Description

A tall wrought iron gate opens into lush garden surrounded by a row of massive columns set in a Grecian style that lead to an open pavilion encircled with more columns and a Grecian style home. Surrounding a languid looking naturally heated spring pool, exotic couches and torches light the area, casting shadows and shapes that play with the mind. The sheer, broad, dark red and black curtains dance in the shallow breeze as the flames from the wide-basined torch holders shine through, as the exotic scent of hibiscus flowers and amber drift over the surrounding area.

The sharp contrast of the white marble looks very much majestic, emerald vines crawl their way up over the stout columns as a faint eerie hiss echoes from shadow to shadow, breaking through the serenity. The glint of large broad rectangular blades and imposing frames of unnatural and eerie looking sentries seem to stand out in every corner. Another wrought iron gate is seen in front of a heavy-set door into which ancient looking runes are crudely carved, but an unseen barrier prevents any further access, though the iron gates hang open in invitation.

There is also a set of heavy twin doors, towering at forty feet in height opposite the pathway into the pavilion. The iron wood is reinforced with wide, thick mithril plate bars that have been stained black with age and blood. The doors are decorated with scenes of battle, while two statues of giant wolves are posed leaping forward on either side of them. Burning eyes of hate stare, growling in silence. Though there is nothing seen around these doors, they seem to lead to another opposing realm.

A sign hangs over the entrance stating: "This place belongs to Sireen & Draugluin."
