Floor 2, Dining Room

 Dining Room

It's a giant open floor plan and not as well lit as the Great White Hall is adjoins. Guarded by two oriental dragon windows, the room is divided into two sections. On the left side are three pillars decorated with large broadswords and shields. There are two twenty foot golem statues against the wall, and long flowy tapestries of Lord Azzur pinned to the walls beside them. These three pillars hold up a heavy wooden ceiling full of fancy beams. The theme is all stone, and stone that's in the least bit exciting. Torches line the walls giving the left side a dark ambient feeling of a dungeon.

On the right is where the extra long dining table sits. There is also a staircase against the wall behind it that veers up to a walkway, and a rather useless one and that, as it appears to serve no purpose. The dining table can seat up to twenty people, and has a throne like chair at the end of it obviously where Azzur might sit. The tabletop is all mirror, and above it reflects Turkish lamps of various colors. The most magnificent thing though of the entire room is the main wall on the right, it's made entirely out of iron lattice and lets in the air outside. On the railing of the useless walkway are heavy brazen incense burners along the balustrade most likely burning granular Dragon's Blood or myrrh. The exits to this room being the main archway one, is a door on the very far end of it leading into some dark hallway. There is another heavy wood door atop the stairs which leads out to a guard post. At the base of the steps is a third twenty foot statue of a soldier.

This room only serves dining for guests with an appointment with his lordship, Lord Azzur does not eat in this room. It's more like for meetings.

It has three twenty-foot soldier statues that can come to life with the pikestaffs and attack. Not much detail had been given to this place, except that Azzur wanted a castle feel to it and nothing spectacular.

On the dining room table is a large glass bowl of fruit. You grab a grape, and here, you also eat that lemon you stole from the officer lounge. You wonder why it looks so drab in here, so lonely and destitute. It's still beautiful, large and regal, it's just you've seen better dungeons in Vatos than this. You sit in Lord Azzur's throne chair and pretend to eat. If he caught you doing this, you'd be dead meat.

You now go up the stone stairs to see what's beyond that wooden door and see only a tiny place outside with a firepit. This is a guard post, you can see the tall tower outside from here too. You close the door after going back in and head down the stairs to another door nearby, beyond it is a short hall that leads into this very strange room.
