A New Tower Rises!
« on: August 12, 2018, 02:46:58 pm »
The Aurumcauda fennecs have approached the palace with a proposal to develop one of the properties of the crown, an old house behind the Ramau Tower, and after some negotiating, their proposal was approved.

The fennecs (with help from the Vances, who provided them marble from their quarries at discount price as part of a separate deal to allow Garnet & Ixion to marry) would build for the Crown a new tower to serve as luxury apartments - basically an extension of Fennecia to accommodate high ranking dignitaries who wish for a more discrete setting while visiting Lismore (since the palace is pretty full and Fennecia is very public) and to house some of their own people as Fennecia is also getting crowded.

The structure will be built by the fennecs and they will manage it and reap the profits from it, however ultimately the terrain where it's built is one of the Crown Properties, therefore ultimately the tower belongs to the Crown.

Ixion and Garnet are expected to take residence in the new tower and to manage its operations.

The tower still needs a name. Currently proposed names are:
  • Fennecia Tower
  • Marble Tower
  • Ivory Tower

P.S.
The marble and ivory references are because the place will be clad in white marble when finished.

Hm, technically, only Solrin approached and made that deal happening without asking the rest of the Aurumcauda leadership, but alright, it happened and so the fennecs have this now ;)

Names... I could think of some appropriate ones!

1. Tower of Overcompensation
2. The Marbled Spear
3. The Size That Matters
4. Sky Penetrator

:D

PS: I d prolly go with Ivory Tower.
Heaven starts with a smile :)

Hmmm, Fennecia is a thing of it's own and I think it would detract from the Hotel if you name another structure in a similar fashion. The Ivory Tower is a thing in the Neverending Story and I'd rather not copy a name straight from established fictions. And Marble... well, simply naming a structure after the material it is build from is boring to me. So I would encourage everyone to come up with some unique names that are actually names, not necessarily adjectives.

My suggestion:

Amaryllis Tower


Edit: And I so love Sky Penetrator. *snickers*

All the fennec are gemstones... mostly. Call it Diamond Rise Apartments or something gemstone related. Scintillating Tower or Radiance Tower after gemstones effects?

'Ivory Tower' it is now!
It will be finished by this weekend, and then furnished and all that.

This weekend will the Days of Naked Strength start up in High Garden. Perhaps you can wait finishing the construction a few more days? Would be rather disappointing if people are rather focused on furnituring the tower and playing events around it rather than to participate up there.

Thank you for holding the event off for a few days. Now Lismore should be ready to welcome the new tower. Don't forget to add a note to the town's gossip board. ;)
