Outside Redferne's Residence~
|
|
A huge cloud forms the plateau on which you are now standing. The
|
|
wind here is absolutely quiet and the sun is shining warmly upon you.
|
|
From under the cloud you can hear the faint sounds of Midgaard. Right
|
|
before you to the north lies the grand Mansion of Naris.

The Southern End Of The Hall~
|
|
You are standing in a vast hall that is dimly lit, but wherever the
|
|
light comes from, is a mystery. The walls seem to radiate warmth and
|
|
give the pleasent feeling of being welcome here. A large portrait is
|
|
hanging on one of the walls. A large wooden staircase leads up into
|
|
the tower. To the east there is a high passage away from the hall.
|
|
This ends shortly after by a tall oak door. The enormous hall extends
|
|
further north from here. To the south you can see a huge, and VERY
|
|
heavy-looking iron-wrought door. It looks like this is the only exit
|
|
from this magnificent old house.

This is truly a magnificent place! Books and scrolls lie together
|

on every shelf. A large globe, with the map of the world upon it,
|
|
stands in the dimly lit north-western corner of the room. Two large
|
|
and comfortable looking leather armchairs adorn the center of the
|
|
library together with a huge oak desk. Dim light radiates from an
|
|
enormous crystal chandelier hanging down from the ceiling approximately
|
|
10 feet off the floor. To the east there is a great old ashen door. A
|
|
large glass window is set in the west wall.

The Northern End Of The Hall~

You are standing in the northern end of the huge hall. This part is
|
|
under the grand wooden staircase so the light seems to be a little less
|
|
bright here, but this doesn't affect your sight at all. To the north
|
|
lies the kitchen. To the south lies the southern end of the hall. To
|
|
the east there is a huge metal door. To the west there is a large
|
|
aspenwood door.

The Chain Where It Is Too Windy~

for you. Otherwise you would risk death by falling to the hard ground

On The Great Chain Of Naris~

The Chain~

As you descend, the chain seems to absorb all weather around it, making

it swing less and less in the very powerful wind tearing at it. The Chain

|
seems to chuckle quietly, and as you descend further you hear a soft whisper
|
|
originating from within the Chain *ITSELF*. It says 'Welcome back some
|
|
other time, stranger. Your company is always... hmmm... interesting. God
|

Speed.' The chain extends further down through the now spreading clouds.
