A small, crystalline pool edged with profuse ferns and seasonal wildflowers offers a spot of serenity in the otherwise busy entrance to the guild proper. Impressive in size and architectural detail, the fortress looms just ahead, while the manicured courtyard and outdoor areas beyond rest placidly in its grand shadow. A slate walkway and well-defined paths meander further into the grounds.
