The Lafayette Estate

The Lafayette Estate was built by Avatar Lafayette in 122. It was built on the eastern coast of the Republic of Suffolk a few miles north of Suffolk's capital city Fort Nassau. It was the only piece of property that was kept safe during the Memphizian invasion of Suffolk later in 122. It holds the largest collection of Art and History in the New World.

Purpose
The Lafayette Estate was built in 121 by Avatar Lafayette. When Lafayette was in Wellington, he found Santiago's Declaration of Nationhood. It was a priceless piece of history that was at the time being searched for by the people of Suffolk and the Santigen Islands. Lafayette brought it to Angelo, the leader of Suffolk, and was paid for his actions. With this money, he was able to build his estate on the eastern coast of the Republic Of Suffolk. Other than a home, it was also a military camp and port for the nation of Suffolk. Lafayette became General of Suffolk's army when he turned 21 years old, and used the Estate to train and house his men.

The Estate during 122-126
In 122, The Memphizian army invaded the Republic Of Suffolk. They were led by King Jay of Memphis. Jay and his men were able to take the cities of Fort Nassau, Fort Suffolk, Kingsbridge, and Norfolk, but could not take control of the Lafayette Estate. When the army was invading Fort Nassau, Avatar Lafayette abandoned his estate to help fight back. Upon failing, he ran to the nation of New Toledo to warn King Franklin of the armies, and then to the Kaspian Royals to stay safe with a couple of refugees and his close friend Romus.

A close friend of Lafayette, Stanley, actually kept the Estate safe. In a letter he sent to Lafayette in 126, he mentions that he and several refugees removed all of the light sources within the building to hide the Estate during the invasion. When the sun rose, King Jay and his army walked to the estate but could not manage to hold onto it because of Stanley's efforts.

In 126, Stanley was informed that Lafayette and Romus were in the city of Covington, so he sent to them a messenger pigeon with the status of the estate. Lafayette and Romus quickly ran into Memphizian occupied Suffolk and orchestrated the revolution to take back their nation from within the estate.

After the death of Lafayette
Avatar Lafayette spent his final years living in the estate with his wife Victoria. The estate has been a quiet sanctum since the death of Lafayette. Avatars after him build estates of their own to hold their valuables when they die. Estates are the real tombs of the New World. Unlike Airwalkers, Avatars tend to have estates and tombs.
