Northern Guard's Walk, West Wall
Large openings, covered by steel hatches, run the length of the outer wall
in this section of the guard's walk. This is the western wall of the castle,
and faces the most threat, next to the front wall, from assault. Most of the
hatches are closed but a few are open to allow for air flow. Along the base
of the outer wall, jugs are lined as far as the eye can see. The corridor is
wide, but has a low ceiling which gives it a cramped feeling. Numerous torch
sconces light the way through the hall and leave not one shadow to lurk in.
There is a path in the center of the hall worn dull by so many feet walking it
over and over. The walls are flat stone as is the ceiling, and both are
remarkably unremarkable. The hall continues north and south.

The Western End of the West Hall
This hall is like the east hall, in that it shows the visual history of the
castle and its army. Most of the images in this section are of a terrible
battle at the edge of the world. This scene takes place in an icy vale
between two great mountain peaks. Huge white winged dragons swoop down from
the mountain tops bearing fearless highlanders into bloody battle.
Empty suits of armor, placed on a standing rack elegantly serve as torch
holders, and give a sense of majesty to the hall. The empty suits hold a
torch in one hand, and a flag staff in the other. The ceiling is very high
here, and banners hang down, leaving little room to swing a sword. The hall
runs east and an iron door leads west while a wooden door leads north.

The West Hall
Most of the images here are of a terrible battle at the edge of the world.
Nothing but vast wastelands of ice and snow are depicted, covered in bodies
both dead and alive, and a few in between. A small blue figure stands in the
center of it all, apparently grappling with a sorceror judging from the
flaring lights and shrouds of flame surrounding him. The numerically superior
forces of one side, dressed in blue, seem to be gaining the edge over the
others but victory is not yet at hand. Up above the main battlefield, a few
of the white forces stand together in a circle, weaving runes and casting a
powerful spell if the size of the black monster above them is any indication.

The West Hall
A twelve foot tapestry depicting a battle covers the northern wall,
but the conflict displayed is not human. High in an icy pass, atop a
small ledge, two adult white dragons begin their courtship ritual.
Legend has it, the male must subdue the female by slapping his wings
against her in an effort to force her cooperation. She is quite resistant,
and has gotten hold of his neck. Hot blood drips down his back, and freezes
on the snow below. In the end the male will triumph, and the wound is on
ly superficial. The resistance is only to convince the male that she
will bear strong young. He is so confident, he has built his ice cave
for the eggs already, the entrance is just below the ledge. The hall
runs east and west, while a door leads north.

A Corner In the West Hall
The east/west and north/south sections of the west hall meet here. The
lavish wall decorations cease here, and the walls remain empty. The floor
here is flat and smooth, cut from large pieces of stone that must have been
mined locally as there is no way they could have been carried very far. The
ambient light is pleasantly bright and if the surrounding imaes weren't so
violent, it might almost seem cheery. Empty suits of armor, placed on a
standing rack elegantly serve as torch holders, and give a sense of majesty to

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.

A giant white fur covered throne is depicted here in a mural, and a

people. Men and women alike, vye for her attention, like peasants pleading
with an indifferent king. Her air of impunity and arrogance makes it all the
more frustrating for them. The air moves swiftly here, carrying away the
billowing clouds of pitch smoke that rise from the torches. A long black line
runs down the ceiling, marking the well traveled path of the smoke and soot.
The hall runs north and south, while the Grand Foyer is accessible through a
door in the east wall. An arched portal leads to the west, into the Court of
the Icess.

The Guards Observatory
From this vantage point, with the aid of the barred window in the door, the
guards can screen everyone entering the castle through the main gate. The
room is furnished only with several torch sconces and a water barrel in one
corner. There is a stool next to the door, however it looks rather
uncomfortable. The ceiling here is lower than normal giving the room a
cramped feeling. A long hallway leads west, and the Grand Foyer is accessible
to the east through a door. There is a second door in the north wall.

The Northwestern Corner of the Grand Foyer
A magnificent wall mural takes up the entire northern wall from top to
bottom, and stretches across the foyer to the east. It depicts a what appears
to be a frozen rain forest. Gothic benches of iron, and sculpted ice thrones
lie throughout the scene. A sculpture of a young woman stands in the center,
with something at her feet but the foliage blocks the view. She seems to be
gazing up, past the castle walls, towards a point in the sky only she can
identify. Off to the east, a small wooden gazebo can be seen amidst the
foliage. To the south and the east the foyer continues, and to the west is a

lichens. A small area surrounding the gazebo has been cleared, but just
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 Northeastern Corner of the Court of the Icess
This is the Court of the Icess. At the north end of this court sits her
throne, where she spends very little time these days. The ceiling here is
higher than average, but not cathedral proportions. Ambient light is provided
from a white hot flame atop an onyx pedestal in the center of the court. The
floor here is devoid of symbols unlike most of the castle. The walls however
do have banners bearing the symbol of Auril, but they are smaller than others
in the castle. It is apparent that this room is dedicated to someone other
than the goddess Auril. The court continues to the west and south. A door

torch holders, and give a sense of majesty to the hall. The empty suits hold
a torch in one hand, and a flag staff in the other. The ceiling is very high
here, and banners hang down, leaving little room to swing a sword. The hall
runs north and an iron door leads south.

The West Hall
A giant white fur covered throne is depicted here in a mural, and a
powerful looking woman sits comfortably in it before a grand court full of
people. Men and women alike, vye for her attention, like peasants pleading
with an indifferent king. Her air of impunity and arrogance makes it all the
more frustrating for them. The air moves swiftly here, carrying away the
billowing clouds of pitch smoke that rise from the torches. A long black line
runs down the ceiling, marking the well traveled path of the smoke and soot.
The hall runs north and south, while the Grand Foyer is accessible through a
door in the east wall. An arched portal leads to the west, into the Court of
the Icess.
Obvious exits: -North -East -South -West
A few drops of fresh blood are scattered around the area.

The Northeastern Corner of the Court of the Icess
This is the Court of the Icess. At the north end of this court sits her
throne, where she spends very little time these days. The ceiling here is
higher than average, but not cathedral proportions. Ambient light is provided
from a white hot flame atop an onyx pedestal in the center of the court. The
floor here is devoid of symbols unlike most of the castle. The walls however
do have banners bearing the symbol of Auril, but they are smaller than others
in the castle. It is apparent that this room is dedicated to someone other
than the goddess Auril. The court continues to the west and south. A door
leads to the north, and an arched portal leads east to the West Hall.

A Malevolent Pedestal in the Court of the Icess
Evil emanates from this pedestal in massive waves that are so powerful,
they are almost visible. A feeling of pure terror hangs in the air
proclaiming its presence with authority. The white hot flame, changes color
periodically, changing from bright white through all the shades of gray, and
finally to black. It stays in each color for only a second, and then fades
to a new one. Nothing else is here, only the pedestal and the mesmerizing
flame.

The Northwestern Corner of the Court of the Icess
The throne is not visible from this corner of the court, but the onyx
pedastal shines with a darkness just to the east. Pillars of limestone
support the ceiling, though they look more like decoration than structure.
Carved textures and runic symbols run up and down them like bark on a tree.
The ceiling is stark white with tiny black spots peppered all over. A frigid
chill rolls in from the north, evidently that room is quite cold. There is a
door to the north, and the court continues to the east and south.
