Percival Thornfallow has not shied away from using his position to extract generous portions of money from The Table and the Zyclest University as a consultant and the head of the Educator Program respectively. These padded coffers he holds are used extensively to continually fit and modify his estate which was, of course, originally purchased with the same wealth funnel. Many modern Wizards are rather skeptical of Percival’s claim to their profession when many signs point to his usage of wealth and permission as a means to the end of comfort not the continued pursuit of power and knowledge. His existence flies in the face of the definition most Wizards write their creeds by. None of this phases Percival though and many would agree that his strange mansion is truly a marvel. It is actually four separate mansions on a single tract of land in the Pelach of Gold near the city wall. Each building is its own “project” and only one is considered “complete” enough by Percival to be of use. It is the most simple currently and known as the Yeld House. The other three in order of construction are the Hazek House, Keha House, and Ashir House. Externally each is wildly different in appearance Yeld being the most plain and becoming steadily more extravagant until Ashir which is gilded in silver lines which are said to pipe Meyda to every room in the house for purposes not entirely known to the public.
Yeld House
Three stories, 8 bedrooms with heated baths and Coalescer Pumps, quarters for paid staff of 4 cooks, 8 maids, 2 butlers, a stable boy and 4 guards and a massive ball room. Though not all that different from a typical mansion found in the Pelach of Gold the Yeld House is called the “testing ground” by Percival and it definitely shows in at least scale.
Hazek House
Every part of this house that can be is made of marble. It glistens brightly in the night and was built on a patch of nearly black turf to further enhance its pristinely white image. The interior of the Hazek House is still being worked on thanks to how long it took to construct and finalize the supports and exterior. Percival says he plans on making it a guest house for visiting Educators who he wishes to wine and dine, meant to encourage would be Educators as a kind of visitors incentive. Perhaps this is why it has gone unfinished the longest of the four.
Keha House
At first glance it would seem the Keha House was built to offset the Hazek House. Painted a charcoal black and landscaped with rare White Yazil flowers it is the perfect negative to its neighbor. The Keha House however does not suffer from the same construction material issues that the marble monstrosity next to it does. Instead it is fully furnished with a black and white theme in each room being almost entirely devoid of color. Percival has even been known to stock a wardrobe in the entrance foyer so he and any guests can change into matching attire. He is on record having said this is his “thinking house”, its odd design inside and out gets his creativity up. Some have reason to believe Keha was built to house several secret love interests which is why he visits it so seldomly yet it remains fully staffed. But this has never been confirmed
Ashir House
The Ashir House has easily cost Percival more than Yeld and Keha combined thanks to the raw amount of silver he had to import and the labor costs to incorporate it in the Noren Tree wood used as the primary structural material. Percival talks often of the Ashir House and how it is his haven of Wizardry where he is allegedly preparing to binding the eighth Crystal Tome. Each room is to be endlessly powered via the silver lines that all connect to a Meyda-well powered centrally by the Zyclester God Stone. In each powered room a different Working could be endlessly iterated on without the need to Transfuse or expend massive amounts of Clips. For this reason there are 88 large rooms in the Ashir House, 77 for the 77 required Workings for a new Crystal Tome and 11 more for living and recreation. It is truly colossal, dwarfing all other residential structures in the city.
