Bayview Manor

Outside:

[Vornavis, Dondraek Lane - 33281] (u4201106)
Western-facing homes centered by a stately manor behind a wrought-iron gate line the ambling lane, each surrounded by decorative bushes and ample lawns.  Beyond the tidy rows, the illuminated city thrums with activity and life as denizens hurry about their busy day.  Narrowing perceptibly to the north, the small cobbles of the street transition to large slabs of worn sandstone as it slips between an imposing structure and the city walls.  You also see a wrought-iron gate.
Obvious paths: north, south

Bayview Manor Grounds:

[Bayview Manor, Courtyard - 33468] (u1309121)
Walls of stacked stone surround the courtyard, providing some solace from the constant bustle of the city on the other side.  At one end of the courtyard, a pair of aged mahogany doors leads into the manor while a wrought-iron gate at the opposite end leads back to the city.  Along the perimeter, an assortment of topiaries, bushes, and ivies has been planted, their blooms blanketing the area with a soft, floral scent.  In the center, several cushioned benches surround a large pear tree which provides shade from the sun, its canopy a riot of leaves wit

[Bayview Manor, Foyer - 33469] (u1309122)
The foyer is expansive and airy, with high ceilings and polished marble floors that gleam in the bright natural light streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows that flank a pair of aged mahogany doors.  An imposing chandelier hangs overhead above a pair of plush leather couches set on a large wool rug near a riverstone fireplace.  Opposite the entrance, a grand staircase leads up to the second floor while an ornate oak archway leads further into the manor.  You also see a small entry table.
Obvious exits: west

>look staircase

The wide, curving staircase has been constructed with dark, polished mahogany treads and off-white risers with polished handrails flanking each side. In the center, a red wool runner that has been secured with polished brass retainers serves to quiet any steps. At the top of the staircase, a wide balcony allows for a commanding view of the foyer while a carved oak door leads into the manor's second floor.

>l doors

Thick planks of mahogany have been joined together by oversized black iron hinges. Though small gouges and dents in the wood evidence signs of usage, the polish used to finish the wood remains in pristine condition. In the center is a stout iron keyhole while a small wooden window allows for observation of the outside.

>l chandelier

This opulent chandelier hangs from the ceiling from a polished gold canopy and column that twists and spirals down to the bowl. From them hang numerous candles surrounded by prism-strung chains that serve to scatter the light into a myriad of colors when in use. At the bottom of the bowl, a small symbol of the Hall of Mages hangs from a thin silk rope.

The chandelier is lit.

>l couches

Extremely soft sections of leather have been worked and sewn to create very comfortable couches which sit atop a patterned wool rug. At each end, numerous pillows have been set to allow for a comfortable rest while remaining in close proximity to the riverstone fireplace.

>l fireplace

You see a neatly laid-out pile of wood and tinder awaiting only the application of flame to come to life. Nearby is a basket of wooden sticks ready to be used to light the fire or to keep it burning.
