Dozens of different species of flowers inhabit the field, none harming another. In fact, not a single dead or dying flower can be seen. Its as if some master gardener has been at work here, or maybe a few of them in concert. To the south lies a huge wall of solid granite, stretching to the east and west, although the east is made impassable by a large fence made of tree trunks stacked one atop another. ~ 0 4 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 1304 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 1306 D7 ~ ~ 0 -1 1300 S #1306 Before a Carved Wooden Gate~ You stand before a large gate carved from the trunk of a single immense tree. The gate is perhaps twenty feet high by fifteen feet wide, with a single cut down the center, to make it a double door. The entire surface is covered with million upon million of perfectly carved, intricately painted flowers. It seems every species is represented upon its surface. You can see roses, begonias, daisies, daffodils, wisteria, carnations....thousands more. Two large handles cast from, what appears to be, gold are fixed to either side of the cut that seperates the doors halves. They are fashioned to look like large sunflowers, the only thing odd about them is that their set at a height of about eight feet. Maybe giants live here... ~ 0 0 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 1300 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 1305 D2 ~ gate~ 1027 -1 1307 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 1303 D6 ~ ~ 0 -1 1304 D7 ~ ~ 0 -1 1302 R M 0 1300 2 1306 R E 1 1315 1 16 R E 1 1314 1 9 R E 1 1316 1 24 R M 0 1301 1 1306 R E 1 1313 1 3 R D 0 1306 2 1 E gate~ upon further examination, you can see that each flower has a face of sorts... ~ S #1307 An Ornate Entryway~ Just inside the gate, you find yourself in a very ornately decorated entryway. A hall runs to the south of the entryway, and two doors rest in the eastern and western walls. A small, round, table sits in the center of the room, a vase resting on its top. The table, and the two doors are of a size you consider normal, as opposed to the gate, which is simply immense. The floor is carpetted in a thick forest green shag, which strangely resembles grass. The walls and ceiling are painted to duplicate the daytime skies, a few puffy clouds on a vast sea of baby blue. ~ 0 8 1 D0 ~ gate~ 2059 -1 1306 D1 ~ door~ 3 -1 1312 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 1308 D3 ~ door~ 3 -1 1327 R D 0 1307 0 1 R D 0 1307 1 1 R D 0 1307 3 1 S #1308 A Beautiful Hallway~ This hallway is carpetted in a rich, forest green shag, which resembles grass. Another table, this one square, sits in the center of the room. It is perhaps three feet high, and two feet by two feet wide. A large candelabra sits atop it casting a soft glow on everything. The hallway continues to the north, where a huge gate can be seen.

The floor is covered with a thick white shag, which is where the similarity to her husbands office begins and ends. The west wall has a long, sky blue sofa that appears well used. A modest desk made of oak sits near the south wall, a comfy leather chair situated behind it. The east wall has two nicely painted bookshelves centered on it.

The chairs at the northern end are exactly like the other twenty-two, except their on a five inch raised dias so as to elevate them above the others. Whoever sits there must rule this castle. The walls are covered in white marble, lightly veined with black, the top and bottoms of which are gilt in heavy gold fashioned to resemble a multitude of flowers. Ten sconces are set into each of the four walls, two feet from the top, casting a nice glow upon the entire room. ~ 0 8 1 D3 ~ door~ 1 -1 1318 S #1324 Azaleas Study~ The room is fairly bright, lit by the sun streaming through the east wall by day, and by four braziers by night. The entire east wall is made of perfect unblemished glass, which appears to have been recently polished. The carpet is a luxurious blue shag, which perfectly compliments the walls that are painted a soft powder blue.

The southern wall is adorned with a large shield bearing the Whiterose crest, and two crossed broadswords behind it. Four bookshelves line the east wall, hiding all but the top two feet of it from view. The west wall has a large three seat sofa, upholstered in white leather, with a long two foot high, five foot long coffee table before it.

The walls are painted a stark white, which can barely be discerned due to the myriad of hand drawn pictures done by artists seriously lacking in talent. The floor is covered in perfectly levelled and mortised slate. The seams are so perfect in it, that its highly unlikely that even the slimest of blades could be forced between them. A few low bookshelves sit against the north wall, crammed full of various books, most of which appear very dogeared and tattered. The room is lit by the sun streaming through the west wall, which is made entirely of glass, during the day, and by a large chandelier by night. ~ 0 8 1 D1 ~ door~ 3 -1 1333 R M 0 1309 1 1338 R D 0 1338 1 1 E pictures~ ---------------------------- | 0 0 0 0 0 | | * | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ---------------------------- A picture of what appears to be some kind of forest.

Eight chair-desks face the front of the room. As you stand at the back of the room, you can see a large chalkboard filling the west wall, and a well used desk off to the right of the chalkboard. That would be the teachers desk, one would assume. The south wall is devoted to bookshelves, filled with weighty tomes which is the sum of all the knowledge these people transfer from generation to generation. ~ 0 8 1 D1 ~ door~ 3 -1 1334 R M 0 1308 1 1339 R D 0 1339 1 1 E chalkboard~ Tests: Homework: Botany - Monday Read chapter 6 Solar Finish end of chapter quiz Nutrition - Thursday Due: Wednesday ~ E bookshelves~ Hundreds of books on plants and flowers and how to grow them...weird. ~ S #1340 A Well Filled Library~ The room is filled with row upon row of neatly ordered bookshelves. Silent figures move about between the rows, quietly conversing, or reading. A small cabinet sits near the rooms entrance, plainly labelled 'card catalog'.

You can look out to the west and see only trees as far as the eye can see. Everywhere you look, trees. Such a sight must be calming to those in tune with nature.

The four windowless walls are covered in fine black marble, lightly veined with green. The room is dominated by a huge desk, painted completely black, with small inlaid dragons made of mother-of-pearl. Situated behind the desk is leather covered arm-chair with a high back. Tall bookshelves, overloaded with arcane tomes, line the walls. A large gothic style clock sits atop the shelf directly behind the desk, its hands frozen at twelve o'clock. There is a smaller leather chair in front of the desk, liberally stained with blood, as is the carpet it sits on. The stains appear to be from several different victims, judging by the apparent age differences of the splatters. The overall effect of the furnishings, coupled with the lack of light is that of dread. It would be wise to tread lightly here.... ~ 0 35659788 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 1311 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 1200 R M 0 1399 1 1399 R O 0 1399 1 1399 E plaque~ up | Parlour of the Immortals ----------------------------------------- North | Kingdom of the Sunflower ----------------------------------------- East | StoryBook (newbie entrance) ----------------------------------------- West | None ----------------------------------------- South | None ----------------------------------------- ~ E chair~ The blood of annoying people is scattered over the chair, making it look nasty. ~ E clock~ The clock is made entirely of a dark black wood, its top adorned with a row of five ceramic skulls, the center one just larger than the other four.
