The Grass Spiders live and train at the range home complex, located diagonally to the Chayan metropoli of Larijyn and Matetha.

The Manse
Home of the Three Elite Fiends, who stay in the manse's inner chambers, the foreboding manse is also where members come to receive their missions and be briefed on relevant operational information points. The Manse also houses the Order's considerable arsenal of First Age and planning rooms where combat and mission strategy is discussed between the Fiends and members.
