The
Foyer
|
|
|
As you enter Moonhaven Manor, your eyes widen; the interior was not what you had expected. The outside was a mass of tumbling runes, but in here, warmth, grandness and a sense of magic greets all your senses.
"Ah, here we are, come in." Shae turns, smiling warmly, her eyes sparkling mischeviously.
"This...is the foyer, the nexus of Moonhaven Manor. From here, you can go anywhere you desire and..." she chuckles, "...some places you may not." She moves to a set of stairs, then turns again to face you.
"Explore the castle if you wish. My friend and other half, Softwynd, is responsible for the existence of my home. Without her, everything...well, it would all be forgotten. Write her a note, telling her what you did or did not like about Moonhave...my magics will see that she gets it."
As Zephyr flits about the foyer, Shae nods towards the fairy. "If you should happen to get lost while looking around, Zephyr will bring you back here to the foyer; that should help you get your bearings again."
Shae ascends the staircase, her voice trailing off. "Oh, by the way, don't be alarmed when you meet my other guests; some of them are quite...different..."
|
|
Zephyr darts around your head; her voice reminding you of a soft, summer breeze. "Well, where do you wish to go?"
|
|
|
|
|
This will take you to the Courtyard, where all the weapons training and making is done. When Shae's brother Ursa visits...this is where he'll be.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These stairs will lead you to the bedrooms and upper living areas. For some reason...adults enjoy it up there...go figure...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pass through the Dining Hall and you will find the Kitchen where Softwynd and others prepare the best food in this land.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the Ballroom. Here you'll find many things animated, including Shae's butler, Bones, who likes to hang out there and show off his latest dance steps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These stairs leads to the Balcony. From there, you can look out over the countryside and admire the scenery.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Over here is the library; a room so vast, no one has yet discovered all its secrets. Be careful of the librarian, Crystalmist, he's very...grumpy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These stairs lead to the Downstairs Corridors. It's horrible and creepy down there, so my advice is to avoid that area all together.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the Grove, you'll learn about spirituality and the magick of life. There, the Green Man will direct you to the knowledge you seek.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These stairs lead up to The Tower. Here you'll find many of Shae's airborne friends...some of which, have no sense of humor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is my favorite place, The Gardens. Enjoy the scenery and maybe you'll find a few of the secret paths that lead to even more magical places.
|

|
|
Down this hall you will find The Galleries. They are undergoing renovation, so we can visit them later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are many more areas to visit; The Sitting Room, The Trophy Room, The Game Room, but they too are under construction. When they are complete, the entryways into them will appear. Until then, let me show you around!
