My manor is in the heart of the desert of my favorite area, Miau. It is near an oasis and the backyard has some wild grass that I love walking around in. I set up a fountain in it that I sometimes watch. The local bugs appreciate the tending I do to my backyard.
Manor may be the wrong word for my house, it's quite small (1000 square feet) and only has four rooms (kitchen, social area, bedroom, and a simple bathroom).
The focus of my manor is not to be inside the manor. The windows let in a lot of light and heat from outside and allow you to see the stars at night. The bedroom has just enough room for a roughly king sized bed, a bedstand and a standing closet for the three robes I keep as well as some varied sashes with differing symbols on them.
The oasis near my manor has a large pond where wildlife drinks from. Normally the wildlife of the desert is fairly individualistic, but there is a calming effect around the oasis that prevents predator and prey from engaging in their mortal struggles for life and death. It is a source of tranquility, an oasis in the harsh sands.
Few know about the oasis. Fewer know about my manor. Those that have been to my manor and met me have kept quiet about it but sometimes visit to talk and share a meal.
They don't know it's me that made the world they are in, and that's how I prefer it. I'd much rather be an anonymous sage in the desert than their god.
