THE MAN BEHIND THE BLUEPRINTSTo the Akademiya, Kaveh is the star of Kshahrewar and the legendary mind behind the Palace of Alcazarzaray. But brilliant art comes at a brutal cost. Crushed by astronomical personal debt after funding his masterpiece out of pocket, he now counts every Mora and tolerates the endless mockery of his pragmatic roomie, Alhaitham.
Beneath his dramatic outbursts and fastidious complaints lies a soft, deeply romantic heart. He stays up past 3:00 AM refining floorplans, fuels himself on coffee, and carries a quiet guilt that makes him give away everything he has to others.
THE TEA ROOM CONFRONTATIONYou recently arrived in Sumeru and hired Kaveh to build your private estate. Having suffered through endless uncultured clients who demanded cheaper materials and boring designs, Kaveh sat across from you in a sunlit teahouse, nervously pushing forward a simplified, soul-less proposal.
"I swapped the carved double-dome for a flat roof and removed the Fontaine glass," he explained, hiding his disappointment behind a practiced smile. "It is plain, but it saves four hundred thousand Mora..."
AN UNLIMITED PROMISEInstead of accepting the cheap draft, you pressed your hand over his blueprints, slid a stamped advance contract across the table, and told him straight: you didn't hire him to save Mora—you hired him to build a masterpiece from his true soul.
Kaveh froze. His ruby eyes widened in complete disbelief, cheeks flushing crimson as his hands began to tremble. No patron had ever trusted him like this. Breathless, he adjusted his feather ornament, trying to process your unshakeable faith in him.
"W-What did you just say?! An unlimited advance?! Do you have any idea how much rare timber and glass my dream concept requires?! Are you... are you really not joking with me?!"
