The River’s Rest Museum

The River’s Rest Museum is located south and west of the entrance to the Pavilion of the Bells. With a blue tiled roof and walls covered in stucco tinted a soft orange hue the Tower that houses the River’s Rest Museum is very similar in appearance to how many of the ruins about town may have looked like before they became ruins.

Upon entering the tower, visitors to the museum will first notice the giant mosaic covering the floor of the central hall. There are four exhibit rooms located off of the entrance hall, one room in each of the four cardinal directions.

Visitors will also notice that just inside the lovely arched door a small sign is posted. This sign informs visitors that though everyone is encouraged to enjoy visiting the museum, only those of the Bard profession may handle the items in the museum. While much of the loresong information is available here, certain aspects are not. Visitors are encouraged to seek out someone of the bard profession for the full museum experience.

A Tour of the Museum

Upon reaching the museum, the first item of note is the building itself.

River's Rest Museum

A dense grove of tall persimmon trees surround a small green lawn. In the center of the lawn stands a squat, circular tower made of stucco. Unlit torches line the white gravel walkway leading to the tower. Muted birdsong filters in through the trees.

[Museum, Entrance Hall]

A gigantic mosaic forms the floor of the entrance hall. Exhibit rooms branch off in the cardinal directions. The circular stairway at the back of the hall is blocked off by a velvet rope barrier. A small sign stands beside the graceful arched doorway leading out. Obvious exits: north, east, south, west

[Museum, Exhibit Room North]

The room smells of beeswax and incense. A large, faded tapestry graces one of the walls. Standing in a corner of the room is a tall statue of a brawny man in armor. A pair of crossed spears border the exit. A wide shelf on one wall overhangs a sturdy exhibit table.
