'''Estate''': Locksmith Row, Faoron's<br/>
<br/>
Valia has reclaimed the home of her childhood and restored the name of her father to the shop.  The hapless master who claimed it after her father was executed and she was kicked out sold the shop ''very'' cheaply, as his business had already been ruined by a rash of targeted break-ins making mockery of his locks.


Not that Valia is truly going into legitimate business.  Two journeymen keep the business going functionally enough to be unremarkable, getting more freedom to manage their work than they would in most master's shops in exchange for not asking any questions.  Valia has taken the upper apartments to herself, while the lower apartment and the backrooms are used for Black Turban business.  For indeed, she has rejoined them, finally accepting the guildmaster's offer, and taking to styling herself as a proper princess among thieves.  She has given the proper appearance of obsequiance to the Ghouls, but has made sure all the thieves in her employ are personally loyal... Preferably with the help of Morous' spells.
