Arios Government For all you political needs What had once been the mansion of the Thane of Arios was now a building where one would find all political figures of the city. It had been decided that there was no reason that only the Thane should live in the massive building and so it was converted into a government building. It was mostly been the decision of the Thane herself. She was a modest dorin and wanted to be "close to the people" as she put it. It rested in the center of town and stuck out from all the wooden houses as it was made of the same stone that the dock house was. It was two stories high with the main floor being where a majority of business took place. The aedile of Arios took delight in assisting good people get new homes. They didn’t ask for a visa before selling a house only a name. For this reason it was common that former slaves made their way to Arios to live in peace. That being said however, visas weren't usually issued to people either, but they had to ask for one if they were born on the island. Arios only asked that you respected the laws and acted accordingly. There was a garden in front of the building, filled with different kinds of flowers that grew high and seemed to welcome all of the quests with gentle movements. It seemed as though they were waving in the wind that hit them when people walked by. The garden was lined with a fence that had a gate through the street. There were no guards around, none were needed, and there was a big sign that hung from the fence that reading Arios Government was the only clue that this was, indeed, the right place to go. The door, though large, was not heavy even though ten feet tall. The doorway was too low for most giants to fit in, but they could at least open the door and stick their head in to get service. The floors were smooth and well polished, even when people with muddy shoes walked in it was like invisible cleaners went behind them and washed the floor. It wasn’t too far from the truth for it was a group of various Faes that kept the house clean. It wasn't known why, but there had always been a group like that living in the garden and taking care of the house. A reception desk had been added to the center of the room with everything behind it. Two people stood behind the desk, the first was a small woman who looked innocent enough especially compared to the behemoth of a man that stood beside her. They both seemed friendly enough but there was no doubt that they must have had some skill as they would likely be the only defense if the building was to be attacked. They knew most people that came through the doors and gave always the same greeting to who ever stepped in. “Serale, Welcome to the Arios Government building. In which ways can we assist you this brightening?” one of them would ask with a polite smile. The Thanes office was off to the left, and down a short hallway with other doors that were always closed. There was talking heard behind them more often than not. Once in the office the visitor would be greeted with the new Thane sitting in front of a large desk, papers around her neatly stacked. She was the Thane of Arios, a Dorin female. She looked up at her guests and stopped whatever she was doing and rose. “Serale, please come and have a seat” she would open her paw-like hand to one of the three seats set on the other side of the desk and always waited for her guest to sit down before introductions. “My name is Liat, Thane of Arios. How may I be of service?” The aedile’s office was the busiest part of the government building. It was down the right hall and the door was always open. In the office sat a small pixie on a chair on a table. The pixie was very cheerful and shot up into the air at a guest and flew over to them with a greeting. “Serale! My name is Tala” he said quickly “Please, please come have a seat” he would encourage and he flew off towards a free chair and pointed before sitting in his own customized chair. “I’m new to this position. It is good to serve the town of Arios. Now, what can I do to make life better for you?” his voice was kind and somewhat feminine.
