Floor 2, the Painted Ceiling

 Directly above the library is this awesome illustration of imageries of people and cosmos. There was lots of blue, purple, black and yellow inks and paints used. In general references to what is exactly painted up there there is an oversized naked goddess in yellow ribbons, celestial worlds, strange planets, a solar system possibly our own, an elvish baby in blue suckling the tit of its saintly mother, almost floating forgotten ancient places, a red crazy haired goddess in a chariot pulled by fiery lions in outer space she races for a kingdom of crystal mountains,  blue clouds, crystal castles and odd landscapes not known to Titan, tarot cards featuring only the major arcana, portraits of village people and farmers with pointed ears, gods and demons that look Oriental or Arabian dancing with these people by pyres, strange animals being hunted, and a giant dragon-like Pegasus, and people with glowing blue fists as if having psy powers. The painting of outer space is fancy and done in 3D not 2d.

Above the music room is where the suckling infant starts, above the library is the yellow ribboned seductive goddess floating in space without a care she rather resembles Venus, and above the glass lounge is the celestial paintings. Along the walls of the library on the left is the white flying horse, tarot cards and villagers, and on the right is the red haired vixen in the chariot and the strange worlds she's chasing. The question is what do they all mean? Lord Azzur was very specific in the details. The ceiling took an entire year to paint and everything in it is nothing that exists on Titan. Someone might decipher it and say it looks like its from Femphry or far eastern coasts of Allansia. The Painted Ceiling depicts secretly Azzur's hidden heritage and lineage from his mother's side, to her ancestors home on another planet, their culture and belief system were taught to Azzur as a child by Zelakar. The man who raised him. To anyone in Titan, any scholar reading the ceiling without having zero knowledge of the Gith would deem impossible to understand. The questions raised is Lord Azzur a Gith or just remotely a fan of them? His mother claims she has hereditary background of it, but it is unknown if she's telling the truth because she died when he was born leaving only scrolls of slight information. As far as Lord Azzur knows, he's human 100%. Azzur owns a replica Githblade of gold and has many scrolls and books on the Gith world that either Zelakar told him about or that he made up himself. The images in the Painted Ceiling are of the gods and goddesses, peoples and creatures, places of the Gith World. The suckling infant may be Azzur himself as a celestial child in a far away land with his mother. There must still be more research done on Lord Azzur's background to determine what his true nationality is. The ceiling cannot answer these questions. According to Titan, this Gith propaganda is indeed foreign, and the cosmos painted above is where they exist. But in Titan's timeline of 200s AC there are no spaceships in the medieval lands so it's impossible to even know these places survive still or that there is even a way of getting to them. Its all nothing but a marveling prodigy. There is even a question as to why Lord Azzur dreamt of a Beholder, as this creature does not exist either in Titan. Perhaps more will be explained later.
