The Post (Location)

From: To Kiss or To Kill
FROM JEAN LORRAH --- The Post is considered one of the finest entertainment establishments in Norlea,originally owned and run by Treavor Axton, Baird's father. It occupies a prime location in the central part of the city. After Unity, Zhag and Tonyo became the regular entertainment and made The Post even more famous. It was eventually named a historic site, and continued to be run by descendants of Baird and Jonmair for many generations.
A three-story building with rooms on the top floor for family and staff, The Post has public rooms on the ground and middle floors, plus a cellar where the finest wine, porstan, and other drinks are stocked. It has a stable, and a yard that accommodates carriages and coaches (later cars and buses).
The ground floor is made up primarily of two large rooms, one the huge gambling hall and the other the salon where featured entertainment is performed. Smaller rooms on the ground floor are offices and meeting rooms, lounges, a kitchen, a cafe, and rooms with various utilitarian functions.
On the middle level are post reaction suites and other rooms where food is laid out for guests. There are also rooms that serve as straightforward hotel rooms for tourists visiting Norlea.
The livery of servants at The Post is form-fitting black trousers or skirts, white tailored shirts, and vests in a variety of colors and patterns that change with fashions and seasons.
The history of The Post includes some famous stories of the days immediately post-Unity. When the notification of the Last Kill Day was announced, Treavor Axton bought a Prime Kill, had the Gen displayed in a cage in the gambling hall, and sold raffle tickets.
The Post was also the scene of one of several Fear Gas attacks across Gulf Territory intended to drive simes to kill Gens and break the Unity Treaty. However, the simes at The Post managed to protect most of the Gens by locking them in the insulated room formerly used to store Gens for that very purpose.
