The Autumn King's Villa is located in Five Roses and was the seat of The Autumn King.
General Information[]
The Autumn's King villa is a sprawling marble home. The hallways are made of white columns and soaring atriums with expanses of floor-to-ceiling windows. The walls have artfully concealed panels for tech. There's radiant flooring, automatic blinds, and air conditioning. The ground level contains a formal living room, the dining room, the Autumn King's study, the kitchen, a den, and a game room complete with a pool table and a shuffleboard table. The next level up contains ten guest rooms and the Autumn King's private suite which takes up a whole wing. Ruhn's bedroom is through double doors at the end of the opposite wing. His room looks exactly how he left it upon moving out. Posters of rock bands hang on the walls, ticket stubs are taped to the mirror, and a desk is by the window. There's a massive four-poster bed with black silk sheets. The closet is full of black shirts, jeans, boots, knives, and swords.
The kitchen is utilitarian and clearly built for a team of chefs. There's a massive wine cellar. The basement holds a gym, steam room, massage room, and a sauna in one wing while the other wing has an indoor lap pool, a screening room, and the security office. The guest room Bryce stays in, is on the second floor. It is an elegant but bland blend of marble and overstuffed furniture in shades of gray and white with floor-to-ceiling windows.
The Autumn King's personal study is larger than most single-family homes. It's accessible through towering oak doors. Bookshelves rise two stories on every wall, crammed with tomes and artifacts, both old and new, magic and ordinary. A golden balcony bisects the rectangular space, accessible by either of the spiral staircases at the front and back, and heavy black velvet curtains can block the light from the tall windows on the left wall overlooking the interior courtyard of the villa, olive trees, and lavender beds. The study also contains four massive worktables and an orrery in the far back of the space: a working model of the seven planets, moons, and sun made from solid gold. There are red leather armchairs and a massive personal desk.
