The compound consists of two separate sections. The personal quarters of Sumara is a spacious and airy villa in the traditional Takrin desert style, dominated by an open air central courtyard surrounded by the living quarters of the slaver and her freeborn staff. A bathing pool is the main feature of the courtyard and around it are rugs and cushions for household members and guests to be seated upon.<br/><br/>To the rear of the compound are the business premises. Slave pens and training rooms fill this area. A rear gate to the compound allows access for slave transports without disturbing the household.
