The Place
The Butterfly Landing is where Aragost’s factions set down their weapons and their grudges, because the alternative is worse. It is warm, gracious, and watchful. Debts taken at its tables are remembered. It runs on its own law, and that law is Mel.
Why It Matters
Sanctuary in Aragost is not a building—it is a decision someone powerful makes and enforces. Here, that someone is Mel. No blood in sanctuary is the oldest rule in the city, and the Landing is where it is kept most strictly. See Rules & Manifestations.
