help lamaar bay
>>================================ Lamaar Bay ===============================<<
"We did not watch the horizon and our entire continent drowned in blood. We should have seen it coming, we should have acted sooner, we should have..."
-- Hilgraf Aman, formerly of Lamaar Bay
Lamaar Bay is a relatively large cove on the western shore of Teladir. Possessing a relatively wide stretch of smoothly sloping beach and a small but sturdy jetty, Lamaar Bay is an excellent birth for any ship. The high mountains to the southeast and southwest do much to shelter the bay from the storms that so often plague the Teladiri coastline and the beach is broad enough to allow many ships to rest at anchor comfortably.
The most instantly recognizable features of Lamaar Bay are the swirls of blood that linger atop the water and can be found imprinted into the sand. These bloody smears are the remnants of some of the most vicious battles in the history of Lithmeria, their legacies stamped into the very land and ocean. In places upon the beach, gore and gristle can still be seen lying upon the sands, steadily being picked clean by generations of scavengers.
Lamaar Bay owes its bloody history to the Aspalarian invasion in 206 BQ. The Sovereignty forces chose Lamaar Bay as their landing site and Lamaar Bay Fortress as the first test of their military against the natives of Teladir. An important beachhead, vital to the continual deployment of Sovereignty troops in Teladir, Lamaar Bay was contested more fiercely than almost any other stretch of land upon Lithmeria. Waves of Teladiri tribesmen valiantly threw themselves at the Aspalarian invaders, occasionally succeeding in pushing them back into the shallows and toward the ships beyond.
In contemporary times, Lamaar Bay is still one of the key strategic locations in western Teladir. Its smooth, easily scaled beaches and sheltering mountains make it a tempting, if somewhat predictable target for raids and troop landings from the Sovereignty. In the shadow of the Lamaar Bay Fortress, the sands and seagulls wait for the next wave of blood and death to roll in on the rising tide of the Endless Siege.

A rock jetty settled comfortably into the edge of a sandbar. (#160) (693, 492) (Beach)
Skittering along the beach on his many legs is a large brown bay crab. Combing the beach for sand crabs is a black-legged seagull. Custodian Cally Silvanis is here, wielding a twisted glass rod in her left hand and a repoussé kite shield in her right hand.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south and the west.

A narrow jetty of rock in the midst of the ocean. (#159) (694, 492) (Beach)
Because of the depth of the ocean here, this jetty is by necessity wide and tall. Despite the precariousness of its position this far out to sea, however, it appears sturdy. The boulders are gray, but where water contacts them frequently they are covered in green algae. Small pools filled with trapped fish dot the jetty where the high tide nearly engulfed the rocks.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest and the west.

A rock jetting extending from the beach. (#125) (695, 492) (Beach)
Piles of gray boulders have been carefully placed here to lead outward toward the sea, though the path they create is thin and precarious. The jetty has been designed to remain above the waves even at the highest of tides, but slimy moss and algae grow upon the damp sides of the rocks. Seaweed and broken wreckage is caught in the spaces between the stones. Small fish hide from predators in the pools of water in these crevices.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest and the west.

A jetty running out to sea. (#124) (696, 492) (Beach)
Piles of mossy gray boulders have been carefully placed here to lead outward from the beach, though it would take careful balance to walk the path it marks. The jetty has been designed to remain above the waves even at the highest of tides. Seaweed and broken wreckage is caught in the spaces between the stones.

At the end of a rock jetty. (#123) (697, 492) (Beach)
A few boulders are half-buried in the sand here, bits of wood and cloth caught in the cracks between them. Water runs between the stones with the waves that crash ashore, caught in the whirl effect where the tide is caught by the artificial wall into the ocean. Smaller stones are piled between the bigger, anchoring boulders. The beach dips where sand has been pulled away by the ocean.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest and the west.

Near the center of a windswept cove. (#120) (697, 491) (Beach)
The beach sweeps out from here in a smooth curve, like a half-circle cutting into the coastline. A nearby jetty of boulders stretches out into the ocean. A few seashells adorn the sand with flecks of white, many of them broken. The beach slopes up sharply, forming a dune to the east where the wind off of the ocean has pushed the sand.

A narrow beach below sheer cliffs. (#105) (695, 486) (Beach)
The smooth, golden-brown sand here is slick and wet. Sheer cliffs line the back of the beach. There are only a few feet of dry sand, where the water does not usually reach even at high tide. Medium-sized rocks, ranging from pebbles to the size of someone's head, dot the beach.

An outcropping of stone above the edge of the beach. (#104) (696, 486) (Cliffs)
This section of the cliff is remarkably sheer. The edge is sharp and abrupt, with little evidence of erosion. In contrast, the ground here is rocky and lifeless. A huge outcropping of sandstone shaped somewhat similarly to the head of a shark is here. It looks almost as though it is breaking out of the waves like a dolphin, for no fin is visible.

Tall cliffs overlooking a sandy beach. (#107) (697, 487) (Cliffs)
Because of the height of the cliffs here, the beach below appears uniform. It is difficult to make out the thin lines of shell that mark the high-water marks below, for they fade into the golden-brown hue of the sand. Up here, the limestone is a much less appealing medium-gray. The stone is mostly flat, but bears pockmarks and gouges that prevent it from being smooth.

Above a cliffside nest. (#110) (697, 488) (Cliffs)
A small outcropping of sandstone juts up from the limestone cliff, the brown hue contrasting with the medium gray of the ground. A few tufts of grass grow where the two stones meet, in patches of dirt blown here and caught against the vertical mass. A nest of sticks, mud and feathers is tucked into a crevice in the sandstone. It appears abandoned, with only a few broken eggshells remaining.

A limestone cliff looking down at the beach. (#113) (698, 489) (Cliffs)
The cliff here has a gradual incline down to the beach. Though it is much steeper than a hill, and would be difficult to scale, it is not sheer like many of the cliff faces in the surrounding area. A few scraggly trees have embedded themselves in the sparse soil here, choking out any competing forms of life. They don't offer much shade, but they provide the only nearby elevated perches for the local avian population.

Amongst reeds growing in the sand. (#116) (698, 490) (Beach)
The tides of the ocean almost never reach this high up the beach. Tall reeds grow here, secure where the salty water of the violent sea will never wash them away. The reeds are brown and hollow, with feathery brown tufts at the tops.

Amongst reeds growing in the sand. (#116) (698, 490) (Beach)
The tides of the ocean almost never reach this high up the beach. Tall reeds grow here, secure where the salty water of the violent sea will never wash them away. The reeds are brown and hollow, with feathery brown tufts at the tops.
There is an exit to the northwest, east, southeast, south, southwest and the west.

Amidst beach grasses. (#122) (698, 492) (Beach)
Sand blown eastward by the wind off of the ocean has formed a hill of sand here. Clumps of marram grass grow upon it, stabilizing the tall dune. The grasses grow to about knee-height in the dry, grainy sand. They are primarily tan in hue, matching the sand, though some have a fresh, greenish color to them.

The reeds growing along this part of the beach have been cut back to allow for shorter marram grasses to grow along the edges of each patch of tufted reeds. Nothing grows along the narrow strip of sand atop this dune, where so many footsteps have trod the way from beach to plains that not even the hardy arid grasses have been able to gain a toehold of survival.

The sharp edge of this cliff is home to a few scraggly patches of grass and not much else, thought he plant life appears relatively healthy. The stone, though predominantly a bland, middle-gray in color, has streaks of other hues through it. A pale, chalky white coloration distinguishes the edge of the cliff from the flat expanse on either angle extending from it. Brownish bands can be distinguished along the cliff face, and the flat land up here is scattered with rocky dirt of the same hue, indicating a common source.

The harsh rock of the cliffs has been tamed here to form a smooth and well maintained highway heading off to the southeast. At regular intervals, distance markers have been erected to allow one to measure progress. A line of impenetrable cliffs block all passage off the road to the southwest and to the northeast a steep drop discourages exploration. Further to the southeast, the road curves away as a new line of cliffs emerges to make southward passage impossible.

help lamaar bay fortress
>>================================ Lamaar Bay Fortress ===============================<<
"Sails on the horizon means blood on the walls..."
-- Contemporary proverb
The fortress that overlooks Lamaar Bay is a squat, two story construction carved into the walls of the mountains that surround it. Guarding the tactically pivotal bay beneath it, the Lamaar Bay Fortress is a point of the highest strategic significance to both factions. With the original structure dating back centuries, the contemporary keep is actually the result of generations of modifications, renovations and improvements at the hands of dozens of different artisans and tacticians.
To reach the fortress from the beach, one must traverse a narrow path wedged between the cliffs. Approaching the gates of keep, attackers find themselves trapped between two sheltered ballista platforms carved into the stone of the mountains. The gates and corridors beyond are deliberately narrow, allowing defenders to funnel their attackers and limit any numerical advantage. A series of hidden, one way doors have also been carved into the walls of the mountain above the path approaching the fortress gates, allowing defenders to sally forth into the rear of the besieging force.
The ground floor of the keep houses the central barracks, sally tunnel, kennels and the stairs leading to the top floor and the basement stores. The storehouse below the keep contains all manner of foodstuffs, supplies and sundries that allow the castle to survive even the lengthiest of sieges in relative comfort. The top floor of the keep houses the central hall, where stands the throne of the Lord or Lady of Lamaar Fortress, their bedroom, the armoury, servant's quarters and an additional barracks.
The Lamaar Bay Fortress was the scene of the very first direct confrontation between Sovereignty forces and the Teladiri. Since then, it has seen dozens of sieges both successful and unsuccessful as the factions vie for control of the vital bay. The Fortress has changed has so many times that there are now several administrators within which simply work for whomever happens to be in control of the fortress at the time. So low is the life expectancy of a partisan administrator and so highly valued is their expertise in the day to day running of the fortress that both factions have accepted this arrangement.

A well maintained road through the cliffs. (#2651) (701, 496) (Road)
Curving to the east and northwest, this road appears well traveled. In excellent repair, the cobbles nevertheless show signs of passage by heavily laden wagons. Further to the east, cliffs rise up to flank the road on either side. Immediately to the southeast a cliff rises upward. A rectangular stretch of cliff to the southeast seems somehow too regular, as if man-made.

To the north and northeast the cliff-faces begin to show extensive signs of human activity, as a pair of towers rise upward on either side of the path.

Before the gate of the Lamaar Fortress. (#2653) (703, 496) (Road)
The road lying to the west narrows here so as to fit through the wide gate of the Lamaar Fortress to the east. To the north and south the natural cliffs have been reinforced with bricks and mortar so as to be almost impenetrable. All cover has been cleared before the gate, turning it into a killing ground for an attacker attempting to breach the gate. From above, a pair of towers loom over the road, both with large slits through which projectiles can be launched at enemies below. The fortress itself seems to be constructed of much the same material as the cliffs themselves, rising upward as an imposing mass of grey stone.
The Lamaar Fortress Gate stands here, reinforced with steel.

A small, cramped room obviously designed to funnel invaders who had managed to breach the gates, this gatehouse offers little in the way of furniture. The walls are of grey brick, smaller than the massive slabs of stone that form the walls of the fortress. On the north wall a tapestry depicts a vicious battle with lines of soldiers crossing blades while fireballs arch overhead from the fingertips of magic users. On the south wall a tapestry shows the opposite scene, tranquil smiling farmers depositing bales of hay into the hands of laughing fortress servants.

The central corridor of the Lamaar Fortress. (#2655) (705, 496) (Building)
A wide corridor through the Lamaar Fortress, this room clearly helps to form the primary artery for goods and individuals working within the fortification. Furnished in a sparse, marshal style, the corridor is lit by a series of torches hammered into the wall, likely so they cannot be seized and used as impromptu weapons. To the north and south, smaller corridors branch off the main hallway. A ballista has been etched onto a small wooden plaque and hung above both passages. To the west, the corridor narrows before culminating in the tactically small gatehouse. To the east, the corridor continues straight ahead before intersecting with another corridor in the distance.

Northern ballista balcony. (#2660) (703, 495) (Building)
This balcony was designed with the singular purpose of housing a small rotatable ballista. A pair of wooden tracks run along the southern edge of the semi-circular balcony allowing a ballista mounted on these tracks to be moved smoothly. The balcony looks as if it's been kept deliberately free of anything that might get in the way or interfere with the work of a gunner in the midst of battle. Above, rows of pavises have been erected and cunningly painted so as to resemble the cliffs around them. These shields serve the dual purpose of protecting the ballista crew from arrows and hiding them from view. Below and to the west, the road heading toward Lamaar Fortress is visible far into the distance.

Stairwell north of the main hallway. (#2658) (705, 495) (Building)
This small stretch of narrow corridor branches off the hallway to the south and turns to run parallel to it in a westward direction. Lit by a pair of torches, the walls are completely unadorned save for a small mirror in the upper northeast corner angled to allow vision around the sharp bend. The walls themselves are constructed of small grey bricks worn smooth by hundreds of shoulders brushing past.
There is an exit to the south and the up.

Stairwell south of the main hallway. (#2661) (705, 497) (Building)
Accessible from the main hallway via a small archway to the north, this circular stairwell rises steeply upward. Almost completely unadorned save for the flickering torches that provide illumination, this stairwell was plainly constructed with functionality and not aesthetics in mind. In several places the grey walls are slightly scratched, as if something heavy and cornered was allowed to scuff them.

Top of the southern tower. (#2662) (704, 497) (Building)
A circular room wider than the stairwell leading up into it from below, this chamber was obviously designed to support the maintenance and operation of a siege engine. The southern part of the room is home to a number of crates stacked haphazardly, each containing dozens of large ballista bolts. To the east a pile of various parts, logically belonging to a ballista lies stacked against the wall. The southern part of the room has been used as a living quarters by someone with fairly lax discipline. Dirty bowls and unwashed laundry is present on the floor and on the pair of bunk beds standing against the southern wall.

Southern ballista balcony. (#2663) (703, 497) (Building)
This balcony was designed with the singular purpose of housing a small rotatable ballista. A pair of wooden tracks run along the southern edge of the semi-circular balcony allowing a ballista mounted on these tracks to be moved smoothly. The balcony looks as if it's been kept deliberately free of anything that might get in the way or interfere with the work of a gunner in the midst of battle. Above, rows of pavises have been erected and cunningly painted so as to resemble the cliffs around them. These shields serve the dual purpose of protecting the ballista crew from arrows and hiding them from view. Below and to the west, the road heading toward Lamaar Fortress is visible far into the distance.
There is an exit to the east.

Ground Level Barracks (#2672) (706, 495) (Building)
A large room clearly designed to house a unit of troops, this barracks is appointed in a strictly military fashion. Against the eastern and western walls stand double rows of identical bunk beds. Closer to the north wall is a small communal area where off duty soldiers can eat or relax when not on duty. The lighting here is kept deliberately dim so as to allow troops to sleep in relative comfort. A pair of shuttered lanterns hang in the north part of the room. Next to each bunk stands a pair of chests where each soldier can store personal belongings. In addition, racks where weapons can be stored are present at six key points around the room.
There is an exit to the south.

Stretching away to the northeast, this hallway is richly appointed and well furnished. A thick red carpet lies on the floor easily absorbing the sounds of footsteps. The walls are paneled with beautiful brown wood and paintings hang every few steps. The portraits are varied, some of them scenes of hunting and war while others are portraits and landscapes. All are of the highest quality. Hanging on the walls near the ceiling and bathing the corridors with soft light are intricately wrought lanterns of iron. To the southwest a small, highly unremarkable door has been crafted so as to be almost invisible against the wood paneling of the wall.

Carved into the rock of the cliffs themselves, this tunnel leads to the southwest. The tunnel appears solidly constructed and well reinforced with small grey bricks, along with cross beams of timber to shore up the roof. Every dozen steps a new torch burns on alternate walls, providing adequate light to see where one is going. To the northeast, a small door separates this tunnel from the rest of the fortress.

Carved into the rock of the cliffs, the walls of this tunnel have been extensively reinforced with a combination of small grey bricks and wooden beams. On one of the beams a long forgotten vandal has carved a small heart and the name of their beloved. On alternate walls torches light up the tunnel, spaced far enough to provide adequate if not plentiful light.

A well built section of tunnel that which curves from the east to the northwest, this passage way is illuminated by a combination of natural light filtering in through the east and torches along the walls. Constructed by digging through the rock of the cliffs themselves, this tunnel was subsequently smoothed out and reinforced with bricks and timber beams. Though the floor is bare someone has taken the time to see that it is sanded or ground smooth and straight. A breeze constantly blows through the tunnel from the northwest making the torches flicker.

A sally port above the road. (#2668) (702, 497) (Building)
Cunningly hidden within the cliffs overlooking the road, this chamber is a sally port designed to allow defenders to leave the fortress circumventing the main gate. The walls of the room to the northeast, north and northwest have been perforated with small slits that allow someone to peer out without being seen. These slits also allow fresh air and light to pour in from outside. To the north and northwest, chutes have been constructed to allow a defender to slide down and out onto the road via a canvas sail that disguises the chute from attackers. The chutes look as if they are constantly oiled to make sliding down easy and climbing up impossible.
There is an exit to the southeast, an oiled chute to the northwest and an oiled chute to the north.

Curving to the east and northwest, this road appears well traveled. In excellent repair, the cobbles nevertheless show signs of passage by heavily laden wagons. Further to the east, cliffs rise up to flank the road on either side. Immediately to the southeast a cliff rises upward. A rectangular stretch of cliff to the southeast seems somehow too regular, as if man-made.

Along a road approaching Lamaar Fortress. (#2652) (702, 496) (Road)
Wedged between two cliffs to the north and south, this road winds its way between the east and west. To the north and northeast the cliff-faces begin to show extensive signs of human activity, as a pair of towers rise upward on either side of the path. Southward, the cliff face contains a flat section that appears to have been worked before being partially obscured by shrubbery. The road itself is well paved but shows signs of extensive use.

Before the gate of the Lamaar Fortress. (#2653) (703, 496) (Road)
The road lying to the west narrows here so as to fit through the wide gate of the Lamaar Fortress to the east. To the north and south the natural cliffs have been reinforced with bricks and mortar so as to be almost impenetrable. All cover has been cleared before the gate, turning it into a killing ground for an attacker attempting to breach the gate. From above, a pair of towers loom over the road, both with large slits through which projectiles can be launched at enemies below. The fortress itself seems to be constructed of much the same material as the cliffs themselves, rising upward as an imposing mass of grey stone.
The Lamaar Fortress Gate stands here, reinforced with steel.

Lamaar Keep Gatehouse. (#2654) (704, 496) (Building)
A small, cramped room obviously designed to funnel invaders who had managed to breach the gates, this gatehouse offers little in the way of furniture. The walls are of grey brick, smaller than the massive slabs of stone that form the walls of the fortress. On the north wall a tapestry depicts a vicious battle with lines of soldiers crossing blades while fireballs arch overhead from the fingertips of magic users. On the south wall a tapestry shows the opposite scene, tranquil smiling farmers depositing bales of hay into the hands of laughing fortress servants. To the east a corridor leads deeper into the fortress.
The gate winch stands here, handle ready to be turned.

A wide corridor through the Lamaar Fortress, this room clearly helps to form the primary artery for goods and individuals working within the fortification. Furnished in a sparse, marshal style, the corridor is lit by a series of torches hammered into the wall, likely so they cannot be seized and used as impromptu weapons. To the north and south, smaller corridors branch off the main hallway. A ballista has been etched onto a small wooden plaque and hung above both passages.

Located within the opulent hallway that stretches from the southwest to the northeast, the staircase that leads below is plain and functional. Constructed of grey stone but with railings of dark brown wood, this staircase has been made deliberately wide to allow servants carrying heavy burdens to work their way down safely and without fuss. The corridor itself is well appointed with rich brown wood paneling covering the stone of the fortress walls. Just above the staircase to the cellar hangs a large picture of a laden banquet table. To the west an arch labeled 'Beast Kennels' rises above the entrance to a small room. Squinting to the northeast it is possible to make out the end of the opulent corridor as it culminates in a beautiful staircase rising to the second floor of the fortress.

Before the Lamaar Fortress Kennels. (#2671) (707, 495) (Building)
This small room was obviously constructed to service the pair of kennels to the northwest and northeast. The room is separated from the kennels by a set of thick iron bars that look as if a section of them is built to collapse into the floor. Spread around the room are the tools of animal rearing and husbandry. On the wall to the west hangs a large collection of wickedly spiked animal collars. A bucket and mop stands against a wall, clearly intended for mucking out the kennels.
A large wooden lever marked 'kennels' juts out from the wall. Blongar, the kennel master, stands here wearing heavily padded clothing.
There is an exit to the northwest, northeast and the east.

Northeast Lamaar Fortress Kennel (#2674) (708, 494) (Building)
A large square room designed for the housing of vicious animals, this chamber is sectioned off from the rest of the fortress by iron bars to the southwest. The bars are thick and solid but a section in the middle appears as if it is capable of detaching and sinking into the floor below. The floor is covered in a mixture of food scraps, straw and animal waste. Mold growing on the flagstones indicates that at least some nominal effort has been made in the past to douse the floor with water.
There is an exit to the southwest.

Northwest Lamaar Fortress Kennel (#2673) (706, 494) (Building)
Designed to hold large beasts of uneven temperament, this kennel is separated from the rest of the fortress using a grill of iron bars which block passage to the southeast. The bars appear almost monolithic except for a small section toward the middle that's been designed to sink into the floor and allow passage out of the kennel. Straw has been piled up against the eastern wall here, though someone or something has disturbed the pile and spread it over a larger area. The smell of rotting meat and excrement is strong here and the floor contains plentiful evidence that animals spent considerable time confined within this kennel. Light filters in from the torches located on the southern wall of the room to the southeast.
There is an exit to the southeast.

p blongar
A short man with a perpetually frightened expression on his face, Blongar does not inspire confidence as the caretaker of the Lamaar Fortress beasts. Dressed from head to toe in chainmail that's been heavily padded with layer upon layer of cloth, Blongar appears to be peering out from within a fortress of his own. The padding looks to have come in handy however, as numerous tears in the cloth indicate that teeth have found their mark in the past. He carries a small spear that appears woefully inadequate when one considers the size of the animals he deals with routinely.

Above a staircase into the cellar. (#2669) (708, 495) (Building)
Located within the opulent hallway that stretches from the southwest to the northeast, the staircase that leads below is plain and functional. Constructed of grey stone but with railings of dark brown wood, this staircase has been made deliberately wide to allow servants carrying heavy burdens to work their way down safely and without fuss. The corridor itself is well appointed with rich brown wood paneling covering the stone of the fortress walls. Just above the staircase to the cellar hangs a large picture of a laden banquet table. To the west an arch labeled 'Beast Kennels' rises above the entrance to a small room. Squinting to the northeast it is possible to make out the end of the opulent corridor as it culminates in a beautiful staircase rising to the second floor of the fortress.
There is an exit to the northeast, southwest, west and the down.

Entering the Lamaar Fortress cellar. (#2693) (Building)
Located at the foot of a wide staircase rising up into the fortress proper, this room is cool and only very dimly lit. Excavated from the hard rock of the cliffs on which the Lamaar Fortress sits, the cellar continues for some distance toward the southeast. This section, closest to the staircase, is evidently used to house non-perishable items most commonly used by fortress servants. Stacked in neat rows are mops, cloths and bars of soap. In large neat bundles on wooden shelves jutting out from the walls, clean quilts and bed linens await pickup. Three bowls filled with water sitting upon the floor indicate that the cellar is home to a trio of domesticated animals.

Located below the Lamaar Fortress, this cellar appears to have been designed for the storage of goods and supplies. Cool and dimly lit this room is home to the wine collection of the fortress. Against the walls in specially built wooden nests rest hundreds of dusty bottles. Catalogued by year, the rows of bottles stretch all the way up toward the ceiling. In the southwest corner of the room stand four large barrels labeled to indicate that they hold ale.

On shelves along the walls, dozens of thick binders track the minute by minute stock located within the cellar. Lit much more brightly than the rest of the cellar so as to allow comfortable reading and writing, this room is also heated against the chill by a small oven, chimney disappearing high into the ceiling. Everything about the room bears the touches of a highly organized and perhaps a tad compulsive mind bent on forging perfect order out of chaos.

The dairy room within the cellar. (#2696) (Building)
This room has been designed by the architects of the Lamaar Fortress for the storage of dairy products. The grey bricks that form the walls have been completely hidden from view by large sheets of tin plating designed to keep out rodents and maintain the temperature. Shelves of beaten tin and iron have been constructed against the eastern wall for the housing of great circular cheeses. Against the south wall, great cisterns designed for the long term storing of milk stretch up toward the ceiling. Against the western wall stand the tools needed for the churning of butter as well as several large tubs. The room is unnaturally chilly and a glowing blue rune in the ceiling seems to radiate intense cold.
There is an exit to the north (open door).

To the north a door stands labeled with a neat sign depicting a steak, suggesting that it is the meat storage chamber. To the south a door is marked with a loaf of bread indicating that it is where grain is stored. The eastern wall has been deliberately allowed to remain bare, so as to potentially allow future expansion of the cellar. Soft, flickering illumination is provided by torches that hang down from the ceiling. Scattered around the room in neatly arranged piles are barrels and bags with nonperishable items like nails, salted nuts and firewood.

Meat storage room. (#2698) (Building)
Intensely cold, this room houses the Lamaar Fortress garrison's meat supply. The floor is grated and sluiced, allowing blood to run off without building up. The ceiling is studded with a sea of hooks, all hanging down on chains of various lengths to allow haunches to be hung. The walls are lined with shelves for the storage of already carved animals. Various delicacies are stored in smaller labeled tin boxes on their own separate shelf. A set of butcher's tools hang up on a board on the north wall. The walls of the room have been covered in tin sheeting, likely to preserve the freezing temperature. The cold is unnatural, flowing as it does from a snowflake shaped blue rune etched onto the ceiling.

Grain storage room. (#2699) (Building)
Completely bare of all furnishings this room is simply a bare chamber for the storage of grain. The room is divided in half with a corridor lying in between to allow someone to move about. The east side of the room stores newly harvested grain coming in and the west side of the room stores previously harvested grain that needs to be consumed first. When the outgoing side runs out of grain the two sides switch, creating a crude system of first-in, first-out for the fortress's grain. The grain bags themselves are made of a thick, tough weave so as to discourage rodents. The stray grains on the floor are testament to the less than total success of this dissuasion.

Near a large basin of soapy water stand two groups of plates. One group is of a high quality, inlaid with gold filigree and with fanciful designs etched onto the plates. The other group, likely that of the soldiers and servants consists of much plainer clay bowls and plates. In spice racks against the walls stand small packets of every imaginable type of spice.

Servants quarters. (#2680) (Building)
A plain and unremarkable room, this section of the fortress has been given over to the housing of the servants. Separated by thin wooden partitions into tiny cubicles, each containing a bed, a chest and a small wardrobe, passage through this room is possible only via a central corridor. The beds are plain but sturdy and the bed linen is clean and of high quality. Light is provided only by lamps or candles in each individual cubicle.
There is an exit to the southeast (open door).

Various pieces of armor stand around the room on armor stands waiting to be worn, fixed or adjusted. A chimney has been built into the roof of the room in the southeast corner to allow for the placement of a forge and anvil. In a separate corner of the room stands the equipment used by fletchers in their craft as well as several piles of shafts requiring new arrowheads. Torches placed around the walls provide light.

First floor barracks. (#2678) (Building)
Intended as an area where troops can relax while off duty, sleep and assemble this barracks is simple and functional. Against the eastern and western walls stand two lines of double layer bunk beds. At the foot of each bunk stands a pair of chests where the personal inventory of soldiers can be stored. The north of the room has been left empty of bunks and is instead home to several tables and a wall mounted dart board. The light in this barracks has been kept to a minimum in the southern part of the room to allow soldiers to sleep in peace. The door to the southwest is padded and especially heavy so as to minimize noise from the armory.
There is an exit to the southwest (open door).

Tastefully appointed in an opulent manner, this bedroom has been set aside for the exclusive use of the Lord or Lady of Lamaar Fortress. Centered around the large bed which dominates the room, the other furnishing are constructed of wood trimmed with gold. A large wardrobe holds clothing and accessories, a pair of nightstands hold candles and a small writing desk stands in the corner of the room nearest the windows. The windows themselves stand in place of the entire western wall, allowing unparalleled views of the cliffs and even the ocean in the far distance. A line of portraits on the southern wall depict a series of former Lords and Ladies. In the northeastern corner a small fireplace heats the bedroom and provides light during the hours of darkness.
An elegant bed stands against the north wall here.

help lamaar bay
>>================================ Lamaar Bay ===============================<<
"We did not watch the horizon and our entire continent drowned in blood. We should have seen it coming, we should have acted sooner, we should have..."
-- Hilgraf Aman, formerly of Lamaar Bay
Lamaar Bay is a relatively large cove on the western shore of Teladir. Possessing a relatively wide stretch of smoothly sloping beach and a small but sturdy jetty, Lamaar Bay is an excellent birth for any ship. The high mountains to the southeast and southwest do much to shelter the bay from the storms that so often plague the Teladiri coastline and the beach is broad enough to allow many ships to rest at anchor comfortably.
The most instantly recognizable features of Lamaar Bay are the swirls of blood that linger atop the water and can be found imprinted into the sand. These bloody smears are the remnants of some of the most vicious battles in the history of Lithmeria, their legacies stamped into the very land and ocean. In places upon the beach, gore and gristle can still be seen lying upon the sands, steadily being picked clean by generations of scavengers.
Lamaar Bay owes its bloody history to the Aspalarian invasion in 206 BQ. The Sovereignty forces chose Lamaar Bay as their landing site and Lamaar Bay Fortress as the first test of their military against the natives of Teladir. An important beachhead, vital to the continual deployment of Sovereignty troops in Teladir, Lamaar Bay was contested more fiercely than almost any other stretch of land upon Lithmeria. Waves of Teladiri tribesmen valiantly threw themselves at the Aspalarian invaders, occasionally succeeding in pushing them back into the shallows and toward the ships beyond.
In contemporary times, Lamaar Bay is still one of the key strategic locations in western Teladir. Its smooth, easily scaled beaches and sheltering mountains make it a tempting, if somewhat predictable target for raids and troop landings from the Sovereignty. In the shadow of the Lamaar Bay Fortress, the sands and seagulls wait for the next wave of blood and death to roll in on the rising tide of the Endless Siege.

A narrow jetty of rock in the midst of the ocean. (#159) (694, 492) (Beach)
Because of the depth of the ocean here, this jetty is by necessity wide and tall. Despite the precariousness of its position this far out to sea, however, it appears sturdy. The boulders are gray, but where water contacts them frequently they are covered in green algae. Small pools filled with trapped fish dot the jetty where the high tide nearly engulfed the rocks.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest and the west.

A rock jetting extending from the beach. (#125) (695, 492) (Beach)
Piles of gray boulders have been carefully placed here to lead outward toward the sea, though the path they create is thin and precarious. The jetty has been designed to remain above the waves even at the highest of tides, but slimy moss and algae grow upon the damp sides of the rocks. Seaweed and broken wreckage is caught in the spaces between the stones. Small fish hide from predators in the pools of water in these crevices.

At the end of a rock jetty. (#123) (697, 492) (Beach)
A few boulders are half-buried in the sand here, bits of wood and cloth caught in the cracks between them. Water runs between the stones with the waves that crash ashore, caught in the whirl effect where the tide is caught by the artificial wall into the ocean. Smaller stones are piled between the bigger, anchoring boulders. The beach dips where sand has been pulled away by the ocean.

Tall cliffs overlooking a sandy beach. (#107) (697, 487) (Cliffs)
Because of the height of the cliffs here, the beach below appears uniform. It is difficult to make out the thin lines of shell that mark the high-water marks below, for they fade into the golden-brown hue of the sand. Up here, the limestone is a much less appealing medium-gray. The stone is mostly flat, but bears pockmarks and gouges that prevent it from being smooth.

The cliff here has a gradual incline down to the beach. Though it is much steeper than a hill, and would be difficult to scale, it is not sheer like many of the cliff faces in the surrounding area. A few scraggly trees have embedded themselves in the sparse soil here, choking out any competing forms of life. They don't offer much shade, but they provide the only nearby elevated perches for the local avian population.

Sand blown eastward by the wind off of the ocean has formed a hill of sand here. Clumps of marram grass grow upon it, stabilizing the tall dune.

Sea birds have nested here on the beach, creating rough nests in the sand. The sand is rockier than usual, and more gray than its usual golden-brown hue. It is almost the color of the sheer cliff that runs along the edge of the beach. A few small rocks, heavily scored by the sand, are here on the beach. Downy seagull feathers and eggshells lie beside the stones.
There is an exit to the northwest, north, northeast, southwest, west and the up.

Before a fire pit on the beach. (#133) (696, 495) (Beach)
A deep pit has been dug into the sand here, which has been prevented from falling in or filling up with water by metal bracings. Charred slats of driftwood and planks from a ship are piled up to facilitate a fire. Barrels have been half-buried in the sand to serve as seats. Stick figures have been drawn on the nearby cliff with charcoal.

The edge of a limestone cliff. (#132) (697, 495) (Cliffs)
The sharp edge of this cliff is home to a few scraggly patches of grass and not much else, thought he plant life appears relatively healthy. The stone, though predominantly a bland, middle-gray in color, has streaks of other hues through it. A pale, chalky white coloration distinguishes the edge of the cliff from the flat expanse on either angle extending from it. Brownish bands can be distinguished along the cliff face, and the flat land up here is scattered with rocky dirt of the same hue, indicating a common source.

Determined shrubberies have broken up the gray limestone that makes up this cliff. Cracks are clearly visible in the rock and are partially filled in with rocky brown soil.

The harsh rock of the cliffs has been tamed here to form a smooth and well maintained highway heading off to the southeast. At regular intervals, distance markers have been erected to allow one to measure progress. A line of impenetrable cliffs block all passage off the road to the southwest and to the northeast a steep drop discourages exploration. Further to the southeast, the road curves away as a new line of cliffs emerges to make southward passage impossible.

help lamaar bay fortress
>>================================ Lamaar Bay Fortress ===============================<<
"Sails on the horizon means blood on the walls..."
-- Contemporary proverb
The fortress that overlooks Lamaar Bay is a squat, two story construction carved into the walls of the mountains that surround it. Guarding the tactically pivotal bay beneath it, the Lamaar Bay Fortress is a point of the highest strategic significance to both factions. With the original structure dating back centuries, the contemporary keep is actually the result of generations of modifications, renovations and improvements at the hands of dozens of different artisans and tacticians.
To reach the fortress from the beach, one must traverse a narrow path wedged between the cliffs. Approaching the gates of keep, attackers find themselves trapped between two sheltered ballista platforms carved into the stone of the mountains. The gates and corridors beyond are deliberately narrow, allowing defenders to funnel their attackers and limit any numerical advantage. A series of hidden, one way doors have also been carved into the walls of the mountain above the path approaching the fortress gates, allowing defenders to sally forth into the rear of the besieging force.
The ground floor of the keep houses the central barracks, sally tunnel, kennels and the stairs leading to the top floor and the basement stores. The storehouse below the keep contains all manner of foodstuffs, supplies and sundries that allow the castle to survive even the lengthiest of sieges in relative comfort. The top floor of the keep houses the central hall, where stands the throne of the Lord or Lady of Lamaar Fortress, their bedroom, the armoury, servant's quarters and an additional barracks.
The Lamaar Bay Fortress was the scene of the very first direct confrontation between Sovereignty forces and the Teladiri. Since then, it has seen dozens of sieges both successful and unsuccessful as the factions vie for control of the vital bay. The Fortress has changed has so many times that there are now several administrators within which simply work for whomever happens to be in control of the fortress at the time. So low is the life expectancy of a partisan administrator and so highly valued is their expertise in the day to day running of the fortress that both factions have accepted this arrangement.

A well maintained road through the cliffs. (#2651) (701, 496) (Road)
Curving to the east and northwest, this road appears well traveled. In excellent repair, the cobbles nevertheless show signs of passage by heavily laden wagons. Further to the east, cliffs rise up to flank the road on either side. Immediately to the southeast a cliff rises upward. A rectangular stretch of cliff to the southeast seems somehow too regular, as if man-made.

To the north and northeast the cliff-faces begin to show extensive signs of human activity, as a pair of towers rise upward on either side of the path. Southward, the cliff face contains a flat section that appears to have been worked before being partially obscured by shrubbery. The road itself is well paved but shows signs of extensive use.

Before the gate of the Lamaar Fortress. (#2653) (703, 496) (Road)
The road lying to the west narrows here so as to fit through the wide gate of the Lamaar Fortress to the east. To the north and south the natural cliffs have been reinforced with bricks and mortar so as to be almost impenetrable. All cover has been cleared before the gate, turning it into a killing ground for an attacker attempting to breach the gate. From above, a pair of towers loom over the road, both with large slits through which projectiles can be launched at enemies below. The fortress itself seems to be constructed of much the same material as the cliffs themselves, rising upward as an imposing mass of grey stone.
The Lamaar Fortress Gate stands here, reinforced with steel.

Lamaar Keep Gatehouse. (#2654) (704, 496) (Building)
A small, cramped room obviously designed to funnel invaders who had managed to breach the gates, this gatehouse offers little in the way of furniture. The walls are of grey brick, smaller than the massive slabs of stone that form the walls of the fortress. On the north wall a tapestry depicts a vicious battle with lines of soldiers crossing blades while fireballs arch overhead from the fingertips of magic users. On the south wall a tapestry shows the opposite scene, tranquil smiling farmers depositing bales of hay into the hands of laughing fortress servants. To the east a corridor leads deeper into the fortress.

A wide corridor through the Lamaar Fortress, this room clearly helps to form the primary artery for goods and individuals working within the fortification. Furnished in a sparse, marshal style, the corridor is lit by a series of torches hammered into the wall, likely so they cannot be seized and used as impromptu weapons. To the north and south, smaller corridors branch off the main hallway. A ballista has been etched onto a small wooden plaque and hung above both passages. To the west, the corridor narrows before culminating in the tactically small gatehouse. To the east, the corridor continues straight ahead before intersecting with another corridor in the distance.

Above, rows of pavises have been erected and cunningly painted so as to resemble the cliffs around them.

Stairwell south of the main hallway. (#2661) (705, 497) (Building)
Accessible from the main hallway via a small archway to the north, this circular stairwell rises steeply upward. Almost completely unadorned save for the flickering torches that provide illumination, this stairwell was plainly constructed with functionality and not aesthetics in mind. In several places the grey walls are slightly scratched, as if something heavy and cornered was allowed to scuff them.
There is an exit to the north and the up.

The central corridor of the Lamaar Fortress. (#2655) (705, 496) (Building)
A wide corridor through the Lamaar Fortress, this room clearly helps to form the primary artery for goods and individuals working within the fortification. Furnished in a sparse, marshal style, the corridor is lit by a series of torches hammered into the wall, likely so they cannot be seized and used as impromptu weapons. To the north and south, smaller corridors branch off the main hallway. A ballista has been etched onto a small wooden plaque and hung above both passages. To the west, the corridor narrows before culminating in the tactically small gatehouse. To the east, the corridor continues straight ahead before intersecting with another corridor in the distance.
There is an exit to the north, east, south and the west.

Along the corridor, south of a barracks. (#2656) (706, 496) (Building)
Spacious and functional, this corridor has been kept clean, simple and free of clutter. A set of double doors to the north are labeled as 'Ground Floor Barracks.' The doors open inward and close examination of the handles shows that they have been left almost as knobs deliberately so that nothing can be wedged through them to jam them locked from outside. Further to the east the hallway intersects with another, much more opulent hallway that runs from the southwest to the northeast. Light in this part of the fortress comes from torches built into the walls and from much brighter lamps to the east.

Ground Level Barracks (#2672) (706, 495) (Building)
A large room clearly designed to house a unit of troops, this barracks is appointed in a strictly military fashion. Against the eastern and western walls stand double rows of identical bunk beds. Closer to the north wall is a small communal area where off duty soldiers can eat or relax when not on duty. The lighting here is kept deliberately dim so as to allow troops to sleep in relative comfort. A pair of shuttered lanterns hang in the north part of the room. Next to each bunk stands a pair of chests where each soldier can store personal belongings. In addition, racks where weapons can be stored are present at six key points around the room.
There is an exit to the south.

Beginning of an opulent hallway. (#2657) (707, 496) (Building)
Stretching away to the northeast, this hallway is richly appointed and well furnished. A thick red carpet lies on the floor easily absorbing the sounds of footsteps. The walls are paneled with beautiful brown wood and paintings hang every few steps. The portraits are varied, some of them scenes of hunting and war while others are portraits and landscapes. All are of the highest quality. Hanging on the walls near the ceiling and bathing the corridors with soft light are intricately wrought lanterns of iron. To the southwest a small, highly unremarkable door has been crafted so as to be almost invisible against the wood paneling of the wall.
There is an exit to the northeast, southwest (open door) and the west.

Entering the sally tunnel. (#2664) (706, 497) (Building)
Carved into the rock of the cliffs themselves, this tunnel leads to the southwest. The tunnel appears solidly constructed and well reinforced with small grey bricks, along with cross beams of timber to shore up the roof. Every dozen steps a new torch burns on alternate walls, providing adequate light to see where one is going. To the northeast, a small door separates this tunnel from the rest of the fortress.

The tunnel curves around from the northeast to the west here, continuing westward for some distance. The walls have been smoothed out and solidly reinforced with grey bricks while wooden cross beams have been added to further reinforce the ceiling. Light comes from torches which have been built into alternate walls every few steps. The floor is naked rock which has been ground or sanded down to a smooth finish.

Progressing in a straight line from east to west, this tunnel is well built and well maintained. Carved into the rock of the cliffs, the walls of this tunnel have been extensively reinforced with a combination of small grey bricks and wooden beams. On one of the beams a long forgotten vandal has carved a small heart and the name of their beloved. On alternate walls torches light up the tunnel, spaced far enough to provide adequate if not plentiful light.
There is an exit to the east and the west.

A well built section of tunnel that which curves from the east to the northwest, this passage way is illuminated by a combination of natural light filtering in through the east and torches along the walls. Constructed by digging through the rock of the cliffs themselves, this tunnel was subsequently smoothed out and reinforced with bricks and timber beams. Though the floor is bare someone has taken the time to see that it is sanded or ground smooth and straight. A breeze constantly blows through the tunnel from the northwest making the torches flicker.
There is an exit to the northwest and the east.

A sally port above the road. (#2668) (702, 497) (Building)
Cunningly hidden within the cliffs overlooking the road, this chamber is a sally port designed to allow defenders to leave the fortress circumventing the main gate. The walls of the room to the northeast, north and northwest have been perforated with small slits that allow someone to peer out without being seen. These slits also allow fresh air and light to pour in from outside. To the north and northwest, chutes have been constructed to allow a defender to slide down and out onto the road via a canvas sail that disguises the chute from attackers. The chutes look as if they are constantly oiled to make sliding down easy and climbing up impossible.
There is an exit to the southeast, an oiled chute to the northwest and an oiled chute to the north.

A well maintained road through the cliffs. (#2651) (701, 496) (Road)
Curving to the east and northwest, this road appears well traveled. In excellent repair, the cobbles nevertheless show signs of passage by heavily laden wagons. Further to the east, cliffs rise up to flank the road on either side. Immediately to the southeast a cliff rises upward. A rectangular stretch of cliff to the southeast seems somehow too regular, as if man-made.

Along a road approaching Lamaar Fortress. (#2652) (702, 496) (Road)
Wedged between two cliffs to the north and south, this road winds its way between the east and west. To the north and northeast the cliff-faces begin to show extensive signs of human activity, as a pair of towers rise upward on either side of the path. Southward, the cliff face contains a flat section that appears to have been worked before being partially obscured by shrubbery. The road itself is well paved but shows signs of extensive use.

Before the gate of the Lamaar Fortress. (#2653) (703, 496) (Road)
The road lying to the west narrows here so as to fit through the wide gate of the Lamaar Fortress to the east. To the north and south the natural cliffs have been reinforced with bricks and mortar so as to be almost impenetrable. All cover has been cleared before the gate, turning it into a killing ground for an attacker attempting to breach the gate. From above, a pair of towers loom over the road, both with large slits through which projectiles can be launched at enemies below. The fortress itself seems to be constructed of much the same material as the cliffs themselves, rising upward as an imposing mass of grey stone.
The Lamaar Fortress Gate stands here, reinforced with steel.

Lamaar Keep Gatehouse. (#2654) (704, 496) (Building)
A small, cramped room obviously designed to funnel invaders who had managed to breach the gates, this gatehouse offers little in the way of furniture. The walls are of grey brick, smaller than the massive slabs of stone that form the walls of the fortress. On the north wall a tapestry depicts a vicious battle with lines of soldiers crossing blades while fireballs arch overhead from the fingertips of magic users. On the south wall a tapestry shows the opposite scene, tranquil smiling farmers depositing bales of hay into the hands of laughing fortress servants. To the east a corridor leads deeper into the fortress.
The gate winch stands here, handle ready to be turned.

To the west an arch labeled 'Beast Kennels' rises above the entrance to a small room.

Northwest Lamaar Fortress Kennel (#2673) (706, 494) (Building)
Designed to hold large beasts of uneven temperament, this kennel is separated from the rest of the fortress using a grill of iron bars which block passage to the southeast. The bars appear almost monolithic except for a small section toward the middle that's been designed to sink into the floor and allow passage out of the kennel. Straw has been piled up against the eastern wall here, though someone or something has disturbed the pile and spread it over a larger area. The smell of rotting meat and excrement is strong here and the floor contains plentiful evidence that animals spent considerable time confined within this kennel.

A short man with a perpetually frightened expression on his face, Blongar does not inspire confidence as the caretaker of the Lamaar Fortress beasts. Dressed from head to toe in chainmail that's been heavily padded with layer upon layer of cloth, Blongar appears to be peering out from within a fortress of his own. The padding looks to have come in handy however, as numerous tears in the cloth indicate that teeth have found their mark in the past. He carries a small spear that appears woefully inadequate when one considers the size of the animals he deals with routinely.

Constructed of grey stone but with railings of dark brown wood, this staircase has been made deliberately wide to allow servants carrying heavy burdens to work their way down safely and without fuss. The corridor itself is well appointed with rich brown wood paneling covering the stone of the fortress walls. Just above the staircase to the cellar hangs a large picture of a laden banquet table. To the west an arch labeled 'Beast Kennels' rises above the entrance to a small room. Squinting to the northeast it is possible to make out the end of the opulent corridor as it culminates in a beautiful staircase rising to the second floor of the fortress.
There is an exit to the northeast, southwest, west and the down.
Cally follows you.

Entering the Lamaar Fortress cellar. (#2693) (Building)
Located at the foot of a wide staircase rising up into the fortress proper, this room is cool and only very dimly lit. Excavated from the hard rock of the cliffs on which the Lamaar Fortress sits, the cellar continues for some distance toward the southeast. This section, closest to the staircase, is evidently used to house non-perishable items most commonly used by fortress servants. Stacked in neat rows are mops, cloths and bars of soap. In large neat bundles on wooden shelves jutting out from the walls, clean quilts and bed linens await pickup. Three bowls filled with water sitting upon the floor indicate that the cellar is home to a trio of domesticated animals.
There is an exit to the southeast and the up.

Within the Lamaar Fortress cellar. (#2694) (Building)
Located below the Lamaar Fortress, this cellar appears to have been designed for the storage of goods and supplies. Cool and dimly lit this room is home to the wine collection of the fortress. Against the walls in specially built wooden nests rest hundreds of dusty bottles. Catalogued by year, the rows of bottles stretch all the way up toward the ceiling. In the southwest corner of the room stand four large barrels labeled to indicate that they hold ale.
There is an exit to the northwest and the east.

Cellar records room. (#2695) (Building)
The administrative heart of the cellar, this room holds the records for all goods housed within. On shelves along the walls, dozens of thick binders track the minute by minute stock located within the cellar. Lit much more brightly than the rest of the cellar so as to allow comfortable reading and writing, this room is also heated against the chill by a small oven, chimney disappearing high into the ceiling. Everything about the room bears the touches of a highly organized and perhaps a tad compulsive mind bent on forging perfect order out of chaos.
A writing desk stands here, piled high with various records. A simple wooden chair sits by the writing desk. Immaculate uniform free from a single spec of dust, Lambrook the Head Clerk presides here.
There is an exit to the east, south (open door) and the west.

The dairy room within the cellar. (#2696) (Building)
This room has been designed by the architects of the Lamaar Fortress for the storage of dairy products. The grey bricks that form the walls have been completely hidden from view by large sheets of tin plating designed to keep out rodents and maintain the temperature. Shelves of beaten tin and iron have been constructed against the eastern wall for the housing of great circular cheeses. Against the south wall, great cisterns designed for the long term storing of milk stretch up toward the ceiling. Against the western wall stand the tools needed for the churning of butter as well as several large tubs. The room is unnaturally chilly and a glowing blue rune in the ceiling seems to radiate intense cold.
There is an exit to the north (open door).

A fork in the cellar. (#2697) (Building)
The easternmost point of the Lamaar Fortress cellar, this room is where the cellar branches off to the north and south. To the north a door stands labeled with a neat sign depicting a steak, suggesting that it is the meat storage chamber. To the south a door is marked with a loaf of bread indicating that it is where grain is stored. The eastern wall has been deliberately allowed to remain bare, so as to potentially allow future expansion of the cellar. Soft, flickering illumination is provided by torches that hang down from the ceiling. Scattered around the room in neatly arranged piles are barrels and bags with nonperishable items like nails, salted nuts and firewood.

Meat storage room. (#2698) (Building)
Intensely cold, this room houses the Lamaar Fortress garrison's meat supply. The floor is grated and sluiced, allowing blood to run off without building up. The ceiling is studded with a sea of hooks, all hanging down on chains of various lengths to allow haunches to be hung. The walls are lined with shelves for the storage of already carved animals. Various delicacies are stored in smaller labeled tin boxes on their own separate shelf. A set of butcher's tools hang up on a board on the north wall. The walls of the room have been covered in tin sheeting, likely to preserve the freezing temperature. The cold is unnatural, flowing as it does from a snowflake shaped blue rune etched onto the ceiling.
There is an exit to the south (open door).

Grain storage room. (#2699) (Building)
Completely bare of all furnishings this room is simply a bare chamber for the storage of grain. The room is divided in half with a corridor lying in between to allow someone to move about. The east side of the room stores newly harvested grain coming in and the west side of the room stores previously harvested grain that needs to be consumed first. When the outgoing side runs out of grain the two sides switch, creating a crude system of first-in, first-out for the fortress's grain. The grain bags themselves are made of a thick, tough weave so as to discourage rodents. The stray grains on the floor are testament to the less than total success of this dissuasion.

A tall, rake thin man in a spotlessly clean uniform, Lambrook is the very image of the high ranking servant. His face is long and thin, featuring a strong nose and almost no chin whatsoever. His mouth is a thin line and it seems unlikely that he has ever smiled. His uniform consists of black pants below a matching jacket and an immaculate white shirt. Though he holds a quill in his hand, his fingers are completely free of ink stains.

The end of the corridor which stretches away to the southwest, this room is dominated by a large opulent staircase. Unlike the rest of the fortress's masonry the staircase employs beautiful marble rather than the grey stone of the surrounding cliffs. The lush red carpet that runs the length of the southwest corridor continues up the staircase and disappears out of sight above. In addition to a pair of exquisitely carved lanterns that sit at the base of the railings, the staircase is illuminated by a chandelier that hangs high above.

Near a large basin of soapy water stand two groups of plates. One group is of a high quality, inlaid with gold filigree and with fanciful designs etched onto the plates. The other group, likely that of the soldiers and servants consists of much plainer clay bowls and plates. In spice racks against the walls stand small packets of every imaginable type of spice.

At the foot of each bunk stands a pair of chests where the personal inventory of soldiers can be stored. The north of the room has been left empty of bunks and is instead home to several tables and a wall mounted dart board. The light in this barracks has been kept to a minimum in the southern part of the room to allow soldiers to sleep in peace. The door to the southwest is padded and especially heavy so as to minimize noise from the armory.

The Lord's bedchamber (#2683) (Building)
Tastefully appointed in an opulent manner, this bedroom has been set aside for the exclusive use of the Lord or Lady of Lamaar Fortress. Centered around the large bed which dominates the room, the other furnishing are constructed of wood trimmed with gold. A large wardrobe holds clothing and accessories, a pair of nightstands hold candles and a small writing desk stands in the corner of the room nearest the windows. The windows themselves stand in place of the entire western wall, allowing unparalleled views of the cliffs and even the ocean in the far distance. A line of portraits on the southern wall depict a series of former Lords and Ladies. In the northeastern corner a small fireplace heats the bedroom and provides light during the hours of darkness.
An elegant bed stands against the north wall here.
There is an exit to the east (open door).
