Crossing High Temple/Grove Hall
A small reception hall found along the western path of the Crossing High Temple grounds (RoomID #755068). The name of the hall, Grove Hall, can be found on the plaque outside the building.
Foyer
[Reception Hall, Foyer]
The bright light of glass-chambered lamps in silver sconces along the walls fills the room. Vibrantly colored velvet ribbons streaming down the walls create a riot of color that contrasts sharply against the smooth white marble. Scattered haphazardly along the floor surrounding several low birch tables are piles of velvet cushions in aquatic tones that complement the silvery grey tapestry rugs spread beneath them.
You also see a festive painted archway.
Obvious exits: out.
- The table here is a Donation rack.
Stage
[Reception Hall, Stage]
Smooth walnut boards underfoot and rich blue velvet curtains along the walls make this an elegant nook where minstrels and performers can share their music with those in the ballroom. Wooden chairs sit in neat rows facing the north, each with a silver stand set in front shaped like a lyre. A cleared space made in front of them is framed by multicolored silk streamers that flutter onto the stage.
Obvious exits: none.
- The chair & stand here are Donation racks.
Refreshments
[Reception Hall, Refreshments]
Garlands of richly hued wildflowers braided with ivy hang from the pure white walls, filling the room with a gentle, lingering fragrance. More garlands, woven with blue and silver ribbons that dangle nearly to the polished marble floors, are draped along the edges of the polished rosewood table and bar. Near a festively painted archway leading to the foyer sits a rosewood cart festooned with multicolored streamers and covered with refreshments befitting the god of levity.
Obvious exits: east.

Ballroom
[Reception Hall, Ballroom]
Polished walnut floors spread across the length of this chamber. Chips of lighter wood inlaid in its center form an intricate mosaic, mirrored directly above in a majestic circular skylight set in the vaults of the arching ceiling. Dozens of streamers in aquatic colors hanging to each side of the stage provide a vibrant backdrop for several ornate statues of alabaster fae. Breezes sweeping through open windows into the room stir the silk streamers to surround the statues in their own aerial dance.
Obvious exits: west.
- This area is a Dance floor.
