%B%1A small private bedroom%0~
Dominating the center of this small bedroom is a large bed covered with
satin sheets of the softest brown shade imaginable. The bed rests in the
center of this elegantly furnished room which contains a nightstand, a
softly glowing lamp, and features papered walls of pink roses on a white
ivory background, thousands upon thousands of them scattered over the
surface. The wooden parquet floor is laid over with a rich red carpet
imported from Aria. A mirror over the ceiling reflects an overhead view.

%2A private parlor%0~
You recline upon a soft leather sofa loveseat facing a small, cozy fire in
a brick fireplace. This entire parlor you are in is decorated in soft tones
of off-white and subdued greens. The polished wood furniture looks quite
expensive, and you see that the vine motif of the white wall-paper is em-
bossed with gold foil. Green cushions on the white leather sofa you recline
on complete the scheme, while portraits of various immortals line the walls.

While most of the frozen corpses are hardly distinguishable from the snow

eyes stare emptily back at you from beneath frost-furrowed brows. You

Let plaintiff and defendant be truthful,

Remember, too, that the ruling immort's decision is to be respected.

This large room is lit from above by a soft white glow of no particular
origin. Arranged about the polished floor of silver-streaked white marble
are a number of cushy sofas and loveseats provided for the comfort of the
immortals of Aurealis. Attentive servants move about catering to every
whim. Wide spiral stairs laid over with rich red carpeting lead down.

You find yourself floating in viscous ether. As you try to move, you realize
that there is no gravity here either, so you are pretty much stuck in your
position. As you look around, you see several posters in the corner as well as
a huge computer screen on the ceiling. Suddenly, you hear noises, this must be
Freebie's personal cooking and cleaning robot, which would explain the extreme
tidiness of this room. The bot offers you a drink and asks you to wait until
Freebie comes back from his classes.

%B%3The room of the Quest%0~
The floor of this room is a vast, solid block of black marble streaked
through with gold veins and flecks. The same stone material makes up
the walls, except much of it is covered by richly embroidered hanging
tapestries. In the center of the room is an enormous table of lacquered
cherrywood, upon which can be seen many papers held down by gold weights.
~

tapestries hangings~
They are of the richest fabrics, beautifully embroidered, preserved
in pristine condition by some divine magic. Each depicts the exploits
of worthy mortal heroes of Aurealis. There is Clandal Lightwalker,
he who dared to steal Vall's shoes, and when caught by the Great One,
went unpunished, so great was his ability to make others laugh. Across
from him is Orindul Hammertouch, mighty dwarven warrior who gave his
life defending his home while his brethren escaped. He held the army
of invading orcs off for an entire night - sundown to sunrise - by
chaining himself to a tunnel bulwark and facing them one by one...
Clandal is depicted in the act of hurrying away with Vall's shoes.
Orindul is shown with his hammer buried in the skull of a dead orc,
armor and body cut through with great gashes, a pile of bodies about him.
~
E
weights paperweights~
The paperweights holding down the Quest notes weigh about a five pounds
each, and each is a golden miniature of a hero or heroine of Aurealis.
There's thin Clandal, short and squat Orindul, buxom and dangerous
Nera Njalsdottir - the paladin who rode always rode into battle atop
her trusty unicorn companion, Ranthil... More heroes, some also depicted
in the tapestries around... All worthy of glory. Even Errit Darkhelm,
the Dark Knight of Ghenna, who is said to have a new servant each week
because the previous would always be found dead and drained of blood...
He earned the rank for killing the ki-rin, Sunglory.

You enter a large, spacious art studio, larger even than the board room
to the north. The floor is of silver-streaked white marble, but not in as
pristine a condition - unpolished, marked with gouges, splattered with
clay and paint, and littered all over with painting and sculpture supplies
and works half-finished. A few old couches and chairs are scattered around
a central fireplace and a corkwood bulletin board behind it.

You are in a huge room, but not like any room you have seen before.
The wall, floor, and ceiling are all constantly changing color, shape,

The only constant thing you see about this room is a huge couch
with fractal like images all over it. And upon the couch sits a
Cheshire cat, who, like the room is fading in and out of reality.
SUDDENLY you find yourself upside down! You are totally confused!

Stay a while, good friend, and sort your feelings. Find solace here from a
harsh world. But don't stay for too long, you have dreams to pursue.

A Cozy Tavern~
A blazing fire in the fireplace warms this pleasant little tavern. Large
wooden tables stained from years of use are scattered about, and the
worn hardwood floor tells the story of this building's popularity. The
hearty smell of the stew cooking fills the nostrils, and makes the mouth
water. Clinking of glasses can be heard and tavern wenches scuttle around
the room taking care of the patrons. In a corner by the fireplace rests
a beautifully crafted mandolin, aching to be picked up and caressed by
the skilled fingers of a master bard. Sit down, have the barkeep draw
a cold mug of ale for you, and listen to the ballads of ages past, and
times to come.

tapestries tapestry~
Graceful hunting scenes of mounted hunters in elegant finery and swift,
lean hounds on the chase. One tapestry focuses on the hounds... Long,
floppy ears, alert eyes, keen noses, and a long and lean body made for
running. Primary coloration is white.
Another focuses on the hunters and their horses, elegantly dressed
lords and ladies, equipped with beautifully decorated tack and weapons.
The lords appear fierce and determined, the ladies in a more convivial
mood...
The prey, a sleek red fox, appears in another tapestry. Cunning and
elusive, she manages to avoid them all.
Finally, the largest tapestry depicts all of the participants in the
hunt. All moving swiftly and even the fox seems to be enjoying herself...
These tapestries are by Arianne Brightsong.

The wind swoops down, lifts you off your feet and carries you
off across the realms. Your feet skip over the treetops and
your toes touch the mountain peaks as the winds dance wildly
over the lands. Lilac and jasmine scented breezes float past
with bits of leaves and flower petals caught, like you, in the
playful zephyrs. Storm clouds build over the east and a gust
of cold moist air sends you back earthbound once more.

%4A secluded chamber%0~
%4All about you are shadows. It seems everything in this very room is
cloaked in shadow, or made of shadow, or hidden by shadow. Your eye
catches movement upon movement, yet nothing seems quite visible, as
if the darkness were being seen moving against more darkness. There
is a soft wind that whispers through the room every so often, and in
its wake, scrolls appear on a tiny table in the center of the room,
shadowy and indistinct. There appears to be some form of dark throne
in the center of the room, next to the table, but it too seems
formed of only barely solidified shadow, like everything else here.%0

shadow shadows~
%7The shadows seem to be misty representations of things one would normally
find in the world: Objects, people, even other places can be seen in the
shapes that form and disappear, as though an uncertain sculptor sought to
unleash his imagination upon a room full of roiling gray thunderclouds.%0

A comfortable place~
To the north, a large bay window looks out over a forested clearing.
The window seat looks most comfortable, padded with soft pillows to
sit on and lean against. The pillows are a dark forest green with gold
cording and tassels. On the floor of the room is a thick green carpet
that invites you to wiggle your toes in its lushness. In the main
area of the room, several overstuff chairs and tables stand. There is
a brass lamp on each table, glowing gently. On every available bit of
wallspace, dark wooden bookcases stand, from floor to ceiling filled
with gleaming leather bound treasures.

Alpha Numairi~
The formerly dark star in the sky seems to glow with a new passion, much
like its owner. Where blackness once reigned, blending in with the skies
about it, a beaming red shoots out in all directions from the surface
beneath you. The star is abnormally solid; you have no problem walking
about it. The heat is almost overwhelming, but something seems to protect
you, allowing you to survive. The material that the star is made from
has formed a lump to the east, forming a small palace. A tunnel beneath
you leads into absolute darkness, blocked by a grate forged in deadly
fire.

A special thanks go out to:
-- Mouseglove and Lorbache, who have helped me return to the Realms after
my absence and to find a working persona once again.
-- All the others who have helped me learn
-- Cyng, Mouseglove, and Katya, for always being there for me and always
being able to cheer me up whenever I'm feelin down.. hope I can return
the favor...
-- Lorbache, who showed me the fear of finding a mind too much like
your own, and for re-inspiring the fiery passion inside me.
-- And to all whose friendship has made RoA be not only enjoyable but
wonderful for me.
My greatest thanks to all of you, even those I may have forgot *sheepish

The fringe of the realms~
Chilling, icy wind pierces through your skin and face as you stand
at the edge of the realms. Everything is still and motionless here,
violating the classic laws of matter. Everything, except your little
heart, which is poping up and down violently, involuntarily, at the
unknown darkness. One step, one step is all it takes, will drop you
into an eternal darkness. Near the edge, there is a tiny sign, silently
posted by someone at some instance of time.

%2Lorbache's%0 Chambers~
%2This large thin crystalline-walled chamber is lined with huge
bookcases filled with books on all matters from around the realms.
Tall windows look out upon a lush grove of forestry, alluding that
this place is well hidden from the rest of the realm, yet within its
heart. A large desk rests in the center of the southern wall, and a
tall onyx birdstand rests next to it. A comfortable couch rests to
the western side of the desk, a blanket and book lay haphazard
upon its cushions. The eastern window has a large bayseat, on
which rests another book, and through which a soft breeze issues
forth. In the northern corner there rests a large working of what
looks to be some sort of lab table for experimentation.

%3A dank, earthen cavern%0~
This cavern smells strongly of loam and natural decay, and seems very moist
and warm. No light can be seen here, save for a dim glow coming from an odd
species of lichen upon the walls. Shambling creatures, resembling some type
of zombie, shamble around, moving earth from here to there, smashing rock,
and continually widening the cavern as it falls in upon itself.

A Tear in Time~
As you enter this room you feel a strange shearing force around you as
reality tears itself in half. Almost instantly, everything is replaced
by a strange blue light in which all sorts of odd objects float freely.
Looking around, you see all sorts of instruments used for the measurement
of time. Each one has been frozen in place by some enormous magical force
that can stop even time itself. There are no exits from this room.

A formal office~
Cylindrical walls enclose a tastefully decorated office. The walls are
panelled with stained oak; engaged columns made of similar oak and inlaid
with mahogany and ebony are spaced regularly around the walls. Centered
between the columns are pieces of artwork by Escher, a brass plaque with a
short inscription, and a window that faces west. Outside that window is a
boiling gray cloud of indefinite composition, a view of unsolidified reality.
A semicircular desk made of one solid piece of mahogany stands before the
window. A throne-like leather chair and two smaller visitors' chairs are
arranged around the desk. A wide niche in the wall contains a spiral
staircase that leads to other parts of the estate. Two tall, imposing oaken
doors with prominent polished brass fittings provide egress to the east.

%4A private library%0~
%4This room is testimony to how many books can be packed into one
confined space. Every wall is covered from floor to ceiling and then
some with tomes and manuals representing the combined knowledge known
to human, elven, orc, ogre, drakyn, drow and ixish-kind, and even some
things that are as yet unknown to any save the keeper of this place.
There is a large table in the center of the room, with a lone chair,
high-backed and lightly padded, sitting before it. The table is
covered with several tomes open to various pages, and many items,
most of which you cannot identify, but are surely magical and quite rare.%0

You stand within a spacious office, done in fine, dark mahagony and plush

leading to places unknown. A small, rectangular table sits in the center
of the room, surrounded by several wooden, high-backed chairs, each with
cushions of crushed %1crimson%0 velvet upon them. One appears slightly more
comfortable than the others, clearly the seat of power for the owner of
this office. The rest of the walls are lined with books, works of art,
tapestries and paintings, all depicting various facets of life in the mortal
world. The entire atmosphere here is one of seclusion, comfort and peace.

A ring of tall trees grows here, their massive trunks forming a solid wall

towards a small, well-lit chamber.. The entire glade has a peaceful, easy

Glass encased items stretch out before you, each piece of equipment radiating
power so great, that mere words fail to adequately describe it. Large glow-
bulbs dangle on thread-like fiber hanging from the translucent, domed ceiling
and provide heavenly light for all who enter this area. Underfoot, each of
the mortals flicker into view for a moment, then are quickly replaced by the
next, in a seemingly unending barrage of flashes.

You want to run forever! Play past suppertime and the sun goes down. Climb
the tallest tree, swimm till your lips are blue and then swim some more.
Laugh till it hurts and tears stream down your face. You are in the
Playgrounds of Heaven! In every direction you look you see children playing.
There are groups playing tag, hide and seek, pretend, there are childern
climbing trees, playing on monkey bars and teeter-toters, going around the
merry-go-round faster than the sun. All have fun in the Playgrounds of Heaven.

of soft cushiony material with a joyous bounce, you can't decide if you want to
curl up with a blanket and sleep like a baby or jump to the stars with shrieks
of delight! You notice several mobiles hanging from the ceiling made of many-
