Ambassador Suites The Nexus had been expanding at an astonishing rate over the past few years and soon it was discovered that more then just friendly trade was going on. Nexus leaders and commoners alike were delving into longterm agreements, marriage rites, even alliances and warfare. The Nexus had become more then just a collection of worlds bound together by the infamous dragon riders. It had grown and blossomed into a new sort of political field. One where its occupants were just beginning to understand how to work on such a grand scale.
At first they stumbled around blindly, making friends here and there and generally relying on the dragon riders to keep the peace. Then it was suggested that a political base was built, giving the fledgling leaders something to stand on. So it was that the Nexus Ambassadors came into being and each world happily went about naming their own and building homes for others.
No expenses were spared in the making of the new Ambassador Suites, for each world desired to keep peace with its neighbours. The Warren was not one to be left out and soon construction began on another wing in Drakmor Castle. The Ambassador's Wing.
Ambassador Wing: The new wing extends from the northern side of Drakmor Castle, done in a simplistic retangular design so that further expansion would be possible in the future. Its halls and lobbies were resplendant in the marble majesty that decorated all of Drakmor, and black-veined columns lined each corridor. Delicate filligre danced along the arching border that gave way to the wing, depicting dragons at play in the untameable wilderness of Tris'Hath. The entrance hall was decorated with a single crimson carpet that lead directly into the suites themselves and countless chairs and couches upon which the weary ambassadors could replenish their energy. The Drakmor kitchen provided all of their meals as well as light snacks throughout the day. Ambassadors needed only to tug a cord attached to a brass bell to call forth a serving hand.
When the wing was first built, only eight rooms were completed. The Warren had many allies, but until there was a greater demand for ambassador accomidations, a small number would suffice. The rooms, however, were far from simplistic, each being of equal size and grandure to keep their occupants satisfied.
Suite 1: Reserved for Kesava. The Aqua room. This room was designed with the airy outdoors in mind. Soft pastels decorate the carpet and bedspread, accented by elven woodcarving and metalwork. A bay window looks out onto the lavish colours of the Drakmor gardens, pale blue silk curtains framing its white borders. The ceiling and walls are done in a similar shade of blue and faint traces of clouds have been worked into the paint. The bed sitting against one wall is low built with a wooden poster at each end. More silk for the sheets, so thin as to be see-through to accomidate the sweltering heat of the Warren's location. A small fountain and pond sits against the opposite wall. Brightly coloured fish swim within its pebbled depths.
Suite 2: The Orange Room. Inspired by the fantastic sunsets that can be seen through its floorlength window. The view of the ocean has always been a point of pride for the occupants of Drakmor, but even more so in this elegant suite. A wash of reds, yellows and golds colours this room from top to bottom, dominated by the orange glow reflected in the Sapphire Ocean's waves. The bed is formed of more elven wood and topped with a light canopy. Silk is, once again, the dominant fabric for the bedspread and curtains, all in a matching orange. An oak desk sits opposite the bed, wide enough to sleep on and probably study enough too. The floor is made of a rich rosewood and covered by a spiraling carpet that resembles the smooth colour change of a sunset.
Suite 3: The Yellow Room. Though still fairly new to the technological scene, the architects of Drakmor attempted to turn this room into a cybergeek's fantasy. Floor, ceiling and walls are a uniform white, but such a prestine highlight pales in comparison to the cheery yellow bed with its smooth curves and the long study table, complete with internet jack (how the internet works on Tris'Hath is anyone's guess). When the room was first opened to admiration, it was assumed that one of the designers had been a Barokian. Only with their input would the room have been fashioned with a smiley face carpet and plexiglass windows. A computer monitor sits on the lemon yellow desk, curved down like the back end of a banana. The consol secreted away in a cabinet beneath the desk is an engineer's dream. It's translucent yellow covering allows the user to look inside at the myraid of wires and boards to literally watch technology at work.
Suite 4: The Pink Room. Among the eight rooms built, this one was the most confusing. None of the designers knew who put it together, only that they could barely stomach the sight of it when it was finished. The pink suite is a little princess' dream. A queen sized bed dominates one wall, resplendant with a billowing pink canopy and high headboard. A thick, shag carpet covers the entire floor, making bunny slippers look fashionable. The window looks out to the ocean with a balcony for any little girl's fantasy of being whisked away by a charming prince. Beanbag chairs dot the far wall, fluffy, pink kittens gamboling happily across their covers. Oversized stuffed animals appear to have taken over the room, and even the bed. They appear stuffed into every nook and cranny, even under the vanity mirror that sits in just the right spot to catch the light of the sun without blinding the onlooker.
Suite 5: The Purple Room. For the royal brat in anyone. This room looks like it was taken from a prince's bedroom in one of the other Tris'Hathian castles. Dark violets adorn the walls, carpet and ceiling and a velvet comforter of the richest hue sits on the end of a king sized bed. Rich ebony wood makes up the bedframe, carved with the intricate detail of elven artists. A throne-like chair sits before a gigantic, oak desk in front of the wide windows. Purple silk curtains tie back to each side of the windowframe, held in place by golden rope. Other bits of gold metalwork decorate the mirror frames and claws on each foot of the bed. Though the bed is more then big enough for ten people, it would be difficult to squeeze more then two on there comfortably given the amount of pillows piled onto the silk sheets.
Suite 6: Reserved for Shard. The Green Room. This room resembles the Aqua Room in its natural coloration and theme. There is, however, a strong influence of the tropics seen in the conical canopy flung around the bed and the lush ferns spread out in a bushy display. A floor length mirror sits in one corner, so surrounded by foliage that its wooden frame is nearly invisible. Whoever designed this room clearly loved the chaotic wilderness surrounding the Warren, seeing as they even went to the length of painting a tree on one wall. The floor is carpetted in a thick, unknown fabric that feels almost like grass and the ceiling is an extension of the tree, including faux branches and even a paper mache boa constrictor wound around one of them. There is a desk hidden somewhere in the room, though finding it under all the plant life might be a task.
Suite 7: The Blue Room. Either the person designing this room was a sailor or just really liked the ocean. Not an inch of this suite is a shade other then blue, including the wooden framework of the bed. Varying shades of the same colour adorn the silk sheets, curtains, rug, and even the windows. A painted glass display set in an arc above the glass panes displays a blue dragon sailing through the night sky above the ocean. A desk against the far wall has been carved in the likeness of waves rising up the legs and around the border. A dolphin springs forth from each rounded corner, their upraised tails pointing towards a blue vase of water roses on the desk. And if that weren't enough, the bed itself is a waterbed.
Suite 8: Reserved for Kat. The Red Room. It's rumoured that the red mage herself had a hand in designing this suite. The colour is certainly to her taste, being dominantly a rich crimson along the walls and ceiling. Gold trimming decorates the rug that spans the length and width of the room, as well as forming the frame for a twin-sized, four poster bed. The head of a roaring dragon rears out from the wall over the headboard, solid gold and polished to a shine. A rosewood table sits directly in front of the double paned windows looking out on the ocean, complete with inkwell and a few thick candles for when the sunlight fades away. A small garden of roses, poinsettas, poppies and other red flowers fills one corner of the room and drips down towards the high-set bed. Fine silk flows over the matress and it appears the only thing holding the flimsy covering sheets in place is a display of red velvet pillows. To top it off, an Eastern style dragon dances across the crimson ceiling in gold filligre.
