An audience at the Office of Elder Buonocore

[Madvillain]

Sephardi Villa - Planet Crete

Nestled in the heart of the Sephardi compound, high in the rugged mountains north of Nova Magerit, stands the heavily fortified Sephardi Villa. Though "villa" may be too modest a term, for it is more akin to a palace. Should one be fortunate enough to traverse its grand, opulent halls, overflowing with treasures looted from all corners of Sirius, they might eventually arrive at the inner sanctum. There, on opposing wings of the building, lie the offices of the Consul and Proconsul Elders, each locked in an eternal stare across the penthouse court of the villa.

To the right is the drawing room, which leads to the Consul’s office and private quarters, currently occupied by Elder Cesar Gutierrez. Yet, despite his name on the door, he is seldom present, preferring to spend much of his time aboard Memoria, the Brotherhood’s flagship. To the left, a mirror image awaits, though this wing is the domain of Elder Juanez Buonocore. The hallway leading to his office is far more extravagant, with marble statues, stuffed felines that once roamed the gardens, golden chandeliers, and bowls of fresh fruit lining the path. At the far end, behind a marble statue that seems to depict Buonocore himself "inspecting" a lady, a grand, imposing door stands ready to welcome any who dare knock. Buonocore's stance on audiences is simple: if one can make it this far, they are welcome to attend his office hours. Three days a week, he holds court here, often inviting individuals for private meetings.

Knock on the door twice and wait for the doors to open for an audience.
