Destiny's Zone Description Room~
|
||||
Builder : Destiny
|
||||
Zone : 86 Duke Kalithorn's Keep
|
||||
Began :
|
||||
Player Level : 3-14
|
||||
Rooms : 45
|
||||
Mobs : 14
|
||||
Objects : 14
|
||||
Shops : 0
|
||||
Triggers : 0
|
||||
Plot : This will be the Keep of Grand Duke Kalithorn (it can be renamed
|
||||
to fit into the mud..it was just something I came up with) a mercenary
|
||||
turned politician/good guy after his wife was kidnapped by bandits. The Duke
|
||||
swore that he would not rest until his wife was found and the bandits
|
||||
|
||||
punished.so he is 'haunting' (for lack of a better word) the Keep.
|
||||
Links : 60s, 01w
|
||||
Notes : Within a forest or perhaps a little set back from a main road.
|
||||
Neutral to slightly evil. Most of the mobs would be rats, bats and sprites
|
||||
which would be the evil aligned mobs. Kalithorn and his undead guards and
|
||||
sentinels would be of neutral align.
|
||||
Zone 86 was linked to the following zones:
|
||||
34 Arctic Zone at 8601 (west ) ---> 4396

A Dirt Road~
|
||||
The trees part just north revealing an even smaller dirt road. The road
|
||||
casually winds up the steep hill to a dark appearing Keep atop the hill.
|
||||
Ravens call from the nearby trees and smoke can be seen to the north. While a
|
||||
small muddy trail leads off to the west.

A Dirt Road~
|

The small dirt path ends at the rusty remains of a once gilded fence. The
|
||||
gates are half buried in the dust of the path and small vines have overtaken
|
||||
the spokes. The vines have twined themselves tightly but do not hinder
|
||||
movement to the north. The path also curves to the east and fades as it slopes
|
||||
down the steep hill.

The rusty gates give way to a dark, imposing keep. The weathered wooden

lays everywhere and spiderwebs fill the corners dampening the sounds that come

The Foyer~

Stepping into the foyer the smell of decay and dust is evident. Pictures

half hang on the walls and the curtains of the once grand windows lay in

shambles. Broken glass and the dusty remains of a pair of french doors are to

hallway along with a nasty draft from the foyer.

Stairway~
|
||||
A magnificent stairway leads upwards into the darkness of the keep here.
|
||||
The marble is scratched and pockmarked with age but the stairs seem relatively
|
||||
safe. The walls along the staircase are unevenly covered with gaudy striped
|
||||
wallpaper and the bannister is unsteady. The hallway runs south from here and
|

a large dining room is to the east.

Atop the staircase lay two hallyways and a small alcove to the north. One

rotting wood is stronger to the west, while a faint light seems to flicker to

Alcove~
|

A huge, full-length mirror once hung from this crumbled alcove wall. An
|

enormous crack runs diagonally from the top left corner downwards to the bottom
|

right corner, strangely doubling every image. Along the gaudy golden frame
|
||||
there are many, many cracks and dents and the bottom left forner of the mirror
|
||||
has been broken off. The wall paper had long ago cracked and peeled off the
|
||||
western wall, but the eastern wall still holds a small wooden shelf with a few
|
||||
cobweb covered books.

Dim Flight of Stairs~
|

The mirror slides closed with an awful grating sound and all that is left is
|

a long, slippery flight of badly made stairs. Rats squeal somewhere far below,
|
||||
echoing hollowly in the empty space between.

finish to them.

The trees are tall and have grown quite close together here. Birds chirp

movement to the north and south.

Caverns~

The cavern walls are slick with slime and the floor itself is deeply scarred
|

with pockmarks from falling water. Stalagmites have grown down from the

ceiling making travel difficult, but by no means impossible. An odd hollow
|
||||
sound comes from deep within the carverns.

The Kitchens~

A massive blackened stove is set into the back wall of the kitchen. Waist

|

upon. The rough stone walls are smeared with grease and soot from the years of
|
||||
cooking that occurred here. A few platters piled with dust and rat droppings
|

are scattered about this place. The sole exit is to the west.

everywhere. Most of the walls have been stripped of their original wallpaper

and the bare lath remains to be seen. The door to the north has completely

caved inwards and the frame is covered with a heavy spidery webbing, preventing

The whistling hollow sound is almost a dull roar as the cavern ahead opens

up into a large anti-chamber. Bones of unknown origin lay strewn about. A few

are reclining against the rough walls while others lay twisted and broken on

the cavern floor. Two exits are visible, one to the east and the other to the

with rat chewed bits of cloth over them. Tattered blankets hang over the sides

of each bunk and a moth eaten, ratty bed sheet covers the sole window on the

The floor of the cavern is getting softer with each passing cavern. The

flow of water over the calcified rocks and weave a trail toward the next

cavern.

Open Cavern~

This cavern opens into a circular room with a cathedral ceiling. The rock

walls are smooth and covered with tapestries at random intervals. Some bear

scenes of battles, castles and another on the far east wall bears the likeness

of Grand Duke Kalithorn himself! A gently cascading waterfall is the source of
|

the rushing noise that echoes through the other caverns. It gently pours from
|

the southern wall and the small pool reaches the midpoint of this room.
