Floating Manors

A particular luxury that some Patrician have chose to embrace, partially in memory of the great Heavens of the past that were destroyed by the barbaric Yamataians and partially simply due to the Elysian love of flying and being in the air, is to have a manor (a comparatively large house of the sort seen in rural Europe) based on a anti-gravity disk incorporated into a great piece of rock – aesthetically looking like it has been take directly out of the earth. Depending on the preferences of the individual family the manor can float anything from three metres above the surface to in the high atmosphere (although certain shielding and condition is necessary for this).

The speed at which the manors can travel depends entirely on how many resources the Patrician was wiling to put into the design, although by and large they do not leave the actual property of the family apart from on special of occasions. Getting to and from the manor can be done by way of gravity harness, shuttle or even ladder (in some cases a particularly complex staircase is incorporated for aesthetic reasons).

There is at least one example of a Patrician who has placed his entire estate – including immediate farms – onto a anti-gravity disk in a fit of idiosyncratic fervour.
