Located between a private Aotora garden and the manor of a Yogo lord, the Phoenix embassy on World of Dreams is rather peaceful with experimental, and highly temperamental, acoustic wards keeping the din of the never-sleeping city at bay. While working as planned most of the time, the wards have an unfortunate tendency to crackle with static, shooting a shower of iridescent sparks in the air whenever the spiritual arrays are overwhelmed. Because of this, the building has been dubbed the House of Sneezing Thunder by the Scorpion mass-media, while the general population prefers to keep a healthy distance from the embassy.

Inside, the embassy is much like any other diplomatic office. Several well-furnished two-bed rooms stand ready to host visiting dignitaries and merchant patrons with a small, but dedicated staff of heimin taking care of daily upkeep. A large, comfortable lounge serves as a gathering space for the samurai present. With soft pillows cluttering the floor, low tables allow the visitors to work while enjoying refreshments or meeting with local dignitaries. Two large, muted informators showing Imperial and Scorpion newsfeeds hang from the ceiling, angled in such a way that one may sit down without having to see the flickering screens. Two small and relatively quiet cleaning bots lurk beneath the tables, darting out with the grace of an elderly cat when their sensors detect trash on the floor. An ancient, and largely automated, electric kettle sits next to a kamidana, serving high quality green and barley tea mostly following the programmed specifications.

Location special rules: Infused by the spiritual energies running through the building, the electric kettle located at the common room of the embassy is partially-awakened. A samurai requesting the machine to brew themselves a cup of tea will be served scalding hot tea with a healthy helping of sweetener unless the player can commune with the kettle (casting Commune: Fire with one Raise) to persuade the kettle to serve the tea at an appropriate temperature and sweetened as player wishes. However, when operating as it should, the kettle produces excellent tea that sooths both the mind and soul, allowing the character to regain any one spent Spell slot. This effect cannot trigger more than once per day per character.
