|desc=This expansive lounge feels vast, furnished with '''deep leather couches''' paired with mahogany side tables. '''Tall curtained windows''' along the northern wall soften any light that spills in. A '''long driftwood bar''' spans the space in front of the windows. The eastern wall is claimed by a '''massive stone fireplace''' crowned by a '''thick mantle''', while on the opposite wall a '''dark mahogany double door''' opens into an adjoining bedchamber. Polished hardwood floors complement raised-panel wainscoting covering the walls. You also see a '''gently curved stone staircase'''. |
|||
|exits=none}} |
|||
;>look couches |
|||
:Deeply cushioned leather couches bear the quiet marks of long use, their surfaces softened and creased from years of comfort rather than neglect. The dark leather has been carefully maintained, its patina enriched by age, while subtle stitching traces the broad arms and backs. The couches invite repose, offering a sense of warmth and familiarity within the refined space. |
|||
;>look windows |
|||
:Tall windows rise along the northern wall, draped in layered curtains of finely weighted fabric that temper the light entering the room. When parted, the curtains allow a softened glow to spill inward, filtered and subdued, lending warmth without glare. The materials show careful selection, blending function with quiet luxury. |
|||
;>look bar |
|||
:Spanning the space in front of the windows, the bar is fashioned from a colossal driftwood trunk, halved and precisely cut to bar height. The top is wrapped in dark, finely worked leather, its edge cleanly bound. Shelving within the bar holds space for bottles and glassware, arranged with deliberate order. The bar's placement keeps it accessible while preserving the lounge's refined atmosphere. |
|||
;>look fireplace |
|||
:Dominating the eastern wall, the '''stone fireplace''' spans an impressive width, its broad hearth framed by carefully fitted blocks worn smooth by time and heat. A '''thick mantle''' crowns the structure, intricately carved and sized to match the fireplace's grand scale. Above it hangs a '''richly woven tapestry''' encircled by a slowly-turning ring of arcane sigils that releases writhing tendrils of mana, suffusing the room with magical power as the luminous strands dissipate into the air. |
|||
:Not a single flicker of flame remains in the '''fireplace'''. Cold, scattered ashes and tiny bits of unburned wood lay strewn about within the '''fireplace'''. |
|||
;>look tapestry |
|||
:This richly woven tapestry depicts the ancient tale of Ghezresh, once a tempestuous spirit born of fire beneath the sea's surface. A swirling chorus of silver-indigo anguillid forms coils about a central fire-touched figure. Brilliant threads of crimson, silver and indigo intertwine, evoking flame and abyss in a scene of primal struggle and transformation. The artistry is fine and meticulously detailed, every weave lending depth to the legend. |
|||
;>look mantle |
|||
:Carved from a single expanse of dark mahogany, the mantle projects boldly from the stonework, its thickness and width giving it an architectural presence of its own. Subtle detailing traces the edges, the craftsmanship precise and deliberate. |
|||
;>look door |
|||
:Rising nearly from floor to ceiling, the dark mahogany double doors are masterfully crafted and flawlessly finished, their wide panels worked with delicate, symmetrical carving. Carefully fitted metalwork accents the design without distraction. When closed, they stand as a dignified boundary, their weight and finish befitting the private chamber beyond. |
|||
:The door is open. |
|||
;>look staircase |
|||
:The staircase curves downward in a wide, flowing arc, its pale stone steps broad and evenly set as they descend toward the room below. A carved stone balustrade borders the landing before giving way to a slender metal railing that follows the stair's curve below, preserving an open view into the space beneath. |

Journey's End is a private property located on Triton Road in Solhaven.
The property was moved from Ta'Illistim in November of 2025.
It is a highly customized version of Evelise's Retreat, created by GM Valyrka and won by Alastir at Prime's Great Auction of 2016.
Rent was 75,000 silvers before the property was made permanent through Summit Academy. It includes a node, dart board, hammock and custom foraged item prop.
Location
| [Solhaven, Triton Road] | |
| Stopping at the base of the Vornavian cliffs, the road ends in a small cobblestone cul-de-sac lined in thrakwood trees. A path lined with crystal lamps winds its way through a front lawn filled with garden beds that are overflowing with flowers as it makes its way to an elegant stone cottage. On the opposite side of the crescent, an ornate mistwood gate offers entry to the grounds of an alabaster stone manor. | |
| Obvious paths: northeast, southwest | |
>look gate
- An ornate silver mistwood gate crowned with a scrollwork lattice is set into the low greystone wall, providing a partial view of the lush green lawn and alabaster stone manor beyond. The fittings of the gate are crafted from crimson eahnor and shaped as miniature rose blossoms, their vivid hue contrasting with the backdrop of pallid wood.
>open gate
- You unhook a small silver latch and gently push the gate open.
>close gate
- You gently pull an ornate mistwood gate closed and hook the silver latch.
>l manor
- Surrounded by a low greystone wall, the manor rises with alabaster charm from the center of an elegant garden. Porcelain shingles decorate the slanted roof, shoping over beautiful oriel windows framed in birch and copper. A cobbled walkway separates a cherry grove and blossoming beds of colorful flowers.

Day
| [Journey's End, Lawn] | |
| Surrounded by a low greystone wall, a rolling green lawn spreads out before a beautiful alabaster stone manor. Both elegant and charming, the building's design synthesizes the beauty of the landscape. A cobbled walkway separates a cherry grove and blossoming beds of colorful flowers. | |
| Obvious paths: none | |

Ambient Room Scripts
DAY A gust of wind rustles through the cherry grove, causing a cascade of pale pink petals to drift gracefully to the ground. The faint bustling noises of the city can be heard beyond the greystone wall, the sound muted slightly by the distance to Moonglae Var. A pair of ruby-throated hummingbirds dance about a bed of stargazer lilies, flitting to-and-fro, feeding on nectar from the lush blooms. A tawny spotted ocelot peers out from behind a blossom and cherry-laden tree, cautiously observing the surroundings before sneaking off. A soft, sweet fragrance of cherry blossom mingles with the scents of iris and stargazer lilies, creating an aromatic floral perfume that wafts throughout the area.
NIGHT A little brown bat swoops in while emitting a series of shrill noises, close on the trail of fleeing starflies. The sirenflowers whisper in soft, echoing tones to one another before rising into their eerie ballad once more. A chill draft of wind whistles by, evoking a cascade of soft, somber wails from the sirenflowers growing in their beds. A greater elf owl glides through the cherry grove, hooting loudly at a partially concealed feline figure stalking through the trees. Rapidly blinking in and out, starflies flit through the darkness, their dance disrupted by the sudden appearance of a little brown bat.

| [Journey's End, Study] | |
| Small and cozy, the intimate study is lined with bookcases and shelves filled with various books and volumes. A small basket of sticks rests next to a large stone fireplace adorned with a thick oak mantle. Tucked into a corner is a mistwood writing desk, its surface cluttered with various inkwells, parchments, and quills with a cushioned mistwood chair placed in front. A large dart board hangs over an oak dartboard rack, which sits caddy-corner to a small tiled bar covered with a varied selection of food and drink. You also see a mistwood storage locker secured with a large padlock. | |

Ambient Room Scripts
An exceedingly fluffy black kitten prances out from behind the writing desk and dashes for the foyer, a plumed quill gripped tightly in his mouth. An elderly retainer enters carrying a stack of fresh parchment and quills. He places the items on the writing desk and arranges them in an orderly fashion, then exits. A handsome elven houseboy in silver-on-sapphire livery arrives, carrying several bottles on a silver tray. Moving next to the bar, he refills the various beverages before withdrawing. An elven page boy dressed in silver-on-sapphire livery removes a disorganized heap of wax-sealed parchments from the writing desk and hurries off with the parchments held firmly in hand. A handsome elven houseboy tidies the room, dusting the bookcases and shelves with a fluffy feather duster. He gives the bar a quick polish with a rag pulled from his pocket, then exits.

Ambient Room Scripts
DAY A sparkle through the sliding glass door catches your eye as sunlight plays off the cascade of water in a silvery grey stone fountain at the center of the garden. An elven page boy enters through the sliding glass door, carrying a stack of seasoned firewood. He places the wood in the basket, dusts himself off and exits with a cheeky grin. A handsome elven houseboy attired in ivory-on-sapphire livery arrives carrying supplies on a silver tray. Moving next to the sideboard, he restocks the food and beverages before withdrawing.
NIGHT A series of loud hoots can be heard outside on the patio as a greater elf owl calls out in the night. Through the sliding glass door you watch as a group of starflies dance in the darkness, rapidly blinking in and out. Soft moonlight illuminates the view of the garden through the sliding glass door, bathing the water of a silvery grey stone fountain in a pale luminescence.
BOTH A tawny spotted ocelot pauses outside on the patio to gaze longingly through the sliding glass door before scrambling off. From the foyer comes the sound of little romping paws, accompanied by excited trilling mews. An exceedingly fluffy black kitten saunters in proudly, a plumed quill in his mouth.
Patio
Day
| [Journey's End, Patio] | |
| The enclosed garden is ringed by pale granite pillars supporting the gently sloping slate roof. Across the way, a pale beechwood door leads to another portion of the manor. A narrow bed of white gravel surrounds a silvery grey stone fountain which centers the garden. Mixed with shades from viridian to sage, dense layers of moss cover the ground leading to a massive willow. A woven silk hammock is stretched between two glowbark posts that are covered with climbing white roses. You also see a sliding glass door. | |
| Obvious paths: none | |

DAY A small grey squirrel hops a few times around the base of the willow before issuing a series of loud kuks and scrambling up the tree. The subdued sound of water trickling over a silvery grey stone fountain provides a melodic accompaniment to the wind whispering through the willow tree. A rainbow finch suddenly alights upon the edge of a silvery grey stone fountain, quickly dipping its beak into the cool water for a drink before flying away. A sudden shimmer of golden light within the waters of the fountain catches your attention. Gazing within, you see several small fish swimming around peacefully. A brightly colored jewel beetle flutters through the garden, alighting on an alabaster rose. Briefly stilled, it stretches its wings before taking to the air once more. NIGHT A series of loud hoots can be heard as a greater elf owl calls out in the night. Scattered constellations of stars are visible in the night sky above, twinkling throughout the vast spread of darkness. A pale white moon moth flutters through the moonlit garden, drifting in languid curves before disappearing into the night. A tawny spotted ocelot peers out from behind the massive willow, cautiously observing the surroundings before sneaking off. The velvety perfume of roses lingers in the air of the garden, wafting from the climbing vines blooming along the posts of the hammock. BOTH A silvery grey stone fountain bubbles peacefully. The water within a silvery grey stone fountain lazily ripples outward. A splash of water spills from the side of a silvery grey stone fountain. Water splashes loudly over the fountain before pooling in the basin below. The water within a silvery grey stone fountain gurgles tranquilly as it falls into the basin below.

Willow
Day
| [Journey's End, Willow] | |
| Careful cultivation made this willow into a functional platform. The trunk and its adjoining branches grow right into the wood plank edges. Silk pillows have been scattered about the lofty retreat to add a touch of comfort. Looking out across the landscape, Seethe Naedal rises high to the west, its domed observatory aglow in the sunlight. To the east, a pair of bridges, one light and one dark, hover in the air above the city, creating visual markers that lead directly to the Sapphire Gate far below. You also see a polished wooden ladder. | |

DAY A gentle, cooling breeze swirls through the tree. The branches of the willow sway as a gentle breeze catches them. A pair of songbirds flit back and forth through the branches, their light and airy songs filling the sky. Climbing up higher in the tree, a small grey squirrel carries a nut in its mouth. Its bushy tail twitches as he scampers out of sight.
NIGHT A canopy of stars twinkles above illuminating the platform. A pair of crickets sing happily, their songs echoing through the night. Rustling slightly in the breeze, the trees add a soft accompaniment to the evening. Rapidly blinking in and out, starflies flit through the darkness, illuminating their dance. With a sudden flash, a lone star shoots across the night sky before trailing off into nothing. A greater elf owl gives a short, "whoo, whoo", as it takes flight and disappears into the night.
BOTH The sounds of the city are nearly suppressed from this distance above the town, but the tromping of boots from a patrolling Sapphire Guard is carried to your ears upon the wind.
Second Floor
Lounge

- The door is open.
- >look staircase
- The staircase curves downward in a wide, flowing arc, its pale stone steps broad and evenly set as they descend toward the room below. A carved stone balustrade borders the landing before giving way to a slender metal railing that follows the stair's curve below, preserving an open view into the space beneath.
Bedchamber
DAY
| [Journey's End, Bedchamber] | |
| Pale silk walls give way to a series of large, rounded windows that bathe the room in sunlight.

DAY Soft daylight filters through the glass above, diffused by passing clouds into a gentle, shifting glow.
NIGHT Moonlight slips intermittently through the glass overhead, its presence fleeting as the sky changes above.
BOTH The scent of clean linen and rose-infused soap lingers faintly in the air. Warmth lingers throughout the room, settled and even, as if the space itself holds the memory of comfort. Subtle reflections shift across polished surfaces as the light above changes, never quite settling.
