Extra

Seeing you arrive, the new owner greets you warmly and leads you inside. He proudly explains that the Sultan granted him the estate after the old kingdom fell. His father had been an officer in the old Sultan's honor guard; on the day the city fell, the man crouched in the mud to let the Sultan's horse step upon his back, keeping the monarch's gold-studded harness from the dirt.

You offer polite praise for the story while surveying the carefully tended garden—once planted with medicinal herbs, perhaps—and the many fountains scattered throughout the grounds. You have never seen so much running water in a noble's house; clearly it once served for treatment. You have come to the right place.
So you casually ask about the previous residents. Wishing to ingratiate himself with a court favorite, the owner gladly offers an address at the edge of the city. The physicians, he says, went there after their expulsion. You nod. Only after accepting his generous invitation to dine do you leave the building that is but a shadow of its former self.
