Welcome to Gaia! ::

Upon entering through the city gates, an abundance of noises can be heard. Vendors showing their wares, patrons laughing at jokes or telling stories in boistrous voices, or a city guard telling someone to stop. A thin layer of dust from the street covers everyones' feet. The main street is the widest leading up to the castle winding its way through the jumble of buildings. The most grand of these buildings are right next to the main road. Houses, taverns, inns, and many varieties of stores. Many other roads spread off of the main road, some almost as large as the main road and narrow alley ways with shadowy figures peering around corners. As you move along with the crowd of people sights unheard of are everywhere, smells from bakeries and butchers, succulent and mouth-watering. All the way to stables, taverns, and smithies, old, foul and burning. Nobles and beggars walked the same streets. Guards in parties of 3-5 patrolled the city, wearing different color bands on their arms. The closer to the castle you got the more grand the buildings became. The castle gate guard wore the birghtest and best armor and bore the highest rank of all the guards. Sunlight glinted off of their weapons and armor. The atmosphere inside the castle gates is much quieter but no less busy than out in the city. The few buildings that covered the space between the castle and its gate were the most extravagant, built buy the best stonemasons with architecture unmatched. Merchants sold the most rare and valuable items from far away lands. The stairs leading to the catsle doors was wide and stretched with guards every twenty feet along its length.The first floor of the castle is a grand dining hall. Grand tapestries hung from the ceiling. The second floor had offices of important people from all over the land. The third floor held all training rooms and weapons. The basement held all the supply rooms, the kitchens, and the dungeons. The fourth and topmost floor held the living quarters of the royal family.
