Valley Of Darkness
There is a Tutorial page for fighting and spars. There is also a page for the poems that I have made.
Room is full safe zone when owner is not present.
A valley is hidden deep in the mountains away from civilization, it is home to many wild animals and creatures that roam freely untouched by mortal hands. The valley has warm mists that come with the morning dew then fades as the golden sun rises higher into the sky. The valley is surrounded on all sides by high mountain peaks that keep away mortals that are unwelcome. The high snow covered mountain peeks mysteriously keep this valley in a isolated state that seems to make it almost prehistoric and untouched. This magical valley is lost in time with a powerful beauty and will stay that way forever. Within the valley are massive towering trees and extensive caves of limestone, brimstone, and granite that dot the landscape with cave mouths that seem to swallow the light and caverns that stretch for eternity beneath the ground. In the center of the valley is a fresh water lake with rivers that stretch out to the four corners of the valley. At one end of the valley between the lake and the mountains rests a meadow filled with cool grass that is surrounded on all sides by thick forest.
Upon a cliff is a mouth of a small cave with a large black marble and silver door, the door slides open eerily and you see a large room that is the beginning of a large manor. The walls, ceiling, and floor are carved directly out of marble, the blue veins tracing throughout the home. On the left nestled into the corner is a hot spring filled with steaming water, on the water floating are red and black rose petals making a sweet alluring scent sweeping through the room. Above the steaming water is a transparent light flowing and twisting over the water, slowly building into one spot and then slowly breaking apart flowing slowly twisting into itself never leaving the space above the steaming water. Directly in front of you on the wall is a massive tapestry, it is black until you stare at it for a few moments. The tapestry shimmers and then slowly forms into an image of a elven village that is alit with large roaring flames, a massive black dragon stands in the middle of the village roaring his dominance. The dragons golden eyes scan the devestated village, seeing that all of the villagers are either dead or hiding. There are gashs covering the dragon from a battle, though few were able to pierce his thick black scales. The dragon roars one last time, a challenge to those that wish to harm him before lifting up with a flash of wings. Vanishing suddenly into the dark skies overhead. The tapestry blinks going dormant and you have a eerie feeling of a wild magical power sweeping through the manor that makes the hair at the nape of your neck stand on end. Scattered along the walls are small doors that lead into small circular alcoves about 10 feet in width, in the center of the alcoves are small round tables and a long couch that curls along the walls to each side of the door. To the left of the tapestry is a large set of stairs that spiral up into the ceiling and lead to a second floor to the manor that is where most of the specific rooms would be.
The room is large as you look to the right of the tapestry smelling warm sweet food and drink. There is a large recessed servery that has a massive fireplace with metal clasps to set pots and pans, the fine smooth shining oak counters gleam gently in the dancing firelight. The sweet scent of cooked meats and breads surround you bathing in the peaceful aroma that makes this place feel warm and welcoming. A tall thick silver door with a large handle rests in the back of the servery. Within is the cooler where all types and cuts of meats ranging from steaks, tenderloins, haunchs, shoulders to large sides of ribs where all are placed neatly on forzen shelves. Outside the cooler against the wall is a large smooth ceder cabinet filled with all types and makes of bottles; botas, bowls, chalices, drinking horns, glasses, goblets, jars, kantharos, kraters, kylixs, mugs, and hydrias of all types and sizes. On the opposite wall set in racks are large polished oak barrels labeled with every type of drink ranging from absinthe, ale, beer, blood wine, everclear, gin, juice, red wine, tea, vodka, whiskey, white wine, and water.
To the right of the servery near the wall is a large polished oak door with a sign above it reading "Baths", inside is a large room with a single massive bath sunk into the floor. The bath is 7 feet long, four feet wide, and four feet deep in the center while only two feet deep at the ends. Floating in the steamy water are various petals of exotic flowers that fill the room with sweet smelling scent that mingle together giving anyone who enters a hazey relaxing feeling wash over them. Above the bath is a thin transparent light like that out in the hall over the hottub, it pulses softly with the warm sweet scent of the exotic flowers and shimmers over the water slowly building together then breaking apart moving with the air but never leaving the area above the bath. Along one wall is a floor length mirror, spanning the entire length of the wall. Off to the side is a single toilet made of polished porcelain, next to that is a large sink with a silver faucet and knobs for hot and cold water.
At the top of the polished oak stairs is a short hallway, there are 3 large oak doors on each side of the hallway. At the very end of the hallway is another door, it is a massive set of silver doors similar in size to the ones at the entrance of the manor.
In the first door on the left is a large room shrouded in shadows, it is lit faintly with torchs that glow with a faint white fire illuminating the room. On the left side of the door is a door, from the door emanates the soft seductive scent of roses and strawberrys. Clearly marking it as the bathroom for the lord of the manor. In the center of the room in a large four poster bed, the silk black drapes hang down from the posters shrouding the bed in thick shadows. The bed is swept over with large dark red blankets and large dark red pillows filled with soft downy feathers. At the opposite side of the door is a large balcony with a wrought iron rail that opens up to a stunning view of snowy mountain peaks. The snow covered peaks have a false sense of coldness, for the warm mists sweep through the forest in the morning and evening.
In the first door on the right is a large garden with every type of flower you could think of black and red roses, buttercups, lady slippers, lilies, lotuses, snapdragons, tulips, passion flowers, and ferns surrounding beautiful bushs of sweet smelling herbs. Outside these patchs of flowers surrounding the herb bushs are small pathways of pale white stone that soon give way to a lush green grass. The lush grass leads to a stream that cuts across the room, near the left end of the stream is a small water fall with a fine mist rising into the air watering all the exotic plants. On the right end in a pool of water with varying depths and temptures with small mammals and fish swimming gracefully through the water, small birds chirp and flitter through the bushs and everyone is normal once more. A shadow moves on the other side of the stream and there is a brief flashof black fur and a large black panther slides back into the shadows and vanishs.
Within the second door on the right is a large shadowed room with large black candles burning with a weird ice blue flame set on small metal stands that rise up about head height out of the walls. The ice blue flame of the candles flicker slowly as they cast shadows about the weapons of war held in the room. Set into the walls on large hooks are all types and makes of weapons starting with arbalests, arquebus, axes, battle axes, blow guns, bokkens, bombards, bows, broadswords, claymores, clubs, crossbows, cutlasses, daggers, dirks, flameberges, halberds, hook swords, kamas, kaskaras, katanas, kens, kodachis, kopis, lances, lockaber axes, longbows, longswords, maces, morningstars, nagamakis, nodachis, pikes, quarterstaffs, rapiers, rondels, sabres, sais, scimitars, shortswords, spears, tantos, throwing axes, wakizashis, and war hammers. All the weapons are lightly oiled and the razor sharp edges gleam in the flickering candle light showing a slight blue glow to all the weapons of mithril and steel. In a circle are large leather chairs facing inward towards a particular pair of mithril katanas, one is a shimmering silver with sparks of icey blue light dancing along the razor edges. The other is a pure black katana that seems to suck in the light, the blades are set down into a smooth polished oak stand. The light surrounding the swords gleam with a dim blood red glow casting red shadows about the room past the circle of black chairs.
Inside the second door on the left is a large room with the walls covered in large rows of shelves filled with large leather bound books that gleam in the faint candle light. Across the room is a large fireplace where the sweet smell of burning ceder fills the room with flickering light. Near the fireplace is a large black leather chair with a small table next to it, on the table is a oil lamp filled with a sweet smelling black oil. Upon the shelves are various books by the odd but memorable names of "Go Rin No Sho", "The Vampire Codex", and "Darklove".
The third doors on the right and left are identical, it is a mostly bare room except for a large bed in the center of the room covered in thick black blankets and large dark red pillows. Across from the bed is a large fireplace where wood crackles and pops softly with the flicking flames keeping the room comfortably warm. At each corner of the bed is a silver ring hidden in a small compartment. There is no outside balcony, only the door to the room and a closet filled with many diffrent types of men's and woman's clothing.
