	THE INNER GARDENS

What is called the Inner Gardens is really more like an indoor forest. The deceptively modest circular entrance way leads into a huge, naturalistic garden that bursts with trees and plant life from all over the cosmos. The areas closest to the entrance are set up in appropriately artistic arrangements, whereas the thicker areas further back become more like a lush jungle. There are several ponds as well as one larger lake near the entrance, with an artful waterfall plunging into its depths. While the gardens are actually within the house, the sky appears to reflect day and night, and the flora reacts accordingly, the night cycle filled with phosphorous lights of dazzling colours.

	THE GRAND HALL

A maze of stairwells and doors, the Grand Hall is not vast in proportion so much as it is vast in sheer depth. Several layers deep and containing what must be thousands of doors, it is allegedy a portal to almost every room in the house. These tangled pathways are lit by a great number of ever-burning candles, as well as the shimmering blue light that streams in from the ornate stained glass that covers the entire upper ceiling - images chronicling historical events of strange alien worlds you've never seen. Every now and then, the glass itself will shift, animating the tale and ushering it on to the next chapter of the story.

Of the many doors in this hall, very few are unlocked - and those still closed are sealed with something far more powerful than what mere physical force can break.
