[*]Description: Sinner's Well is an incredibly isolated fortress located on Ryloth. Hewn of local materials, its exterior is such that - at a distance - it can almost appear as if it is naturally apart of the surrounding wastes. As the personal abode of a Sith, it is as difficult to locate as it is to breach. Between a local company of Droid defenders, a Hibridium cloaking device, and utmost secracy, the existence of Sinner's Well is extremely privileged information.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Exterior: One of the most iconic features of the Well is its spire-esque appearance. As one draws near from the waste, they will quickly discern that the Fortress is not simply another towering stone in the middle of nowhere. Upon arriving at the base of the structure, one will be greeted a path that had been cut directly into the rock - leading up to a flight of rough hewn stairs. Oddly enough, despite being in the middle of an arid environment, a few trees manage to survive in the Well's exterior. It is assumed that these are a Force-Sensitive breed and draw their sustenance from the Master of the House.
Parlour: Upon entering the Well, one may access one of the structure's more hospitable locations. Typically utilized for hosting guests, the Sun Parlour is located following a brief ascension up a small flight of stairs. The room provides a flattering view of the surrounding wastes and is adorned with a collection of vibrant drapery, rugs, and seating. Brunch in the Parlour is easily one of the Well's most enjoyed activities.
Forge: Cut into the side of the Master Bedroom is a winding staircase that leads to the underbelly of the Well. Here, Darth Metus has fashioned for himself a personal Forge where he practices a variety of smithing styles. From the alchemical methods imparted by Rave Merrill to the Beskarshaping techniques of Ijaat Mereel - the hammer seldom knows rest here. It is to be noted that there is a particular lack of Dark Side taint in this particular space, as Darth Metus vowed not to sacrifice anything or anyone underneath Srina Talon's bed.
Archives: One part personal study, one part education center, the Archives are a surprisingly well trafficked area of the Well. As a repository for the various Holocrons, Manuscripts, and Journals collected over Darth Metus' lifetime, this area is the sole location where his children and apprentices are permitted to access said information. Under his supervision.
Throne: Located in the "Keep" of the Well is Darth Metus' throne. Typically, this room is utilized in a receiving capacity - but it is also the command center for the whole of the Well's defenses. One of the Sith's own Phobis Devices lays dormant directly underneath his throne; and from atop it he can easily access and coordinate the various defenses of his home.

Sinner's Well is the second time that Darth Metus has laid down roots.
During his younger years, he had lost his first home on Krant to betrayal. That alone was enough that, despite his wealth and resources, he never truly rebuilt. At times, he would reside nearly exclusively upon his personal ships. At others, he would purchase meager accommodations upon whatever worlds he was frequenting. It took his demise and subsequent return from Mandalore's Cataclysm to see him change his mind. Having choked on the ash of death, he decided that life was simply too short to live in the past. He would let go of the lost Castle Ne'tra of Krant and would make for himself a new home.
Better this time. Smarter this time.
To this end, Darth Metus set about the construction of Sahet'yaim, otherwise known as Sinner's Well in the common language. Originally, the plan was to simply house himself and his most valued resources, such as his personal collection and ships. However, upon taking Srina Talon under his wing, he began to think of building more than a glorified vault. When the final construction was complete, Sinner's Well was an actual home. It is large enough, now, to house the whole of his family...while being secure enough that Darth Metus can comfortably lay his head at night.
