Floor 3, Hall of Pillars

Floor 3

Behind the porcelain lattice wall, by the sky windows is a winding staircase made entirely out of bones. It is unknown what kind of bones it's possible to be animal and human. They wind up to the right to a landing or balcony of sort where rests a taxidermy baby mammoth with curly horns. On the landing is a wide doorway guarded by two stallion heads. Lord Azzur has a collection of chess, dice, and tarot cards here. The theme is black and white like a harlequin, lots of glass mini tables and chairs, and glass shelves holding all sorts of dice (think D&D), some tarot cards are created from gold chips and come in various sizes. There are four black ebony steps that go up through the doorway to floor 3. Floor is checker patterned, walls white, railing made of whale bone. Elvish vines line the ceiling with little lights in areas only highlighting the apparatuses. The scent of strong incense comes out of the doorway.

Hall of Pillars

Going through the doorway one comes to a massive open floor plan marked with 30 pillars of blue cobalt, these pillars are filled with water and sometimes bubble. The area is sectioned into many parts with adjoined rooms and at the very far back is the museum, outside on the right is the Villa, and in this great room is where there is a pool, hot tub, and Turkish Bath. The pool is set in the floor on the right, it's rectangular and has an amber glow to it, the water almost ripples crystal clear, there are lights within. Nearby the pool is a curtained area where sits a clawfoot tub. The walls of this room are all mirrors, the floor granite, and the ceiling decked in carved designs in square panels. On the left is situated the hot tub which is filled with very hot water. On either side of the doorway are stone rooms, these are referred to as the sauna rooms or steam rooms. A wide staircase leads to the museum guarded by two large angels with swords. On the right is another doorway which leads into more rooms, one being the glittery dining room, aquarium room, and terrace that overlooks the Dome of Last Hope. The doorway to the right behind the Turkish Bath and hot tub leads to a greenhouse of sort, and the Ship of Chaos display room. Far beyond in the back next to the museum is located royal bed chambers area.

The dining room is guarded by a nesting blue mini ice dragon, the room has a table and only one throne chair, fireplace and glass shelves. What makes this room unique is that it's completely covered in all kinds of fairy dust. It looks abandoned with the foods on platters like cakes, chocolate, sweets and empty dishes and mugs. The room might be painted all black, but it is hard to tell with all the glitter. It may no longer be used at all. The dust is sparkly and tinged blue and seems to resemble wind blown snow, a door leads into the next room that has an aquarium set into the walls heated by two statues spewing fire from their palms. This is also known as the vampire's lounge because of the posh purple and red chaise lounges, Oriental cushions and Persian carpets and velvety red drapes. The fish tank is a salt water one having all kinds of school fish in it, coral reefs, an octopus, an eel, starfish, one jellyfish and crabs that appear to glow in metallic hues as they edge about. There are all kinds of stuffed weasels, peacocks feathers, and snake statues with ruby eyes and fortune telling table with crystal ball. The dusty French doors of the next room leads outside to the patio guarded by blind sword belly dancers. There are three of them standing in their own private alcove. This is to ensure no one scales this area hoping to get inside the palace alive. One may sit out here, look up at the stars, drink a bottle of blood and vodka, and admire the top of the dome and the fairy gardens across the way; It also has an absinthe station. The belly dancer golems were imported from a Sultan in the desert. The outside terrace would be lovely if it weren't jammed packed with jars of human remains, skeletal pieces, mummified body parts, formaldehyde jars, and human heads. There are small chests filled with silver coins covered in dust, and some coins replace the eyes of the heads. There area was renovated recently, it used to be all closed and used by the mad scientist who now resides in the dungeons in his laboratory. A brazen filled with ash and coals remains that was once used to brand victims. Here, the scientist would conduct bizarre and cruel experiments and here is where the vampires would line up for food from him. He also specialized is powerful drugged wines made of blood and wormwood. It's not a welcoming area. The dragon in the dining room is perched inside the wall, breathing cold ice down along the wall which melts closer to the floor.
