	4826 Maple Dew, not to be confused with the nearby Maple Dew Lane or Maple Dew Court, is the address in the north-western quadrant of [[New Arindell]], and eventual home of [[Scarlet Jusenkyou]]. It was acquired in [[N.D.]] 501 by [[Royland and Annaria Jusenkyou]], who purchased a lien on it to gain legal ownership since the exact nature of of the deed was a bit murky. The house was in need of much work, which Roy bartered for mostly using his ~~fanancial~~ know-how. Scarlet was two years old when the family moved in, and has no memory of living anywhere else.		4826 Maple Dew, not to be confused with the nearby Maple Dew Lane or Maple Dew Court, is the address in the north-western quadrant of [[New Arindell]], and eventual home of [[Scarlet Jusenkyou]].

	Despite its presence on a common suburban lot in a well-defined neighborhood, 4826 Maple Dew has quite a fabulous history of which its later occupants knew nothing. Parts of it, date back to the [[Age of the Dragon]], when the first building was constructed on the site: a three-story, heavy-duty brick edifice, designed to appear on the outside as a mid-range mansion, while the inside was constructed as a fortress. It was made on the order of the [[Paladin]]s, who had it linked to the network of tunnels beneath the city, and part of a series of defenses built around [[Valley ~~Gail~~ Keep]], and intended as a staging area for a possible battle to be fought over the city of [[Arindell]].

	Through the [[Long Night]], it was alternately used as a guard post and cache for the [[Library of Arindell]], with control passed between Paladins, [[Rangers]], and eventually the [[Craftsmen]]. Eventually it was buried in a series of mudslides. Only the top floor remained visible, but the insides were kept clear to provide valuable access to the tunnel system. The upper floor was used as an observation post, as it had a good view of the valley floor but looked like any other ruins.

			==Notable Features==
			Outwardly the house does not stand out much, aside from being a bit larger than the others on the block. It is notable for the driveway, which slopes down into the garage instead of up, with the garage being a few feet lower than the rest of the building. There is a room above the garage with a steep, peeked roof and a single large window.

			Internally, the house has a total of four bedrooms. The one above the garage, the master suite, and two smaller bedrooms at the back of the house connected by a bathroom. All of the areas with plumbing are oddly off-set, clustered in one corner of the property away from the garage, greatrooms, and dining room. One of the bedrooms contains a curious sliding book case that provides access to a closet.

			In the master bedroom is the largest in the house, and despite the southern exposure and long eaves, has only high, narrow windows which do not admit much light. A skylight was added sometime late in the home's history. The closet was once much larger, the size of a bedroom in its own right, but most of it was converted into the master bathroom. In what remains of the closet, another unusual feature resides. A staircase, which deadends at one wall and into the ceiling. It's purpose is a mystery, as the house is not known to have ever had a full second story.

			The house is well-known for it's intricate, fine woodwork that can be seen all over the interior. It also has a heavy wooden frame and unusually thick walls, which give the interior a cool, quiet feel. Properly restored and with legal ownership settled, it is quite a valuable house.

	The house itself again had it's basement closed off. it was bought, sold, rented out, until the latter part of the century.

	Enter [[Royland and Annaria Jusenkyou\|Royland Jusenkyou]], who wanted a house quite badly, could not afford one. He found out about the property through his contacts at the bank. He'd asked them to look for a foreclosure that might be undesirable for various reasons, and thereby undesirable to the myraid of house-flippers running the city. He first learned about the 4826 Maple Dew property because it was in foreclosure, did not require a great deal of work, and was listed as a "red" property(sell immediately under-cost) by the bank. He did some research and discovered the myraid of problems with the property, but realized it was worth the risk.

Now a soul proprietorship, the owner(who went by the name Bernie) was in rather dire financial straights.

Now a soul proprietorship, the owner(who went by the name Bernie) was in rather dire financial straights. He had never been particularly good at managing his finances, and had never recovered from the blow a decade before. Roy struck up a friendship with the man, and helped him work out his books, and then assisted with selling off the remaining equity in the company so Bernie could retire. In exchange, Bernie sold the lien to Roy for about a third of it's estimated value.

			Next, Roy had Eliza Franklin declared legally dead in Arindell, on the grounds she had not set foot in the city or filed taxes in over ten years. Her whereabouts were unknown, but as she no longer had any accounts open with HNMB, the bank considered this reasonable cause to terminate the agreement of her mortgage, allowing them to sell the house. Since it was still a legal grey-area(and he did not qualify for a mortgage at the time) they bank allowed Roy to assume the responsibility. He bought the house for 1 wingbeat in exchange for taking out a sizable personal loan to pay the balance of the mortgage in cash. He was then able to convert the loan into a mortgage as the legal owner of the house.

			As for the mysterious Charles Drew, who had never been a resident of Arindell and also could not be located, Roy had him declared dead as well. While both of these declarations were a questionable legal tactic, it had the fortunate side-effect of creating an extra snarl. If either claiment ever resurfaced, they would first need to prove themselves "alive" before they could begin any action. Given that no one besides the bank(who was happy to be rid of the property) had made any attempts to claim it in over ten years, Roy figured the risk was worthwhile. To further cement his claim, he moved his family in immediately(despite conditioning being initially uncomfortable) and filed paperwork renting the property out to himself. This gave him short-term protection while he worked to improve the property, which would further cement his claim. Over the next few years, he filed every piece of paperwork he could find to prove he owned the house, bartering accounting work for legal work, to ensure that if anyone else did come forward, he would at least create enough roadblocks to make it difficult.

			The end result was that Roy took possession of the house for a reasonable percentage of it's value and at a fantastic interest rate, none of which should have been possible for a 21-year-old junior accountant with two dependants.
