On the edge of the Sovereign Ward, and in view of the city’s largest temples, is a stately manor belonging to the noble ir’Uvanto family. This old Aundairian family lost most of its fortunes, its holdings, and its children during the Last War, and has struggled ever since to maintain both reputation and a high standard of living. The nobles make their living now by selling a vast collection of gems, jewelry, and objets d’art, many of which have been looted from the family’s own mausoleums. The gallery itself, known as ir’Uvanto Family Antiquities, occupies the ground floor of the manor and is open to the public.
Claws in the Dark: Bitterness and desperation drove the family’s patriarch, Arvos ir’Uvanto, to betray his country by accepting an offer he couldn’t refuse: His estate has now become a safe house for the Order of the Emerald Claw. With a hidden cell operating in the very shadow of Fairhold, agents of the Order work to insinuate themselves in the city’s more esteemed institutions and network with its criminals. Not all members of the ir’Uvanto family approve of the Order’s presence, but the most reluctant have been silenced by savage threats. Still, if any of these sent out a servant to find help, they might be willing to talk if they could be guaranteed protection.
