Naeaia's home in the Shadowgrove district is a modest refuge of incongruous charm amid the surrounding decay. The building is a small, weathered structure with a sagging roof and wooden planks darkened by time, yet it retains a surprising sense of care. A low stone wall defines its perimeter, and an overgrowth of herbs and resilient greenery spills from planters and cracks in the stone, suggesting a deliberate effort to cultivate life where none should thrive. The steps leading to the door are clean, each showing signs of wear but recently swept, and the windows are patched but intact, allowing the faint glow of lamplight to pierce the perpetual shadow of the district. Around the edges, evidence of scavenging and repair is evident—repurposed wood and salvaged metal providing reinforcement. It stands as a quiet statement of resilience and defiance, offering a rare hint of sanctuary in a district defined by desperation and neglect.
