==Ninth House Estate==
The Estate of the Ninth House is situated in a clearing in a forest on the outskirts of Araraniax Village, in [[Betazed|Arandel]].  The estate was formerly three gigantic mushroom shaped buildings.  One of the buildings used to house "The Grand Chamber of Nobility", a chamber that centuries earlier used to entertain nobles from the many houses of Betazed when the Ninth House was then in favour with them.  The paintings on the ceiling of the room showed a depiction of nobles past from many houses, the artwork rivaling the apparently famed “Sistine Chapel” in Italy on [[Earth]].

The ruins are accessible via a winding gravel path that runs through the main grounds.  The beginning of the path is surrounded by well manicured trees and plants. It runs adjacent to fields growing different types of mostly Betazoid crops, but some alien crops including Earth crops (such as wheat).  The path follows into a forest of thick trees, which eventually gets thicker before leading to a hairpin{{SimRef | CHARACTERS=Ens [[Addison MacKenzie]] and Lt JG [[Wil Ukinix]] | SIMTITLE=Roots (Part 1) | SIMLINK=https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/eoHFZvT_rQ4/m/TP5Jyw_-AgAJ | STARDATE=239605.26 }} just before the site of estate ruins<ref name="RootsPt1" />.
