Trevon Andarosel. Lives : The Left-Hand Hanging House at the Tower of T, city of Ex. Occupation: Ambassador and Storyteller Comments: "While I was walking in the mountains of Xyunova, I must have stepped through some portal in space and time. Because suddenly I was no longer in the mountains, but in a dense forest. This appeared to be the forest of Ex. During a while, a tried to get back through the same portal, but I never succeeded, and after some time I decided to stay here. Officially I'm the Tantorin ambassador here in Umbagollah, but no other person from Tantorin showed up. That's why I'm also a story-teller, stories from my old home." Trevon lives in the southern part of the city, a well-heeled area where foreign accents and foreign ways are common. Most of the houses here are owned by rich Goolooians, or the families of deposed aristocrats who hark from the Falling Hills, the North-West and northern Gum Gooloo. Although they have lived in Ex for over a century, many of these families like to think of themselves as exotic aliens whose tastes are more sophisticated than those of the common Exian citizen. They are cloistered, inbred and eccentric. His house is suspended on ropes from one horizontal branch of the Tower of T. The Tower of T is called the Tower of T because it is T-shaped. Trevon's home hangs off the left-hand branch. It is a huge, soft cube made from cured and stiffened hide, kept in shape by a cage of wood-and-bone struts. The hide was not properly stripped, so the outside of the house is still rather hairy. The interior is furnished with delicate baroque tables, their legs wrapped in garlands of carved flowers, their tops alive with decoupage images of vile insects dancing and women playing flutes. The chairs are upholstered with firm, circular red velvet seats and supported by thin swaybacked legs; and the legs of the tables are bent at the knees as if the furniture is about to release its tension by breaking into a dance. His bed is an elegant three-poster affair. The occupant can lie there every night and watch wooden snakes, spiders and lizards crawling motionlessly up and down the posts above his head.
