Baruk's Estate

Baruk's Estate was the alchemist's home in Darujhistan. Baruk was known to keep his estate in pristine condition. Ornamental wrought-iron gates allowed entrance to the grounds which were adorned by a small fountain in the shape of a boy with an amphora. The estate was warded with magical barriers which Baruk thought no one should be able to pass undetected, however, the Great Raven Crone demonstrated that she was able to do so.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 6, UK MMPB p.198
What was likely Baruk's equivalent to a sitting room contained a plush chair which was located in front of a smoky glass window with broad shutters.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 6, UK MMPB p.197/198 The room also had at least one other plush chair. A rug was located in front of a fireplace.Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 6, UK MMPB p.203

== In Orb Sceptre Throne ==
The estate had several towers, the tallest of which could overlook the Estate District of Darujhistan. It also had several donjons, the deepest of which had a locked, warded and sealed iron door.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 3
The gate was wrought iron and there was a curving flagged path that led to a small fountain where a small spray of water spouted from the mouth of the amphora held at a stone boy's shoulder. The estate was abandoned and garbage lay strewn around. Inside, the place was an absolute mess, with shards of ceramic urns and expensive glassware littered everywhere. Rallick also observed the slippered feet of a small but heavy female who had in a juvenile, vindictive fashion laid waste to the entire place.Orb Sceptre Throne, Chapter 5
