Floor 2, Glass Lounge, Library, Music Room

 It is named the glass lounge because of the windows and glass drinks bar. The windows starting from the floor and all the up to the ceiling like a tremendous bay window are tinted blue, the view from them is the backyard below, one can see the little huts and stables and barn and fruit trees. The bar where hard liquor is served is also made of same tinted glass, there are glass shelves holding all sorts of wine and spirit bottles. The bar has stools to sit at and it is also where all the glass wine goblets are stored. This area is not a single room, in fact it shares the same space as the library which is located in center, and the music room which is situated at the front. So it is a massively huge room. We will account them by divisions on this page.

The glass lounge is where one may drink booze, it serves no other purpose than that.

The center of the room has the library, shelves on either wall, that are two storey high balconies. In between them is a circular lounging couch set in the floor, and within the circling couch is a giant firepit spewing blue flames. It is a good place to rest, read a scroll, and put your feet up to keep them toasty. Ladders that slide can be used to go up to the second landing to search more books or whatever is on the shelves, and in the cabinets. All of Azzur's books are here from necromancy, interstellar sciences, physics, tarot reading, palm reading, leaf reading, sorcery, spell books, ships, herbology, plants and flowers of Titan, animals, pet care, grooming books, sewing, castles, blueprints, maps, scrolls with ancient texts on them, bottles of potions,  religion, outer space, astrology, metaphysical, spiritual, mathematics, personal journals and diaries by Azzur, time travel, creatures and monsters of Titan, seas, mythology, cook books, carpentry, masonry work, stone cutting, jewelry making,  health books, anatomy, embalming, mummification, pharaohs, all types of kings and queens, deities, demonology,  world maps, pirates, clothing, fabrics, textiles and materials, divination, witches, angels, weaponry and armory, gods and goddesses, history books, books by scholar academies and many others. Everything is all wood and the floor is set in white. The ceiling however is painted in intricate strange and questionable art just like the Sistine Chapel. The room is not just made up of the three sections, there is an Elvin tree growing up out of the floor by the pendulum room doorway. When the palace was being built the tree had rumored to suddenly sprout without stopping after Illios Valentis was hanged and Azzur said to just build around it. Someone has decorated the tree with purplish and white twinkly lights. The circular lounge in the floor is in themes of paisley blues and whites with cushions and pillows strewn about it. The firepit is made of marble. Around all the exits of this great room are metal flowers, which grow in crazy veined and blossoming bursting spouts, and although very colorfully gorgeous, they are as razor sharp as a knife so it takes a special gardener with a special machete to trim them before they start getting out of control. They make good guardians and can quickly block doors. The library on the left side also has a big wooden wind-up clock that chimes, and on the right side opposite the clock is this aptly placed mirror? It is unknown as to what the mirror signifies or if it might have something to do with the clock? Perhaps more secret divination ideas.

The music room is closed off by a heavy velvet red drape with golden tassels, in the music room is set into the wall a brass and wood organ, there is a big gold harp, and a few wooden benches for sitting. Besides the organ piano is a hidden door that goes back out into the Great White Hall. Little naked flying Cupids adorn the room with ribbons.

Two large doorways of the library area lead out into a corridor, this corridor will take one back out to the second level foyer stairs and also across to the Banquet Hall. The doorways have a sheer curtain for privacy.

Most impressive you think, miracles of art can indeed be invented, for the room is busy and so full of eye candy you don't know where to start. Above you is a very wide arched ceiling painted in images of things you do not understand or can translate or decipher. It would take you months just to go through the library in total, but what does his lordship write about? What might go through the mind of a dictator? You're not in the mood for drink so you skip the glass lounge. The firepit gives off a steady warmth with its blue flame, to modern times, one may say it's natural gas, but the flames are blue for a reason. One summer during the building of the palace there were forest fires everywhere because everything was so scorched and dry. Lord Azzur put a fire ban on his palace, so those who installed the torches, lanterns, stoves, candles, fireplaces, indoor fire pit had to use sorcery to recreate the flames. The result was them turning blue. So if one lights a match outside, the flame is normal, but once it comes inside the palace it becomes blue. It still gives off heat but will NOT catch fire to anything. It was a safety precaution implemented. You read that somewhere, you just can't recall where, but that is one fact you know. You go up to the second level balcony of the library scaling one of the ladders and spy a diary by Lord Azzur, in it he writes about...birds. Apparently he likes birds and owns a red parrot and a vulture somewhere. He also likes tending honey bees at his forest dwelling chateau. He writes about how to preserve honey, care for bees, and how to look after bats. You half expected him to talk about destroying the entire world! but nope. He has another diary on his dreams and how to understand them, apparently he dreams about other planets, flying through outer space, and befriending a Beholder. One other diary is about Giths, and you are unfamiliar with that species, but he goes on talking about their world and you realize sharply that the ceiling above also depicts this fictional place and peoples. You wonder what he's going on about because it makes no sense. Either he's crazy and overly imaginative or he's really been to this other planet somehow. You slam the journal shut hard sending up a cloud of dust which causes you to sneeze. You can now examine the ceiling further or leave this room entirely.
