Cadenza Plaza | Home of the Fountain of Rassa
Located in the prestigious Marlika District of Eirin City, Cadenza Plaza is a destination unlike any other in Qranth — a place where divine legacy and modern luxury collide in breathtaking harmony.
At the heart of the plaza stands the famed Fountain of Rassa — a towering monument carved from gold-streaked lapis lazuli, honoring Rassa, the ancient sea deity still revered by over a third of Qranth’s population. Tourists from everywhere flock to witness this awe-inspiring statue, whose thirteen curling tentacles rise from cascading waters to drown weaknesses that prevent Rassa from granting power.
By day, the plaza welcomes visitors to admire its mythic centerpiece and stroll its immaculate terraces, lined with elite designer boutiques, curated storefronts, and marble-paved lanes. Street cafés serve artisanal fare beneath sculpted arcades, and the entire space hums with the quiet wealth of those who know exactly what they’re looking for.
When night falls, Cadenza changes.
Entry becomes exclusive to Eirin City citizens only — a quiet shift that transforms the plaza into a haven of whispered deals, fine dining, and inherited privilege. Candlelit patios on the upper terraces overlook the silver-lit fountain, while the ground floor glows with luxury fashion and hush-toned conversation.
Cadenza Plaza is not just a place to visit — it’s a place to be seen, if you’re allowed.
A tribute to the divine. A playground for the elite. A secret, only partially shared.
Fountain of Rassa
Rising from the heart of Cadenza Plaza, the Fountain of Rassa is one of the most striking monuments in all of Qranth — a towering tribute to the sea deity Rassa, whose influence still lingers across the nation’s spiritual, political, and cultural spheres.
Commissioned by the city of Eirin and completed in 1993, the fountain was made possible through the patronage of the Celesté family, one of Qranth’s most powerful and enduring dynasties. Their gift to the capital was not merely aesthetic, but symbolic — an embodiment of divine power and control, etched in stone and precious mineral.
Sculpted from gold-streaked lapis lazuli, the goddess Rassa stands with her upper body regal and serene, while from the waist down, thirteen immense tentacles spiral outward and downward into the marble basin. Some of her limbs wrap around faceless stone figures, submerged in the rushing water, symbolizing the drowning of thirteen weaknesses said to hinder the pursuit of true power.
A site of pilgrimage for many and a cultural landmark for all, it remains a powerful reminder that in Qranth, devotion, beauty, and power are never far apart.
Roselita's
“Food with heart, served with love and legacy.”
Tucked quietly into a narrow alley just off Cadenza Plaza, Roselita’s is one of Eirin City’s best-kept secrets — a cozy, intimate eatery that feels like stepping into a different era.
Established in 1928 by Rose Ventari and Lita Sandros, best friends with a shared passion for family, friendship, and food with heart, Roselita’s began as a humble kitchen serving soulful meals to neighbors and travelers alike. What began with simple recipes and hand-carved tables soon grew into a beloved institution — one that still carries the warmth and authenticity of its origins nearly a century later.
While the Marlika district has evolved into a showcase of luxury and modern architecture, Roselita’s has remained true to itself — all wood, stone, soft lighting, and slow-cooked flavors. Inside, shelves of vintage wine bottles, faded photographs, and heirloom cookware whisper stories of generations past.
Now run by the descendants of Rose and Lita, the restaurant continues to honor its founders’ legacy, serving dishes steeped in tradition and crafted with care. Locals return for the comfort. Visitors remember it long after they’ve left.
In a city that’s always racing forward, Roselita’s remains one of the few places brave enough to stand still.
