From the vestibule of the Brugh, passages lead off to the north and the south, as well as into the Great Room. Though called the North and South Stairs, these passages are only partially composed of steps. Some sections run level for long stretches before descending again. The freehold is vast, occupying nearly the entire interior of the mountain. Many parts of it have decayed over the years or have collapsed. Even so, the remaining rooms are more than sufficiently spacious for the needs of the Baroness and her court.
The North Stair is steeper, narrower and more winding than the South, although still well-lighted and easily wide enough for three people to walk abreast. It leads principally to the living areas of the Brugh. The South Stair is made with broad, shallow steps, and is high, wide and straight for ease of moving heavy loads. It is broad enough for mounted horsemen to traverse, and in fact leads to the stables and other working regions of the freehold. Chambers and passages connect the Stairs at various levels, but many other corridors end abruptly, or lead nowhere. It is easy to become lost if one leaves these two major thoroughfares through the mountain.
The following links lead to descriptions of other locations. These are areas available for play, but not supported by their own chat rooms. Use the Dreaming Chat instead. If this idea catches on, watch for other settings to become available throughout the county soon.
