The residence is the private home and After-Hours Office of Harm Bumastus, a high-ranking advocate and a key administrative official within the Directing Oligarchy's legal apparatus. While his primary office is in the High Quarter, here is where he handles sensitive foreign cases—disputes involving wealthy merchant houses from Ahlissa or the Baklunish West that require a delicate, unofficial touch. This is a wide, two-story townhouse built from durable yellow sandstone, featuring a series of sturdy iron-barred windows and a heavy, reinforced door of dark mahogany. Unlike the more decorative estates of the Garden Quarter, Bumastus's home is built for functional security, with a small, enclosed stone courtyard used for private consultations and the parking of a secure, black-lacquered carriage.
