The second level contains the family rooms: sleeping, dining, and nursery. Trusted friends and servants may reside here. Sentries are usually posted near the central stairwell and others. The Mere - north of Castle Ember Murder Holes - north wall, center, above The Gate Simeon's room - north wall, right bottom His room is rather large, due to his station, but is actually spartan in accomodations; very military. From a peg on the wall hangs a ceremonial sword scabbard, enameled green with gold filigree trim. Ranger Captain's Office - north wall, right tower VIP Quarters - east wall, top WC East - east wall, center Chatellaine's Office - east wall, center tower The Chatellaine's Office is a room filled with maps, charts, and files. A large, teak desk faces the door from the middle of the room. A large, overstuffed chair faces the massive fireplace. This room is decorated in earthy colors; sage greens, burnt yellows, warm browns. There is a painting on the wall that doesn't quite seem to fit. Anyone familiar with Riddyl's work would know it's one of his. Mage's Tower - south wall, right tower The Chapel - south wall, left tower Myste's Suite - west wall, bottom One of the largest suite of rooms, Myste occupies four rooms. Miya's room - west wall, bottom Miya, Myste's personal assistant, was rewarded by the Chatellaine with this luxurious room. Caitlin's room - west wall, center tower Her apartment is formal. Furniture is subdued, but proper for a royal female. There are the requisite nick-nacs and art books placed decoratively around. She is rarely there, except for mandatory state occasions. The closets have a supply of formal and other palace clothing so she can become presentable rapidly. WC West - west wall, center Stable/Servant's Quarters - west wall, top Riddyl's room - west wall, top The room is relatively cramped for a Prince's tastes, and oddly shaped. The view is nothing to speak of since there is no window. A fireplace and many candles throughout, keep it constantly lit. Scattered around are Riddyl's drawings and paintings. More enthusiastic than talented, they show a potential for a Van Gogh-like impressionism. His drawings seem to be organic forms, strange, elegant fusions of mankind and just about anything else. There are no self-portraits. The only mirror is small and tucked away in a corner. A book, a well-worn deck of cards and a sword in scabbard are mixed in (and under) uncompleted canvases and sketches. Servants aren't allowed in this room (and it shows!).
