Floor 4, Private Quarters of his lordship

His living area consists of a few sections, the dining room, the study, the front room (living room), and adjoined kitchenette.


Dining room

After he is done being dressed he will walk over to his private dining room which is a very tiny room with just a circular table in it and a curio that holds his fancy dishes, cutlery, and cups. The table has one chair and a sheer pinkish curtain hanging down around it for added privacy. The table is usually already set for him, he doesn't have five courses, he only eats once. His meals do not consist of any meat. His faithful servant Gathrun usually serves the food after it's been inspected.

Study

Once he's done eating he will go to the adjoining room separated not by an door but a small archway into his study. This room is wracked with papers, globes, hour glasses, quills, ink pots, wax blocks, a mini desk and chair. The windows for the dining room and study are like the glass stained windows in the battlement room except these ones are all white in design. They let in a lot of light but you cannot see through them. The view from the four windows if you could would be the patio outside and a wall.

In his study, this is where he signs documents, writes letters, looks over contracts, and finances. He works closely with the goblin "Grovelsnitch" that works down in the tax office, just outside the palace but still on palace grounds. Azzur can also approve death penalties, but this is rare. He also receives paperwork on daily and weekly events, including invitations, and anything else that requires his attention.

Patio

When he's done eating and looking over documentation he can come outside and sit in his little private patio, it doesn't have a view unfortunately as it is situated between the dining room/study wall and the building where his daily living quarters are. Fresh bouquets are brought up to the patio every day, and there is also a small bbq he can use.

Living room

Going now into the living room it is one giant room set with a very large couch, a table that has a big crystal ball on it, a big fireplace, more of those stone dragon heads, lots of portraits of lords and ladies, including taxidermy animals like muskrats, rabbits, and birds of all kinds. His kitchenet is at the back and he has usually one trusted cook in there, she usually cooks and bakes, if he doesn't want food from the main the kitchen. The kitchenette is open at all hours. If he wants food at 4 am, he gets it. The room has lots of rugs and pelts, including pillows, blankets, and memorabilia. 

This is where he spends his time relaxing, scrying in the ball to see what others are up to, reading his scrolls and spells, and writing. He can nap in this room, eat, and lie by the fire in the hearth. Like any nobleman, he enjoys the sole comforts of his rich home, but his complete privacy is most critical as sometimes his face isn't covered here and he may be in only his housecoats. 

Kitchen

This little kitchen is all stone and has a tiny cooker and oven. It's stocked with fruits and vegetables and all kinds of sweets like tarts, cake, and bread. It's Azzur's private kitchen, and although he may rarely cook himself, there is usually one cooking servant that attends the kitchenette. All of his fresh foods are prepared and ready to go once he's in the dining room. Gathrun will come and grab the tray and bring it over.

The lighting is candles, lamps, and a few torches. He edged on the builders to hurry up the renovations and so the theme of the room is not so much like the other floors, it's basic wood, stone, and hay stuffed into the ceiling beams. He didn't care so much to make it spectacular because no one would ever see it.

***

Can you imagine a man full of anger relaxing in such a place? It's touching nonetheless and good to know he's not so different from everyone else. Would he cook for himself? It's quite possible and interesting to think what kinds of food he'd create for himself. He doesn't require company either, he's got the entertainment of the powerful crystal ball. But there are other things that can keep him preoccupied such as his Observatory and Science room.

You have to see these places, but will get to them eventually, they are located over on the far left, or Northern part of the palace. You can see another mini bridge from the patio, it's lit up with little twinkling lights.
