I chose a small apartment outside of the Royal Quarter in Stellari. 'Tis nothing much, as of yet; I've not taken the time to decorate. But there are all manner of conveniences nearby.

I'm not yet certain that's where I will stay, however. I've considered finding a different house. Perhaps one more removed from the city, where I might see wildlife.
