The Brightstone estate of [[Lord Kilgrave]] — a large manor house with a carriage house of its own, set on fenced grounds that back directly onto a canal. Somewhere beneath it lies the vault holding the gold tribal artifact the [[Dimmer Sisters]] have contracted the [[Old Town Echoes]] to steal and replace. Brightstone, where the very richest of Doskvol live, is a district of marble frontages, high walls and higher security, and it does not tolerate the wrong sort of person on its streets. It is also unusually shallow: unlike most of the city, which sits atop layer upon layer of buried older city, Brightstone has essentially always been what it is now, and there is very little beneath it. Its plumbing and stormworks are excellent and well kept. - Scouted from below by the [[Old Town Echoes]], who took the tunnels rather than risk being picked up on the street. The sewers reach the estate but not into it — the only opening in the property is the inlet where the house's sewage flows in. More discouraging still, [[Crow]] found the boundary itself defended: in a sluiceway where rainwater runs off toward the canal, spells and rituals are carved deep into the stone all along the property line. The security is of a markedly higher quality than the crew are used to. [[2026-08-08 - Edinburgh Session 13|Session 13]]
