[Location] Scorpion Hall

Scorpion Hall
Image
Forum This Location Appears In: Scalvoris Town
IC / RPG Forums where these NPCs / Flora / Fauna may be used in RP: All NPCs are personal to Woe and will need PC permission to use.


Just inside the bay of Scalvoris Town, across a mile of open water, there sits a house upon an islet of stone. It is unremarkable from a distance, though can be spotted readily enough from the Scalvorian docks if an observer knows what to look for, and rarely do ships pass close to it. There seems always to be a shadow across the rock, less from the weather and more from its reputation. This is Scorpion Hall, home to the rogue son of Sintra and the people he has gathered around him.

Austere from the outside, the islet's base has just enough sandy shore for a rowboat to dock, and then a modest stairway to a door hewn in the rock itself. Behind that door, there are 346 more steps to get up to the house itself. Visitors are greeted by a spacious atrium, often used as a weapons training room but fully capable of being converted to a ballroom if the occasion calls for it. Though the rooms throughout the Hall are decorated to each occupant's individual tastes, there is a luxurious functionality to every item, where comfort and opulence strike a perfect balance.

Through the spire itself wends a network of caves and passages: the dragonling's cave, Woe's isolation retreat, the grotto of his son, Toutouye. Harder to find, but no less important, these areas are more difficult to access for those outside of Woe's family.

Huge Room: The Atrium, which can serve multi-functions, including banquet hall, ballroom, etc. depending on furnishings.

Re: [Location] Scorpion Hall

The Atrium
Image
The Atrium is the main entrance space of Scorpion Hall. Taller than it is wide, its vaulted ceilings are supported by columns which disappear into shadow. The doors on the first floor lead to communal areas: kitchen, family dining room, living room, washroom. A grand staircase leads to the upper galleries, primarily the bedrooms of Woe and his family. Above the staircase hangs a portrait of a black spirit dog, Breen, its painted eyes watchful to every stranger who steps through the front door.

Depending on the furniture, the atrium can serve as a banquet hall, ballroom, or any other stage to host a large event. Whenever the house is in normal operation, the atrium usually serves as a simple gymnasium and training hall. Wooden weapons and training dummies are neatly stacked along the walls, with open space at the center to spar. Ranged weapons are not practiced, in case someone walks in from an unexpected door. The stone floor bears faint scuffs from years of sparring, and chalk lines are sometimes drawn to mark footwork drills.

When arranged for formal events, the atrium transforms completely. Long banquet tables replace the practice floor, runners are laid across the stone, and the weapon racks vanish into hidden storage rooms. Braziers and lanterns are hung from iron hooks along the columns, casting warm light that turns the training hall into something resembling a noble court. In those moments, the atrium becomes the heart of the household’s public face. Guests arriving through the front doors are greeted by light, music, and the looming presence of Breen above the staircase. Yet even at its most celebratory, the room never quite forgets its other purpose: the cleared center, the broad sightlines, and the sturdy stone floor all reminders that the hall where people now dance is the same place where the master of the house is most accustomed to combat.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

Re: [Location] Scorpion Hall

Jinyel's Quarters
Image
A sprawling bedroom in the family home of Woe Morandi. Though it took more than a cycle of adjustment for Jinyel to grow comfortable, he has settled into this place as a permanent shelter which he doesn't have to carry with him. The shelves grow more crowded with each passing season, the chests heavier, the walls more decorated. For the first time in his life, Jinyel has a place to keep the many treasures he has come across, and his chambers are as much museum and armory as they are a bedroom. The half-canopy bed is accompanied by a plethora of well-made furniture, ranging from the desk and shelves to low tables and upholstered chairs for entertaining visitors. A large fireplace provides enough light to read by in the dark hours, and when Jinyel is home, that fireplace is occupied by his companion fire Anak, Littlespark. The armor stand in one corner is also changed by Jinyel's presence, host to his ziemia-scale plate armor every time he unpacks.

A modest balcony extends from the room, large enough for three people to comfortably observe the sunset. It overlooks a two hundred foot plunge into the ocean, and is an ideal landing and take-off point for anyone with wings to fly.

Re: [Location] Scorpion Hall

Master Bathroom
Image
The master bathroom is an interconnected cluster of chambers and closets, each with varying degrees of luxury. Carved from the cliffstone, these walls have a tendency to echo every movement between them, though this is somewhat softened by the constant splash of fountaining water. Small windows are found close to the ceilings, but those are more to vent steam and heat than to let in light. Lanterns are posted innocuously in the corners of each room, alongside incense burners for when a bath takes on a more meditative purpose.

The supplies are plentiful and high-quality ― towels, candles, soaps and oils, even dried herbs of various medicinal values. Each pool is sunken into the floor, and at its base is a drain which empties from the side of the rocky spire and into the ocean. The windows near the ceiling can be opened or shuttered to keep in heat or to let it out, however is required, and the chill of the ocean wind never seems to quite reach this place.
