Witch's Seat

[wιтcн]

The Keep is home to Draca, Lorn, and Geoffrey. Draca is a serpentine-looking, powerful witch who was once a dragon and helped bring the Blood to life. Lorn is her Warlord Prince, the maker of uncut Jewels, and is a dragon that resides inside the Black Mountain, overseeing anything necessary. He was once great friends with Saetan SaDiablo and was an overseer and mentor of Jaenelle Angelline, the first Witch that the Blood had known- dreams made flesh. Geoffrey is the resident historian and was friends with Saetan, as well, helping him through his later years of life with Jaenelle as his adoptive daughter. Geoffrey primarily resides in the library of the Keep and provides information to anyone who comes his way.

In the Keep, no one's temper is greater than Lorn and Draca. These two powerful beings rule the Keep and oversee anyone who's temper runs hot or cold. If you come into the Keep with a temper, you will feel the dark power of Lorn breathing down your neck and the look of a Queen from Draca's eyes. As such, it is best to use the Keep as it is intended- a place for knowledge and safe-keeping. Anyone is welcome at the Keep, as it is a safe haven for all the Blood. However, not many can stay.

This is Witch's sanctuary- this is where her throne is. The Queen of Kaeleer and Witch are one in the same; they are not different from one another. The Queen of Kaeleer and Witch almost always reside in the same body. During Jaenelle Angelline's rule as Witch, she exchanged the Dark Throne for a simple black chair, with a high back and comfortable arm rests. It is not extravagant or dressed up. It is inteded to be a place from which Witch can oversee and rule, not as a decorative area for curious minds. Witch has her own quarters inside the Keep, with a private garden, bathroom, and bedroom.

There are not servants or hearth-witches in the Keep. Draca, Lorn, and Geoffrey oversee any needs that a visitor has and though that visitor is welcomed warmly, they are not always welcomed for long. Draca and Lorn wait for the next Witch; Geoffrey provides information to anyone who needs it and oversees the records and history of the Blood. If you are curious, visit the Keep; otherwise, keep your distance and respect the dark power radiating from its mountainous walls.

EbonAskavi

Description
EbonAskavi is the Black Mountain. This is the home and sanctuary of Draca, Lorn, and Geoffrey. The surroundings of the Keep are dark mountains usually coated with ice and mist. Not many trees grow on these mountains- they cannot survive the cold air. All are welcome in the Keep, but not many stay.


External of The Keep

SPOILER: Click to show

Description
The Keep, externally, is an old, somewhat haunted castle-type building. However, as you can see, it is literally built into EbonAskavi and is the pride and joy of the Black Mountain. You can see candlelights showing through the tall, Victorian-esque windows and the spikes fly high into the sky. There are no flags on the Keep; there is no insignia for the dragons who reside here.


The Kitchen- kitchen, dining hall

Description
The kitchen is simplistic in design; not many stay at the Keep, so not much room is needed for the actual preparation of food. This is where a fireplace, a few stools, an island, and some comfortable amenities reside. The dining hall is not necessarily large but it does host at least ten to fifteen people in a comfortable space. It's peaceful and quaint, though not altogether without polish.


Informal Sitting Room

Description
The informal sitting room is a comfortable space with large couches, a table, and some bookshelves. It's usually where people come to sit and rest for a bit, though they may enjoy conversation with Draca or Geoffrey. It's important to note that this room is not host to formal functions but is instead used for visitors of the Keep, making them feel at home and safe.


The Library- sitting area, bookshelves

Description
The library is a large, dark area where Geoffrey keeps the records of the Blood. He is the Blood's historians; inside the Keep's library is all the records of all Blood, ever. This place is especially helpful if you're seeking information on your heritage or what happened to the Blood after Witch cleansed the Blood. There's a comfortable sitting area where you can spread books out and then, of course, there's the actual massive collection of books, all kept in relatively good order and condition.


The Dark Throne

Description
The Dark Throne is a high-backed, simple black chair. This is where Witch, the Queen of Kaeleer, sits and conducts Court affairs with her Court, primarily the Steward, Master of Guard, First Escort, and Consort. This chair holds a great deal of power, for the one who sits in it controls all, watches over all, and assumes the responsibility of all the people in her land.


Witch's Quarters- bedroom

SPOILER: Click to show

Description
The Keep is the first and primary sanctuary for Witch. When Jaenelle Angelline was Witch, there is where she went to make her Offering to the Darkness, rest, and recuperate. She was welcomed here with wide arms, as will the next Witch. This is her bedroom; where she will rest, preserve her strength, and recuperate from whatever evil she had to battle. This bedroom is not accessible to anyone but Witch and if you dare enter, Draca and Lorn will bear down on you like hellhounds.


Witch's Quarters- bathroom (shower, bathtub, vanity)

Description
The bathroom is dark, made out of the stone of EbonAskavi similarly to the rest of the Keep. It's a peaceful place, with a standing shower, large bathtub, and functional vanity. This is where Witch can have a type of spa-treatment and find herself completely rested and comfortable.


The Gardens

SPOILER: Click to show

Description
Witch also has her own private gardens. This area includes a pond for meditation/reflection, small stepping stones, natural plants, and small animals that live naturally in these types of habitats. There may or may not be fish in the pond. This is where Witch can come to rejuvenate the land, rejuvenate herself from the land, and become close to the land that's only for her. This is perhaps the most tranquil of all the Keep's spaces.

Guest Areas
There are guest areas (bedrooms and bathrooms) in the Keep. It can (rather comfortably) sleep a thousand people, not including servants' quarters. Consult Draca and Geoffrey for a guest bedroom/bathroom and enjoy your visit at the Keep; though be sure not to overstay your welcome.
