Approaching the Castle
It was not clear from the edge of the cliffs exactly how large the castle
truly is, as there is nothing on the horizon with which to compare. The walls
of the structure must be blindingly bright in the winter sun, as they are
constructed with brilliant white transluscent stone. If the setting were
different, high on a lush green hillside perhaps, the castle might be a
breathtaking sight. But here, in the grip of the frostmaiden, it prompts one
to pull up the fur against the cold abrasive winter gusts. The only comfort
the sight of the castle provides is the promise of warmth, though one has to
wonder if it might not be warmer, and safer, out here. The road leads
northward onto a bridge, and south to the edge of the Ice Crag Cliffs.

An Arch of Solid Ice Crossing a Strange Moat
A deep blue emanates from inside the arch, somewhere near the center,
pulsing in unison with some unseen heart. The arch itself stems out of the
ice and snow on either side of the moat. Its approximately ten feet thick at
the ends where it attaches to the land, and amazingly enough, only six inches
thick in the middle. The ice is very slippery and it takes a lot of effort
to cross the bridge safely. Below the arch, even though the ground appears
to be flat here, the icy waters of the moat rush past from left to right in a
horrifying torrent of ice and mist. The water is clean and clear, however the
bottom of the moat is not visible. A huge set of double doors can be seen to
the north. The immaculate road leads south towards the edge of the cliffs.

Before the Doors of Ice Crag Castle
The majestic double doors bearing the symbol of Auril are closed and have
no obvious keyhole. The grand doors open towards the bridge presumably for
security purposes. Giant iron pins form the hinges connected directly to the
iron frame work of the door, which in turn is fastened to the stone by smaller
iron shafts driven through the frame and into the wall. The stonework is as
impressive as the walkway that leads up to the castle. Each stone set on the
one below with precision to make sure no ledges are formed which could be used
as hand holds to climb with. The wall rises perhaps thirty feet into the
bleak gray sky above. On each of the two visible corners there are towers
that rise a few floors above the rest of the castle. All around the top of
the castle, waving proudly from parapets of stone, fly banners and flags also
bearing the symbol of Auril, the Frostmaiden.

The Southern End of the Grand Foyer
A morbid grayish-black light descends upon this cavernous room, from a
grotesque bone chandelier, like a fog rolling out of the foothills of the
Spine mountains. The lighting seems backwards, as if the room were already
lit, and the flame was throwing darkness. The chandelier hangs high in the
ceiling above the fountain in the center of the foyer. The floor is a bright
blue, somewhat dulled by the grim lighting, with strange white lines
intersecting at all sorts of geometric angles. The cathedral ceiling rises
all the way to what appears to be the roof of the castle itself. It starts
lower on the sides and rises to a domed zenith where the vile light source
resides. To the north a fountain sits in the center of the room, and to
either side the foyer continues.

The Center of the Grand Foyer
A gigantic circular basin carved out of glacial ice sits flush against the
floor forming the base of a fountain. Within the basin is a hot, thick, blood
red substance that bubbles and steams as it swirls in a violent maelstrom,
pouring into an unseen drain at the bottom of the fountain. The pool is fed
by a constant gush from a wound in one of the figures in the statue. Of the
two figures in the scene, the female is far more powerful a sight. She stands
well over six feet tall, and has the build of a barbarian highlander.
Standing over the fallen male figure, she is wrenching her axe from his
sundered neck. Unlike the basin, the figures are carved from a bluish mineral
rock of some sort, in stark contrast of the gushing red.

oriental in design. What it means or symbolizes is not clear, but it makes
for quite a beautiful sight. A particularly large wall mural dominates the

The giant mural here on the wall to the north, is visible from all parts of
the foyer. Its granduer is staggering up close, but far more impressive is
the detail. The nests of absent animals rest in tree branches, and in the few
places where the ground is visible, there are animal burrows and scatter
underbrush. Footprints trample a path from the far right all the way through
to the gazebo, just visible to the west. Covering the footprints, a light
flurry of snow lies down on the surface of all in sight. To the south and the
west the foyer continues, and to the east is a door accessing the east hall.

enough to allow entrance and egress. The vines wind in and out of the lattice
work, showing how long the gazebo has stood there. The thatch roof is
starting to fray, but the ice sheath that encases everything has ceased the
erosion. To the east and the west the foyer continues, and to the south a

The West Hall
The decorations become more sparse here, as the corner of the hall
approaches. Images turn to abstracts ranging in subject from the castle
itself, to places so fantastic they must lie on another plane. Great halls of
flame and rage, deep chasms that delve far into the belly of the planet, and
mountaintops so high the clouds rest at the mid section. As the corner of the
hall approaches, the air starts to move even faster towards the large vent in
the ceiling. The clouds of torch smoke change from a thick, slow mass, to a
fast moving river of black. The hall runs north and south.
