Sandswept Hall

Norden Balentiir, venture-captain of Sandswept Hall.

Sandswept Hall, sometimes called Sothis Lodge, is the Pathfinder lodge in the Osirian capital of Sothis. It is a converted jail that the Pathfinder Society rents cells out both to private customers, as well as the government to hold city prisoners; the lodge also has a side-line in bounty hunting. The walls of the compound contain the two-storey main structure, underground vaults, and gardens.

Gardens

The gardens housed inside the walls of the lodge are designed to be a place of tranquillity amidst the bustle of the city of Sothis. They contain date palms, sycamores, and tamarisk; a variety of grapevines and hanging plants are also growing on latticework. There are also two aqueduct-fed pools just outside of the garden from which the Pathfinders draw their water.

Main building

The main building of the lodge is a two-storey structure built out of white limestone blocks with copper-reinforced, wooden doors. Statues of two sphinxes flank the entryway.

Personnel

The current venture-captain of Sandswept Hall is Norden Balentiir.

The lodge's record keeper is Aygrim Bossell, a largely senile Pathfinder kept on out of mercy by the venture-captain.
