Resting Room Location: Amos fell asleep at one of his workbenches, and was initially kept in his home under watch of a very adept caretaker. However, considering his status as both an exceptionally loyal Zenite and also the guy who assassinated Cyrus, the decision was made to move him to (or at least directly nearby) the Mausoleum, where he could simultaneously be kept under closer watch while being accessible to the denizens of Highstorm.
Description: Upon being moved to a more suitable location Amos was redressed from casual, if shlubby, workman's clothes into ornate black robes, and his body was rearranged into a position that's a bit more dignified than guy who slumped over on his desk. Reflecting the Mausoleum's general atmosphere the space is solemn and tranquil, and it's common to light a candle upon visiting. As he had long since established himself as a mechanic/repairman previous patrons of his would sometimes leave behind things they had commissioned him to build or fix, with offerings increasing as Zenitec comes to fruition. Weaponry is often left behind as well, considering his most recent exceptionally public act, and the fact that the dagger Yima gave him close to when he first arrived has never really left his side.
Except the longer the Repose goes on the more people forget he never presented himself as anything more than just a guy, especially considering Florence's talking up of Zenite Shard-Bearers. Extra care and attention is shown to his space, with offerings growing to increase in value, ranging from precious metals and gemstones to valuable family heirlooms to maybe just really fuckin' fancy candles used to light the space. It probably smells amazing.
Purpose: While initially people would come seeking an item of theirs to be fixed or wishing for luck before embarking on a new project, considering his standing and central location both, coming to Amos' Resting Room becomes kind of a one-stop shop for virtually anything any Zenite might want, in hopes that by visiting him their wish would be granted. Wish your greenhouse garden would grow or that your Zenitec engine would start? Want your jackass neighbour to stub their toe or just fucking die? Want a raise? Wish Skysong would fall out of the sky because it'd be really funny? Visit Amos, maybe it'll happen.
And yeah it definitely gets a bit culty.
Caretaker(s): Adelfoúla! While certain (propagandic) decisions were made over her head (like the decision to dress him up as though he's royalty) she's been his sole caretaker over the years, looking after both him and making the trek to his home/shop so it doesn't fall into disrepair and is somewhere he can return whenever he wakes up.
