Finding House Nine took me a fair amount of time, but not because it was difficult to locate; quite the opposite, really, because each of the buildings I passed had a gigantic silver number resting above their doors, signaling that this was one of the many residential areas for the Sect.
Like most of the buildings I had seen these were constructed out of the same black stone that I had spent all twenty some odd years mining up from our quaint little Spirit Jade mine, but instead of just normal black stone there was also a large quantity of dark brown wood and silver accents.
They were utterly massive too, looming high over our heads and sporting dozens of windows and balconies that gave each side of the building character... as well as allowing the inhabitants to lounge about beneath the gentle drizzle as they chatted or just relaxed.
