A Torch-Lined Rocky Incline
   Every several feet in either direction on this incline leading to
Castle Ravenloft to the east burns a small torch atop a silverish pole
on either side of this rocky incline.  The gentle, and softly-fuzzing
magical crackling of these torches enhances the mood produced by the
serene, yet breathtakingly beautiful view of Barovia below.  From this
vantage point one can see the gentle kiss of the pillowish clouds on
the tips of the finger-like branch tips of the Svalich trees.
   Blood, guts, tortured comrades, helpless bleeding, dying...
   Ferocious nightmares eventually consume the thoughts of any mortal
with the brave desparity to conquer such a fretful, vengeful, terrible
domain.

The Portcullis
   This large outer gateway to the Castle of the great Strahd Von Zarovich,
here atop Mount Ravenloft, serves as the outer gateway to the Castle.  As

with gateways on either side leading to corners to the respected east and
west wings of the spired castle.

On the Drawbridge
   This large drawbridge spans from the portcullis to the inner gates of
castle Ravenloft.  These gates open into the foyer of the Castle Proper
of Ravenloft.  The drawbridge below is made of huge pillar-like stalks
of ancient Svalich wood.  The bridge is  based by huge bands of
steel with finely-crafted bolts of steel.  Massive steel chains hold
the drawbridge to two massive diorite pillars on either side of the
drawbridge's base end.

Before the Castle Doors
   These massive gates open at the great stone base of the drawbridge west
of here into the great Castle.  Unlike a portcullis gate most larger castles
bare, Castle Ravenloft is ported by doors of great, ancient doors of Svalich
wood.  These massive doors, guarded by the forms of four massive stone
gargoyles of vampires, open into the Castle Proper of Ravenloft.  The great
and most exalted Strahd Von Zarovich calls this massive dwelling his home,
and even his mansion.

The Foyer
   This large central chamber within the Castle Proper of Strahd's fortress
opens with arch-like portals to the east and west with large rooms of the
castle.  This foyer leads upwards across long, wide steps back south to
the inner gates of the Castle.  Beyond a rim of fine stone of the these steps
the floor is carpetted with a blood-red dressing.  This
carpet extends with this main hallway of the Castle to the north of here.
This particular chamber extends upwards into a massive dome where a suttle
twilight forces one to keep their vision sharp.

A Blood-Red Carpeted Hallway
   This long hallway leads directly north and south in this main hallway
of the Castle Proper of Ravenloft.  As one travels further into the
Castle, a chilling terror creeps across one's body.  The looming presence
of Strahd is felt living in the very walls of Castle Ravenloft itself.
Ancient paintings of eons of notoriously-feared vampires of the lands
adorn the walls between magical torches and long silken curtains.  The
carpet below is red as the highest and greyest of elves blood.

A Pool of Blood Atop a Stepped Rise
   The carpetted hallway continues around this pyramid-like stepped rise
that ends with a wide pool of blood.  Way up in the distance from an
unknown source in the darkness, tiny drops of blood fall from above
into the pool of blood from all different sides of the pool, falling
with soft droplets, one after another.  This chamber serves as an
intersection in Castle Ravenloft.  This blood-red carpeted hallway
continues north and south from here, while an arched opening to the
east and west lead to the Neas'Yreva Spire and the Ravenloft Library.

The Channeling Room
   This chamber, off the hallway in the northern portion of the Inner
Court, has a large circular carpetted floor where the master of the
castle channels strength from other planes and sources.  Certain Vistani
shadowmages are also brought into this portion of the Castle where they
may channel great power for further seering by Strahd Von Zarovich beyond
the walls of his castle.
