Six Towers is a deteriorating district of Doskvol that was once among the city’s most prestigious addresses. Its name derives from the six grand residential towers that still dominate the skyline—now gutted, crumbling, and largely reclaimed by squatters, small-time gangs, and those with reason to keep their work far from civic eyes. The district’s limestone construction is distinctive and well-known to those who work with it; even a trace of the fine white dust on a coat cuff can mark where someone has been. The towers and their grounds were once home to Six Towers’ founding noble families, wiped out generations ago in the Purge after they rose against the Immortal Emperor—their estates left in legal limbo ever since, ripe for squatting, salvage, or worse.

Limestone dust found on Professor Lancaster’s blazer, identified by the spirit Mister Perkins, suggested his private alchemical laboratory is somewhere in the district. Freakshow’s contact Bryl confirmed that an old carriage house on the north side of Six Towers periodically vents fumes strong enough to make the surrounding neighborhood’s eyes water. Session 4

The carriage house on the north side of the district was located and infiltrated by the Old Town Echoes. Inside, they discovered Professor Lancaster’s secret laboratory: a converted carriage bay filled with chemistry equipment, alchemical ingredients, and a sprawling encoded conspiracy board bearing the symbol of five interlocking circles. The property is covered in invisibility wards of exceptional quality—old and powerful enough to conceal even a death from the Spirit Wardens—and the site is developing into a proto-spirit well, drawing the dead inward due to prior ritual activity on the grounds. The estate’s manor house appears abandoned. Session 7

Sister Beatrice of the Dimmer Sisters confirmed that Frazier Manor, the estate housing the carriage house, is one such property—its ownership unresolved since the Purge, with no legitimate claimant in living memory. Session 10
