Lady Miranda's new city- Prizzle used to be one of the family's earliest settlements, before they moved to the much more geographically advantageous Caira.
This history was shown through the existence of a large, magnificent marbled mausoleum built right at the center, housing the remains of many of Lady Miranda's ancestors, including her grandfather, and a placeholder piece for her father since his body was never recovered from the sea.
Alexander would enter the place as a sign of their alliance, as well as mundane curiosity- he had never entered such a huge 'temple for the dead' before.
The inside of the stone mausoleum with its huge arches and thick pillars was perhaps even more spacious than it appeared from the outside, with a huge antechamber or hall serving as a gathering place for visitors right behind the huge enormous wooden door.
