Tour
the House of Ivory
The
main entrance to the House of Ivory is
located on the "South Wing"
of the house. This wing is used for entertaining
guests, ambassadors, and other esteemed
visitors. It consists primarily of ballrooms,
sitting rooms, drawing and board rooms,
dining rooms, and formal suites. Here
we begin the tour of the South Wing.

From
the main entrance, a person would enter
into the lobby through a set of ivory double
doors with stained panels near the top.
The brilliant red carpet and ivory and gold
trim set off the room in addition to the
grand staircase. |
The
Great Hall was off to the right of the Lobby
and was often the place guests were taken
to first to wait for their host(s) to arrive.
It is here we first glimpse the mixture
of futuristic items being placed around
this castle, such as the lamps. Oddly though,
there are no plugs for electricity. They
seemed to be running on magic alone. |

The
armory in the South Wing showcases weapons
and armor across the warmth of the room's
yellow walls. Most of the weapons on display
were made by Kerrinne's late grandfather,
Karal Bairde MacMillan. He was a pyromancer
and a smithy. At the edge of the willow
grove outside he had a forge where he made
all these weapons. It is still there to
this day. Most of the weapons belonging
to the House, though, are stored in the
East Tower. Only the finest show pieces
are displayed here in the armory. |
|
|
The
gallery contains expensive and rare portraits
and pieces of art from sculptures to oil
paintings to vases and more. From every
reach of the earth and even of the planet
of RhyDin, these pieces tell the stories
of Kerrinne's journey over time and distance.
Two worlds and nearly eight decades worth
of travel, intrigue, and adventure are stored
here. |

Sitting
rooms are dotted all over the entire castle,
even here in the South Wing. Kerrinne likes
to entertain smaller groups of visitors
in these rooms since they are more cozy
and less formal than the great rooms. This
is often where guests will come to share
a spot of hot tea at tea time as well. |
