Courtyard
[Theren Guard Headquarters, Courtyard]
Wild grape vines spider the base of the battlement-capped walls that surround the sprawling, well-tended grounds. Amid neatly trimmed hedges, alabaster statues of armored knights line the broad flagstone walkway that traverses the courtyard and encircles a sunken marble pool, a towering gryphon sculpture at its center. A pair of semi-circular marble benches provides a leisurely place to chat or to simply take in the beauty of the landscape. Built within the eastern wall is the two-story riverstone Order house, it's ironwood double doors bearing ornately crested shields, while a nearby arbored archway leads further into the area.
You also see some towering iron gates and a marble birdbath.
Obvious paths: none.
Active Items
Softly lit by the nearby statues, the network of vines creates a shadowy web that spiders to the tall riverstone walls. Several tenacious clusters still cling to their stems, while others have begun to wither, signaling the coming winter.

Looking as though the knight just stepped from battle, the Human male bears a brawny build, his hair neatly cropped with slight grin nearly disguised by a full goatee. Dressed in full chain mail, he stands resolute with his gauntleted fists steepled over the glowing gaethzen-bladed greatsword planted before him.

Exquisite ocean-blue marble streaked with veins of gold lines the sunken pool, a small school of colorful koi fish gliding fluidly through the crystal clear water. An intricate mosaic worked into the bottom encircles the sculpture with the words "Justice not Law, Deeds not Words".

Towering at the center of the pool, the majestic alabaster creature is poised upon its hind legs with its broad wings spread, as if ready to take flight. Beyond the curled beak, the beast's eyes are set with large Gemfire rubies that shift like flames of a fire as they catch the light. Intricate detailing from the extended talons on the raised forelegs to the minute features of each feather make the sculpture a breathtaking work of art.

Masterful artistry upon the backrest of the white marble depicts a flowing scene of warriors engaged in varying degrees of battle, each donned in Order crested tabards. Intricately detailed gryphons provide addition support at both ends of the bench, adding to the grandeur of the seating.

Constructed of white riverstone, the multi-level house bears a towering stone portico entrance that flanks the ironwood double doors with squared columns, the dormer overhead displaying the Theren Guard crest in bas-relief. Worked into the southern wall is a cylindrical turret, its conical roof supporting a fluttering crimson pennant at its tip.
|
The sturdy wood of the entrance is reinforced with black wrought iron studs and elongated hinges. Polished crimson marble shields adorn both doors, each crested with opposing rampant gryphons holding a rose in one talon and clenching a flowing streamer in the other that reads "Justice Not Law, Deeds Not Words".
They are open.

Sweeping over the broad archway, the rich copperwood arbor is detailed with spiral-fluted trim while redolent purple clematis vines interlace the crosshatched latticework. Topping the fixture is a magnificently carved, roaring lion's head surrounded by a flowing banner that reads "~ Baron Jeladric Theren Memorial Arena ~".
|
Set within thick walls of riverstone capped with ornate battlements and beneath a fortified barbican, the tall gates bear twisted steel bars capped with razor-sharp points. Cast in gleaming silver, a massive rampant gryphon crests each side of the double gate, facing each other with their wings spread wide behind them. Near the arched apex is a row of florid, metal letters that read "ORDER OF THE THEREN GUARD".
They are open.

The base of the bath has been chiseled to resemble a trio of gryphons, their wings extended to cradle the broad basin overhead.
