A deep hunter green rug runs along the wooden floor throughout this hallway,
creating an effect similar to thick plush grass. A golden border lines this
rug, defining a line between the dark green of the carpet and brilliant yellow

this hallway, some holding vases and other artifacts while others being bare,

A Balcony
This balcony is rather large, capable of holding almost a dozen men without
becoming too crowded. The railings are carved with delicate skill, little
leaves of ivy engraved into the dark wood. Several chairs are scattered about
the tiled balcony, allowing the Oakencrest family to enjoy the view of Valois,
when they're not busy with military training. The glass top of a small table
holds a huge picture, and several mugs. This vantage point provides an
excellent view of the city, including all of Imperial Road and some of the
western section of the commerce sector.

This wooden staircase leads up to the second floor of the Oakencrest
mansion. Its solid frame is quite impressive, probably designed by one of the
more famous carpenters within Valois. A thick railing leads the way up to the
second floor, preventing anyone frame falling to their death. Several small
paintings hang from the walls here, each one of a passed member of the
Oakencrest family. Oakencrest is a valuable general. He is like a brother to the

The courtyard of the Oakencrest Mansion contains some of the most exotic
plants found anywhere in Valois. Massive bushes line the low wall which
encircles the courtyard, their thick branches adding an extra layer of
defense against spying eyes. Several different trees have been planted here,
adding their lush green color and scent to the other growths. Few flowers
can be seen, but those that are visible appear to have been chosen for their
unusual and sturdy appearance. A path leads northwards, towards the mansion.
Half way there it separates, as it traces its way around a circular fountain
in the courtyard's center. An endless spray of water erupts from a stone
eagle located in the fountain.

This is land east of the massive courtyard that has been cleared of all its

giving even more privacy for those working out or practicing their skills
within the field. The Oakencest family is known as one of the leaders of the
Valoisian Rangers, an orginization geared towards providing protection and
information to the royal family. There is nothing that one of these Rangers
wouldn't do, including taking an arrow for those under their protection.
Because of this, the Oakencrest family spends much of its time preparing for
combat.

Before a Large Courtyard
The king's castle rises a good thirty feet in the air to the north. Guards
forever pace the parapets never to let up their guard even though they are,
in their minds, in the safest spot within the realm. The brilliant black
cobblestones that make up the road are perfectly square and have been laid out
purposely to form a well constructed non-faulty road that gives pleasure to
the nobles that live nearby. The guests of Valois are often taken by the
exquisite design and craftsmanship of the royal roads. Great care has been
taken and afforded in the building of these roads and are the source of great
pride throughout the realm. The great king of Valois resides in the castle to
the north and his loyal retainers support him inasmuch as they can and they are
very powerful. He has rid the nearby plains of orcs and destroyed the hordes
demons in the mountains to the north. He is the greatest king in all the land.

A Red-Hued Brick Road
The brick road is neatly constructed and is very fine. The brick was
chiseled by master workmen. They fit evenly next to one another and are almost
seamless. This is impressive workmanship only fit for the finest of roads.
The brick was stained the color red and the road spans a good twenty feet
wide. It runs northeastward toward the great castle of Valois, and the castle
walls can be seen from this distance. A few shouts can be heard from here from
guards on top of the castle walls. These guards are expert archers with uncanny
marksmanship. They have been trained in the arts of war and have been masters,
just like most of the Valoisian guard, for many years. It takes years of
practice and studying to be admitted into the world's richest and most powerful
army. It does not discriminate against anyone, but it only accepts those truly
committed. All sons of Valois are honored to be dressed in warrior garb under
the kingdoms banner. It is considered a time honored privilege to serve the
king and country. The road continues northeast toward the castle.

Before the Du'kel Mansion
There are two loyal guards protecting the front entrance of the kingdom's
largest mansion, which belongs to Lord Du'Kel. Lord Du'kel is the king's most
trusted ally. He is a powerful retainer and a master of logistics. Having a
man who knows how to move arms and men must be trustworthy and good with
numbers. Lord Du'Kel was a brilliant soldier in his life and an even more
brilliant pusher of wars. He has served the king faithfully for any number of
years in any number of ways. His insignia is that of a flaming dragon. It is
embedded into the two doubled doors of the mansion, which is very large and
has a many stained glass windows with many different designs upon them. The
mansion was constructed using wood, brick, stone, and mortar. There is a small
fence running the perimeter of a plush green yard which keeps small animals
out. The king depends on his retainers for support and if Lord Du'Kel ever
turned against him then he would be doomed for sure politically.

A Cobblestone Road
This road leads to the great castle Valois. Valois is the greatest castle in
all the lands. It is the meeting place of all of the races of the world. They
discuss matters of the state and trade. It is the one place that all the races
can come together to discuss their interests. It is also one of the most secure
castles in all of the land and boasts an army greater than most. The elves
enjoy this great castle and the many luxuries it affords. The dwarven nation
marvels at the design of this castle and the architecture within. The humans
don't pay much attention to the king or the castle but are resolved to work out
their own interests. The barbarians enjoy the celebrations and the food that
the great castle serves. Ulgris, the king of the castle, has an estate larger
than most provinces. He has a royal line of retainers that are powerful in
their own ways and just as rich and influential. The great king relies on their

Inside the Royal Stables
This room smells horribly of dung. It is amazing that this Stable Jock is
still in business for his customers must endure much in order to purchase
mounts that readily stink. A mixture of ponies, stallions, and war horses
remain behind closed cages wondering when they'll be released from this hell
hole. The ground is covered in hay for some strange reason. Oat buckets are
ever present within range of all the horses reach for they have to eat too.
Water buckets are lacking for each pin however, and the only source of fresh
water within the vicinity is the pale hanging on the western wall near the exit
of the stables. A small table stands off in the corner and obviously has and
still is being used for business purposes for Licub.

A Cobblestone Road
This road leads to the great castle Valois. Valois is the greatest castle in
all the lands. It is the meeting place of all of the races of the world. They
discuss matters of the state and trade. It is the one place that all the races
can come together to discuss their interests. It is also one of the most secure
castles in all of the land and boasts an army greater than most. The elves
enjoy this great castle and the many luxuries it affords. The dwarven nation
marvels at the design of this castle and the architecture within. The humans
don't pay much attention to the king or the castle but are resolved to work out
their own interests. The barbarians enjoy the celebrations and the food that
the great castle serves. Ulgris, the king of the castle, has an estate larger
than most provinces. He has a royal line of retainers that are powerful in
their own ways and just as rich and influential. The great king relies on their
expertise and their loyalty. Having great retainers makes a great king. This
cobblestone road was built years ago when the castle was first built. It isn't
much but it is the only road leading to the great Voloisian castle.

A Guard Station
This is the huge iron gate leading toward the great castle of Valois.
Its huge iron frame is dotted with dull knobs to enforce it against battering
rams and lesser assaults. The hinges are secured deep into the brick wall with
thick metal bolts. Huge timbers lean against the wall, used to block the gate
if the kingdom is ever invaded. Two small towers flank the gate, each one
housing a single guard. These provide a constant watch for invaders. Guards
man these gates at all times during the day and night. Intruders have been
caught before trying to sneak their way into the area. Ruffians and shady
people are turned away from the castle. The road continues to the east and
runs toward the massive castle to the north. The castle Valois is protected
at all times with massive forces. It is said to have a large armed force
protecting the gates at all times and even a deadlier squad of warriors inside
warding against assassins. The wind creates a whining sound.

A Winding Cobblestone Road
This road leads straight to the castle of Valois. It is surrounded on all
sides by fields of grass. The grass grows tall and is very green. There are
many birds in flying overhead. The forests to the south are home to some of
the most exotic plants and animals in all of the world. The Valoisians are
a rich people full of rich dreams. They cultivate the land in the surrounding
area for crops and other resources, such as gold and timber. Their city is at
the center of great trade and has a great tactical advantage at war. The high
castle walls of Valois have withstood countless attacks by bands of militants
and barbarians. The high king that sits on its thrown is endowed with the
responsibility of the kingdom's welfare. The king has many enemies but many
more powerful friends. Merchants travel from afar to do business within the
castle walls. The kings powerful retainers do much for the city's welfare,
such as providing troops and arms in time of need. The tall castle walls can
be seen from here to the north. The wind blows, making a whining sound.

Before an Old Tavern
This road is made of old cobblestones and needs to be repaired. The stones
have been here awhile and not been cared for. Weeds and other ferns are
slowly overtaking the road. The tall plains of grass on either side run great
distances before meeting trees or rolling foothills. The foothills are home
to the roaming nomads. These nomads live in tribes and are fiercely protective
of their own. They believe in family, and family means no one gets left
behind or forgotten. To the world they are outsiders, but to them the world is
just the opposite. None one can understand their ways unless they've lived
among them. A nomad life is survivable only if all nomads stick together. The
kingdom of Valois reaches far and wide, but doesn't assert any authority over
the wandering nomads. King Ulgris is a wise and powerful ruler, he is just
and treats everyone with respect. The nomadic people live under his protection
still and it is rumored that he has laid a pact down with them sealed in blood.

An Old Tavern
This tavern has been here for quite some time. It was built along with
other temples and businesses a long time ago when the kingdom was first born.
It was owned by one of the king's retainers but sold. The new owner didn't
take a liking to the business so he employed a manager and gave him a meager
salary to run the place. The place looks run down and not been cared for.
There are old stains on the floor and a small odor. There are a few chairs
missing legs and some very few tables left standing. Perhaps there were a lot
of fights in this pub. The bartender goes about his day solemnly. Despite the
location there aren't a great deal of customers who come here. The king has
even considered closing the place down because it is unsightly and everyone
who visits the kingdom must pass by this place first. This pub has seen better
days. The only exit is to the south. The cooks kitchen is behind the counter.
