History
The Eyrie Building is a massive skyscraper in New York City located on Central Park South. As of 1995 it was the world's tallest building. It serves as the base of operations for Xanatos Enterprises and the more mundane function of a regular office building.
Xanatos built the Eyrie Building in the early 90's both as a personal residence and a corporate headquarters. More than that, however, he built the huge tower to place Castle Wyvern at its pinnacle in order to raise it above the clouds and thus awaken Goliath and his clan from their stone sleep. The Castle was then used as a sort of medieval penthouse.
The building was completely constructed by the fall of 1994 when the Manhattan Clan awoke there. The Clan left the Eyrie Building several months later to live at the Clocktower. Through 1995 and 1996 the building was home to the Mutates and Thailog for a time. Fox and Owen Burnett also live there. Xanatos and Fox were married at the Castle, and in 1996 Alexander Xanatos was born there. The Manhattan Clan moved back to the Castle in October 1996 and now lives there with Owen and the Xanatos family.
Castle Wyvern
For more information on Castle Wyvern see that entry.
The Atrium
The Atrium is a large area located in the large space beneath Castle Wyvern. It is surrounded by glass windows and contains lush foliage and an artificial water fall and stream with a bridge over it. Macbeth and Demona were enslaved here by the Weird Sisters and later the Coldtrio found their way into their new bodies here. The Atrium was also where Anastasia Renard, Halcyon Renard, Petros Xanatos, and Preston Vogel waited for news of Alexander's birth. In 1996, many New Yorkers attended Xanatos' Masque Halloween party in the Atrium.
Helipad
(Need Picture!) On the North side of the building below the atrium is a large helicopter landing area. Though helicopters have often used the Castle Wyvern courtyard as a landing site, this area seems to be the dedicated helicopter storage and maintenance location.
Offices
The bulk of the building composing the lower two thirds of the Eyrie is office space. Many Xanatos Enterprises employees work here. Xanatos himself and Owen Burnett both have private offices of their own, however these are almost certaintly somewhere in Castle Wyvern.
Other Areas
Other places of note in the Eyrie building include a huge generator room to power the vast energy needs of the building and a large gym. The gym is probably located in Castle Wyvern.
The Lobby
The Lobby of the Eyrie Building is fairly standard. Many elevators lead here and there are also several massive starcases leading up into the building. At least one guard is on duty here.
Defenses
In 1995 several additions were made to the Eyrie Building in the name of defense. First, powerful energy cannons were added to several of the turrets of Castle Wyvern. These cannons were mostly destroyed by Talon and the Trio in 1996, it is unclear if they were rebuilt or replaced by superior guns. Also that year, Owen Burnett authorized construction of a energy shielding system to prevent attacks and access to the building. This was mainly done to keep Oberon out, though Oberon eventually was able to bring down the shields by going under the building (the shield stopped at street level) and destroying the generators powering it.
