Minstrels’ Island: one of the central islands forming the city if Ij; home to the College of Minstrels
.
“…it was mid-afternoon before they turned toward Minstrel’s Island and the Inn of the Golden Lute.
The inn was located close to the great, golden dome of the College and was a substantial, three-storey affair, with the upper levels built around three sides of a large courtyard. Timber balconies overlooked the central area and the heralds’ boots thudded on the stairs as a servant led them to the topmost gallery. The afternoon air was heady with the scent of jasmine growing along the balustrade and a College bell rang out the hour.”
