Constructed Fantasy Worlds

  1. Main Doors: Doors of oak panels with beautiful carving inside and out, these doors can be bolted in place.
  2. Foyer: This two story room has a balcony running the upstairs perimeter. Eight grey marble columns run up both levels to the ceiling. Each column had an undecipherable inscription. It is now known to be Valerian, and the inscriptions are dedications to each member of the Grey Eight. A very large stained-glass window depicting a gryphon rampant dominates the far wall at the first stair landing. (It is rumoured that Bariath Tormelin once tamed a gryphon as a pet).
  3. Drawing Room: This elegantly furnished and decorated sitting room is used to entertain special guests while they wait for interviews or meetings.
  4. Headmaster's Office: This room serves as an administration hub for the school. The current Headmaster, Revilian Vorn, is a well organized man, with books and papers each in its own place. By default, the Headmaster also sits on the Conclave.
  5. Garden Office: More of a small nursery than an office, this room holds gardening supplies, a small desk for keeping horticultural records, and a number of fragile cuttings and sprouts.
  6. Student Lounge: A comfortable if slightly "worn" room, it is a favourite gathering place for students to talk and play games.
  7. Dining Hall: Three stories high, this great hall is the one room where the entire school can meet. The north wall has three stained-glass windows while the south wall sports a great bay window overlooking the garden.
  8. Kitchens: A narrow stair leads underground to the ice house, cellars and pantry part of the Stores.
  9. Passage: Worthy of note because of its very thick walls and the firing slits along the river side.
  10. Tower Passage: A cave-like curving hall connects the Dining Hall to Oramar Hall.
  11. Armory: A dark storage room, the armory is a treasure-trove of ancient (but mostly unremarkable) magical weapons and armour, and other oddities. The door to the Armory is kept locked.
  12. Stairs: Leading to the next tower level. The door to this stairway is particularly sturdy and is locked (only the Conclave members have keys).
  13. School Garden: A cool, quiet courtyard, this enclosed area features a few birches and poplars, and a variety of shade-loving flowers.

  31. Formal Courtyard: Manicures hedges and carefully laid-out flower beds combine with sculpture, benches and a small fountain to make this a serene place.
