Title: Temple Description
Veronna Darkblade - September 6, 2003 11:56 PM (GMT)
As you walk down the streets of Taras you see a three level building made of dark grey and black bricks, just five houses down from the arena, it looks slightly out of place with all the same looking houses around it. As you walk towards the building you can see it is a temple, with it's large pillars about three feet around stretching to the second level, where an outside area attached to the third level began, and from there you see more pillars stretching up until the roof, which is about ten feet tall, and the roof looks quite flat looking, still made of the same bricks as the rest of the temple. From where you stand you can not see how big the temple is.
You walk up the steps that lead under the over hang of the second level, and as you continue, you open one of two large mahogany wooden doors that lead inside, that reach about seven feet tall. As you close the door behind you and the sound echoes through many hall ways. The inside is about the same color as the outside bricks, some a bit lighter in color. You stand in a large hallway that stretches for about one-hundred feet forward and enough room for at least three people to walk side by side, but you also see many smaller hallways branching from the main hall, each only about three feet wide, and one every four feet apart or so.
You keep walking down the hall until the end and you see a spiral staircase going up, and as you look to your left and right you see another hall on both sides of you. You take the one to your right and walk down a hall for a little bit until it opens up into a large round arena about one-hundred feet across, the floor is made of black bricks with silver bricks making circles until the middle where two scimitars crossed with a long sword down the middle, these bricks you note are made of gold. Your attention then goes to another hall branching off from the arena. You walk to the small hall, and you find it is not a hall but a small square room where many weapons on racks line the walls on all sides. You guess anyone is welcome to these weapons for they were not locked up. You see no other hall or room attached to this one, so you turn and walk back to where the stair case is, but as you walk back through the arena you take note that there were about five smaller halls leading into this arena.
You get back to the staircase and go past it, and at the end of the hallway you come into another arena, which is pretty much identical to the other with the exception of the circles being gold and the symbol silver. You see there is another armory but you don't bother to check it out, instead you leave the arena and head to the staircase with intentions of going up them this time. But when you reach them you see an archway behind them and instead of going up the stairs you go through the archway. When you walk through you see it is another hallway but much shorter then the others, and at the end is a mahogany door. You go through the door and you find yourself outside in a courtyard. You take note that the courtyard is only about three hundred feet across both ways and is square. You proceed to the middle of the courtyard and you see there are bushes grown up to make a circle and you can tell it is another arena. You look around to see if there are weapons anywhere, and you see on the walls of the courtyard there are racks with a variety of weapons. You see there is one door on all four walls and the ones to your right and left, you guess, must lead into all the small hallways you saw. You keep going to the other side, avoiding randomly placed bushes (which includes rose and small lilacs) and flower beds. You also see a small tree growing and you can tell it is a willow tree. You reach the other side and go in the door.
Through the door is a small hallway like the one you took to get into the courtyard. You come out of the hall and in front of you is another spiral staircase. Instead of taking the stairs you decide to look around this side of the temple.
(OK, I have drawn some crappy maps of what the temple looks like, though I have not yet got the third floor done. When I drew these I did not have a ruler with me, so they are a little lopsided...)
(I am hoping to get more updates later. (3-4-06))
