===The Fleeced Foyer===
====The Caravansary====
The massive building appended to the Atelier (accessible from the Foyer), with a square walled exterior and a single portal wide enough to permit large or heavily laden beasts to enter. The courtyard is open to the Mansus-sky, and the inside walls of the enclosure are outfitted with a number of niches and chambers to accommodate merchants and their servants, animals, and merchandise. Great many tents, striped white and brown in colour, are either standing in the clearing, or are attached to the building, as extensions to the niches. This is a no-conflict zone, where fair trade is encouraged and fighting is frowned upon and punished severely.
The '''Cameleers''' move regularly between the Caravansary and other locations, notably the City of Dust, and the Stone Meridian. Dreamers from the Caravans that travel across the Wastes in the Wake often dream into the current position of the Cameleers in the Mansus, and that link works both ways - it is possible to access the Wake where the Caravans are by travelling with the Cameleers. They are transporting messages, valuables and materials, and for this reason, the '''Rag-picker''' , the '''Grand Merchant''', and the '''Velveteen Valet''' can sometimes be seen here. Other than them, there are three residents - the '''Cashmere Keeper''', a member of the Couture, and two Long, '''Cameline''' and '''Camelot'''.
Undeveloped notes:
- straw that broke the camel's back
- a camel slaughtered for important guests?
- the Silk Road?
