In this case, the only thanks goes to me, as I've been able to explore on my own most of the private rooms of My Order, and peek into the one I couldn't enter. This entry will be a bit longer than usual as it includes, appart from the main room, the voting room, the senior wizard's office and a glimpse of his bedroom (these last three very similar for all the different orders, I guess).
This is the lounging area of the Ancient and Truly Original Sages of the Unbroken Circle. A crescent table sits in the middle of the room and large leather chairs sit around its outer rim. A fire crackles gently at the cusp of the table offering its cool luminescence to the room. On the east side of the room, a large tapestry covers the wall, and displays four separate panels, each of which depict one of the four mundane elements. A small chest rests at the very bottom of the tapestry.
A small octarine eye, hovering in the middle of the room, watches you.
There are three obvious exits: north, west and south.
l table: This table is lovely. It has carvings representing the four elements, in a sort of four-way yin-yang. You're not sure how it manages to fit together, but it certainly represents the balance of the elements. On the top stands a small bulletin board.
l chairs: These are over-sized, over-stuffed chairs. Much like your common wizard. They are covered in a sleek and well-worn leather. Truly a testament to the quality of wizard that would sit here. Or a testament to his rear. Well, six of one, half-dozen of another, really.
l cusp: This is the inner rim of the table.
l fire: Along the inside of the of the crescent of the table is a fire gently flaming away within a well kept firebowl. Softly, the stones built up in the centre of the bowl glow and illuminate the room. The fire gives up no heat, however, and seems to be perfectly safe. This might come as a strange idea, if it weren't for the fact that it is in the order room of the Ancient and Truly Original Sages of the Unbroken Circle.
A small plaque is mounted to the side of the firebowl.
l walls: The walls are wooden and mostly plain, save for a tapestry which hangs from one wall, covering it completely.
l ceiling: There is nothing unusual about the ceiling. Except, maybe, that its been allowed to stay.
l tapestry: A tapestry in four parts; the upper right corner is a panel of fire, next to this is a panel of water, below that is a panel of earth, and finally, a panel of wind. Each panel is mounted on a black background and each is appliqued in a unique yet appropriate fabric.
l panels: These are each appliqued in multiple layers of unique fabric. The elemental scenes depicted are so realistic and vivid, one might find him or herself attempting to enter the actual tapestry to become one with the elements.
l floor: The floor is made from high density wood.
You open the west door.
This room holds only an open book and a pen on a small table.
There is one obvious exit: east.
A sign is here.
l book: The book looks highly magical, to your trained eye. Nothing is written on the open pages. A golden quill lies beside the book.
l quill: A golden quill. It looks ancient, marked with the grime of thousands of years of wizards' hands.
You open the north door.
This is the office of the Senior Wizard of the Ancient and Truly Original Sages of the Unbroken Circle. Its main feature is a large oak desk, overflowing with papers and books. Behind the desk sits a large, intricately-carved rolling chair, while a bookcase is against the east wall. Two small, uncomfortable-looking chairs sit in front of the desk. To the north is a small door, and to the south another door leads into the Order common room.
There are two obvious exits: south and north.
l desk: The desk is a wonderfully carved old piece of furniture. It's hard to tell this, though, because the top is so cluttered with papers and memos. On the desk is a small paperweight, as well as the tools for writing all sorts of memos.
l memos: Boring administrative stuff.
l paperweight: It looks like one of those snow-globes that are found without fail in souvenir shops. However, instead it has swirling inside it water, fire, sand, and air, in equal parts, constantly moving and creating beautiful patterns of the elements.
l chairs: A fine leather rolling chair, with a sagging seat that attests to being the home of many a Senior Wizard. The two small chairs look like the type that schoolchildren being punished would relate to. They're meant to make you as uncomfortable as possible.
l bookcase: The bookcase is filled with such titles as "A Dissertation on Air", "Uses of the Empyrean Element", and “Fifteen Fun Earth Spells”.
You open the north door.
It is open.
This is the bedroom of the Senior Wizard of the Ancient and Truly Original Sages of the Unbroken Circle. It's mostly occupied by a large four-poster bed, although there is a small wardrobe too. The door to the office is south.
There is one obvious exit: south.
