Unless you plan to cover any of this in the Prologue, then completely ignore my ramblings below, I have a few questions/ideas about Xenvia's lodgings.
Seeing as how she is coming to the city with a whopping 3 gold left in her pocket, she's going to need some form of moderate employment for lodgings until the 'adventuring' gets started. Her story is on her mother's kin's last pass thru Kaer Maga, her Harrow reading said she was needed here. But gave no specifics of what for or exactly where... I figure she'll be spending time getting reacquainted with the city and feeling out rumors trying to figure out where to go or just killing time. She'll get might twitchy if she's just sitting around bored, and no one wants a twitchy drow (even half blooded ones). After all, she hasn't spent signifigant time here in the past 11 years. I have 4 ideas for this.
1. Family dwelling: Since the family is 'based' here before they do their traveling merchant schtick, would they have a seasonal home they could lend her access to? If so, your call on what district. (Unless you have other ideas, possibly even a temporary 'base of operations' for the group once we all meet up?
)
2. Calistria's temple in Keystone District. They send night patrols out for 'policing' the district. Can she 'apply' here to her fellow church members for assisting patrols (go go gadget darkvision) in exchange for temporary lodging. (Being also a brothel they may have something?)
3. Ordellia District: "Ordellia's patrols are performed by a combination of hired mercenaries..<snip>..and out- of-work adventuring parties looking to earn a few extra coins from the district's Embassy Building." Plus it sounds like her kind of place! All the varied species would feel like 'home'!
4. Since she has been a guide for caravan's the past 5 years or so, she'd at least be familiar with one area/building/street of the city, where she's picked up commissions for return caravans back towards Kaer Maga or Janderhoff, they might have sleeping facilities? And a guildmaster of sorts she'd be on friendly terms with?
As we've discussed, I am having way too much fun 'researching' the game/city/area!
