Tandaros Hearth

The Tandaros Hearth is the ancestral home of House Tandaros. It is a modest, sea-stone compound on the eastern edge of Port Raviel, positioned atop a craggy bluff. A hundred years ago the building served as a shipwrights' guildhouse, until it was bought and turned into a family community for the large and ambitious Tandaros family. The expert mason Ezekiel Tandaros expanded the facility as the family grew through childbirth and marriages, with the guildhouse eventually becoming a compound to fit together all the family, business, and political interests of House Tandaros. This place became known as the Hearth.

The Hearth itself is a vast firepit in the central courtyard of the compound. This courtyard serves as a large, open-air place for the family to mingle and welcome guests. . In the summer, large feasts and parties are often thrown here. It is also the site where the debates and discussions of the Symposium take place.

The Hearth includes several private suites, two guest chambers, an armory, shrine, granary, kitchen, dining hall, ceremonial hall, study, and treasury.
