At its center, a sculpture of a mythical creature seems to dance amidst the water, casting ethereal reflections. Yet, where warmth meets the chill of the open air, a delicate rime outlines its outer brim. Adjacent, a charming knot garden flourishes. Within, hardy medicinal and culinary herbs thrive, drawing warmth and nourishment from the fountain's embrace.

A basket of wooden sticks sits nearby.		:Dominating the hall is a grand hearth, its facade a mosaic of labradorite speckles and silvery mica glints. Intricate carvings struck from the age-old granite depict shadowy figures dancing amidst ethereal flames. The hearth's surface bears subtle fire stains, hints of many a blaze it has hosted over time. Candles, seemingly birthed from the stone itself, emanate a soft, undulating glow. A basket of wooden sticks sits nearby.

	>l beam		>l beam
			:Spanning the grand chamber, beams of impressive girth hint at tales of ancient, colossal trees. At intervals, they showcase resplendent banners, each a masterpiece of craft, rich with emblems of bygone eras. These heraldic symbols, resplendent in color and design, echo stories of past alliances, valorous battles, and histories etched deep within the hall's essence.
	:Adorned here and there with colorful banners, these beams traversing the width of the great room must have come from trees of truly mythical proportions.

	>l banner		>l banner
			:Suspended from the hall's apex, a banner depicts a verdant tree reaching skyward, its roots delving deeply into a cerulean pool of unfathomable depth. A serpent, meticulously rendered in molten gold and bearing scales reminiscent of illuminated candles, coils its ascent, exuding a fierce determination as its tail and maw perpetually embrace.
	:Two shields have been expertly embroidered side by side on the upper portion of the banner. The shield on the left is pure white over a field of black, while the other boasts a green serpent entwined around the blade of a sword. The bottom section depicts ten black claws grasping a red-gold circle with an inset blue diamond. A golden panel joins the upper and lower portions, centered with the words "Strength, Honor, and Loyalty."

	>l tapestry		>l tapestry
			:Each meticulously woven piece tells tales of heroism, legacy, and kingdoms long past. The rich hues and intricate patterns seem to dance in the flickering torchlight, lending warmth and grandiosity against the stoic granite backdrop. Concealed among these masterpieces, secretive arrow slits offer strategic views of the courtyard, blending defense with decor in the castle's heart.
	:Made of thickly padded wool, the wall hangings serve a practical purpose as well as a decorative one, preventing the room's warmth from being lost to the surrounding granite. Some tapestries are free-hanging while others appear to be tacked tightly against the wall. Behind several of the tapestries you see slender arrow slits overlooking the courtyard. In times of war, the keep's occupants can strip the padded fabric from the walls and defend themselves from invaders.

	:If it didn't have a thick leather cushion and a couple of furs draped across its back, this throne could be mistaken for an unusually decorative cliff. Panels of carved ironwood along the arms keep the occupant's arms from touching the chair's cold granite. The throne rests at the center of the T-shaped table's crossbar, where an array of trophy heads can fix their glassy gazes on it.

	>l heads
	:From heavy-tusked mammoths to ferocious bears, all of the region's fiercest wildlife is arranged closest to the throne. Trophy heads further from the throne appear to come from more distant lands, but all the creatures have similar feral expressions. In the southwestern corner is a small plaque bearing the head of a thyril.
