I'd probably go for Great Forks if I could choose. Get myself a nice little villa by selling some Temperance to a visiting Fair Folk diplomat, get a job as an accountant or something involving bookkeeping, take the time to dabble in thaumaturgy if I have the budget for a lab... The Art of Enchanting would be useful for a peaceful life, maybe Geomancy if I become an Essence-using mortal so I can attune to things. Plenty of potential for good living there. Until Thorns attacks, prompted by the Lover destroying Lookshy. Better dabble in the Art of the Dead so I can get a job as a necrotechnician.

...Unless, of course, they visited Nova's city during the winter, and it isn't always that cold.
