>>171348Being in a large city can make it hard to find things. Not because there is little to go by, or too little information, but because there is too much. This can be to Posey's advantage. It's very easy for Posey to blend in. Even when she's an obvious outsider, and a foreigner, she is one of thousands.
>>171340>>171304Posey is, in essence, walking into a similar situation as she did before with the Kaftar and Crocuta community, though to a lesser extent. This area is the southern part of the Redheart district, hugging the Locust Promontory and the northern edge of the Delemare River. The buildings here, as elsewhere, tend to be crowded tenement blocks dating to sometime in the last century, four to five stories tall, with narrow units, dark brown brick facades that are plain and out of style, and occasional mismatched colorations of bricks that tell of repairs or even wholesale rebuilding of many of the buildings after some easily imagined disaster caused a partial collapse of the structure. Little bakeries, cobblers, grocers, medicine stores, and the like dot the lowest floors facing the street, and zoning is non-existent, as evidenced by the scattered giant manufactories that take up entire blocks.
Posey actually passed through this way some days ago, on her way to the ghetto. This area is more open, with fewer obvious signs of decay, fewer damaged street lamps and trashcans, and less garbage on the ground. Griffins stand out, making up perhaps 50% of the population. Even the pony population - numerous here, as everywhere - seems oddly foreign, wearing sometimes the bright colors of the Northern Griffonian ponies, the ponchos of the southern Equestrian ponies, or the webbed wings of the dreaded bats. Military and police do not seem to fear neighborhood, even as they do not trust it, and their patrols are semi-regular, if perhaps understaffed. Posey passes along at least one structure that takes up an entire block, with its imposing rectangular shape, odd blue coloration on the roof and symbols of the bear, the plow, and the wind, and two towering minarets - Posey knows what this is.
Arriving at her destination, Posey finds a fairly normal looking structure - a thin apartment block with a stone facade on the first floor, five floors in total, and her destination as apartment B on the third floor. Forlorn Grandeur is the name.
