Property-wide Ambient Messaging:

Sharp shattering pings occasionally puncture the quiet as stray icicles detach from the home's overhang.
Faint creaking and cracking arises from somewhere unseen in the cabin as the home naturally settles.
Audibly rushing over the front of the cabin, a robust gale blows up and across the rooftop.
Outside, the baleful wind howls and whips across the sturdy log exterior.
A brisk wind swirls against the outdoor backing of the cabin.
The faint hoot of an owl echoes through the wintry forest, the sound playing distant and far away from inside the cabin's warmth.
The quick, hollow thumping of a woodpecker penetrates the area as the bird attempts to extricate a pest from the exterior log walls.

Spindrift Sanctuary, Approach

Pale golden yellow snow lilies sprout from around a wall of mottled grey stone, its overhang partially shadowing a slurry of ice and snow that trails down a shadowy stone-lined path beyond a cast iron gate. Frost-swept clusters of ruffled clover blot the niveous surroundings with striking dollops of greenery. A sturdy, nicely appointed cypress log cabin with a gabled roof is plunked among some blue-blushed winter roses and encircled by unruly crallisberry hedges. You also see a small pine mailbox shaped like a rustic birdhouse and a mossy arctic lawn. Obvious paths: none

The cabin is a nice size, despite the encroaching winter roses and crallisberry hedges that closely border it. The entryway is painted a rich glacial blue tone and the gabled roof sports an eye-catching overhang that shades the wraparound porch.

gaze lawn

You gaze at a mossy arctic lawn with a practiced eye, noting that you could probably harvest a delicate white snowdrop bell, a blush moss campion bloom, a pale golden yellow snow lily, a spotted red tundra mushroom, a niveous ice tulip, a crimson bearberry, and a silvered creeping willow leaf.

Moonlight basks across a myriad of fireflies who dance and play among the floral mossy lawn, painting a symphonic light show of a gentle flickering glow in their wake.

Lofty vaulted ceilings above are inset with panels of crystal-clear glass revealing the arcing skyscape painting the heavens outside. Adjacent to a beveled door and a narrow hallway, a motley crew of preserved beast heads hangs over a spacious rune-etched fireplace housed in an encasement of natural stonework. Hunting-themed oil paintings in gold frames adorn the polished cypress walls with a rustic flair, yielding to a fauna-carved rowan arch on the eastern wall. An worn leather sofa is grouped with an oaken reading desk and a rugged oak wastebin. You also see a moose head bearing multi-tined antlers mounted above crossed bronze daggers and a glacial blue entryway. glacial blue entryway. Obvious exits: out

look sofa

The sofa boasts a rich upholstery of distressed leather, its deep brown hue adorned with a subtle patina. Thick, weathered oak legs support the frame while a matching leather piping crawls along its edges. Soft, plush furs are casually draped atop the sofa, creating a haphazard but cozy pile for respite.

look wastebin

The oak's natural grain is visible beneath a clear finish, enhancing the wastebin's rustic charm. The words "Suggestion Box" have been carved into its front facing side, inviting adventurers to share their thoughts and feedback.

A sunbeam streams through a chink in the wooden logs, radiating a patch of warmth that bathes the cabin's interior in a golden, ethereal light.
Candlelight swims across the sturdy log walls, its lambent glow casting shadows that undulate softly.

Spindrift Sanctuary, Bedroom

[Spindrift Sanctuary, Bedroom]

Taking up a significant majority of the free space in the room, an enormous goosefeather sleighbed is mounded with oversized spruce green flannel pillows and draped with plushly layered furs. Geometric beadwork traces the heavy suede curtains that frame a leaded glass picture window, opposite a red cedar dressing table cradling a fluted celadon wash basin. The far wall holds a beveled door and displays an impressive collection of widely varied creature horns and antlers. You also see a woven pine needle yll'suta hanging from a whittled twig stand and a rustic spruce wardrobe. Obvious exits: none

look yll'suta

Dotted about the yll'suta are myriad tiny dragonflies carved from birch and cedar, each suspended on delicate webs of pine needles and leather and artfully placed in the image of a larger dragonfly. Each tiny dragonfly has wings of gathered dove feathers that flutter gently as the air stirs. Hanging from a woven pine needle cord, a whorled wood burl medallion brushes lightly against its whittled twig.

look wardrobe

The wood's well-worn charm tells tales of years past, and intricate carvings of forest denizens adorn its surfaces, telling a silent adventurous story. Delicately carved deer roam among towering trees, while cunning foxes and wise owls peer out from their carved hideaways. The aged spruce, enriched by the marks of time, boasts meticulously crafted metal handles and hinges that have weathered the ages alongside it.

Sunlight filters through the glass window, its frosty surface sending a kaleidoscope of colors across the crisp white sheets on the sleighbed.
The ombre dance of aurora borealis permeates through the glass window, ethereal hues of green and blue sweeping across the frosty sky.
You hear a faint tinkling coming from a woven pine needle yll'suta hanging from a whittled twig stand, reminiscent of wooden chimes on a gentle breeze.

Spindrift Sanctuary, Kitchen

[Spindrift Sanctuary, Kitchen]

Blue and white tiled floors and an elongated heart of pine dining table give the kitchen a welcoming, pastoral charm. The aroma of freshly baked tarts infuses the air around a spotless, hammered bronze kettle perched upon a silver tortoise-shaped stove. Innumerous copper pots and pans are suspended from staggered ceiling hooks, placed opposite some beveled silver beech cupboards and a steel-topped walnut serving cart. You also see a tiered ceramic fairy garden and a burled acacia doorway. Obvious exits: out

look garden

Rising in a series of tiers, each flaring outward with flutes reminiscent of a clamshell, the garden is broken into three ceramic basins that decrease in size as they ascend. Thick moss hides peat and soil nestled within each tier, and clusters of fragrant herbs tower treelike over tiny carved wooden houses. Shards of cerulean glaes form a winding stream on the lowest tier with a miniature ceramic bridge spanning its width, while a lopsided copper teapot proudly crowns the garden's highest shelf.

On the pine table: a rhimar-lined churn

look on cart

On the walnut serving cart: a goblet of wild blackberry wine, a handful of luscious blueberries, a dish of lemony buttered salmon grilled with fire-blackened skin, some crusty dark brown bread dotted with hearty oats, some piping hot braised beef stew with slivers of carrots and leeks, and some ice blue wooden sticks.

A circular drakar plate tops the stove, a banded circle of flowing runes running along its edge.

Spindrift Sanctuary, Study

[Spindrift Sanctuary, Study]

Burnished cherrywood floors span the length of the entire study, ending just before a dark mahogany hearth that is surrounded by a half-moon of mosaic gold inlay. Ancient novels and tomes litter the built-in bookcases that nearly reach the ceiling, the extensive library only interrupted by the presence of a burled acacia doorway. A rounded black marble platform rises at the back and is domed by vast glass windows that are set up for viewing with a wide-lensed antiqued copper telescope. Obvious exits: none

The scent of well-worn leather mingles with the earthy fragrance of aged parchment as a soft creak announces the placid settling of the cherrywood floorboards.

Spindrift Sanctuary, Haven

[Spindrift Sanctuary, Haven]

Rows of roughly hewn wooden slabs are pushed to the side of the square-shaped room, each one with its own set of wickedly sharp tools exhibited on hanging steel hooks behind it. Ledges teeming with a multitude of supplies and other labeled toolboxes wrap around the upper half of the walls. Prepped for longer periods of work, an aged vultite-chased lantern hovers above an elaborate fir sideboard. Scads of untanned hides are stacked next to a fauna-carved rowan arch, opposite another meticulously sorted selection of variegated pelts. Obvious exits: none

On the fir sideboard: a big mug of rich dark coffee, a stein of dark chocolate stout, a crispy golden brown raspberry tart swirled with vanilla bean icing

 A chipmunk, drawn by the warmth, scampers playfully across the wooden floor, its tiny paws leaving behind miniature prints as it explores the room.
