Upon entering the valley through the great marble gates, you find yourself overlooking a virtual paradise. There is a garden, surrounded by individual courtyards, and a waterfall behind the palace. The base of the valley has fields of clovers, and a path, leading up to the door of the building. The tigers on either side of it are marble, and are only there for decoration.
The garden is mostly devoted to roses, though it has other sections for other flowers. There are orchids, lilacs, pansies, geraniums, and many other types in their own areas. Off to the left off the garden is a small palace-like house. It's three stories, and has gothic-style columns, and bay windows with balconies.
The first story houses two different types of restaurants. One fancy, one casual. It also has a bar, and a Chef's Kitchen. In the West wing of the downstairs, there is a training room, with all sorts of weapons to spar with, or just equipment to work out on, if that is your Forté. Or, for the more advanced learners, Locke has offered the usage of his Training Room in another Dimension. Just step through the secondary door and you will be teleported there.
The second floor has rooms for the guests, that appear to be dorm rooms almost. They have a Twin bed, a desk, dresser, and a small couch. Each pair of rooms has a shared bathroom, complete with shower, sink, and toilet.
The third floor has the Suites. Mini houses for the Owners and workers. Each Suite has it's own tiny kitchen/diningroom combo. It includes a toaster, microwave, stove, sink and dishwasher, and a mini fridge. It also comes with a livingroom area, with a couch, a high backed chair, and a TV/DVD combo. The Suite comes with it's own bathroom, complete with Sink, shower/bath combo, and a stackable Washer/Dryer setup. And the bedrooms come with a walk in closet, and a king sized bed.
The windows overlook the garden to the East, the Mountains and Waterfall to the North, the Valley to the South, and Gardens and Sky to the West.
The waterfall that appears behind the house is silent, but still runs, year round. There is almost always a rainbow arching across it, and it never seems to go anywhere, but the water pools up into a lake. There is a cave entrance behind the waterfall, only accessible by walking around the lake, and across a tiny ledge.
It is in here that the real treasure is. Kris has made it into a tiny spa-like place. There's a hot tub, a Jacuzzi, and three or four swimming pools of varying sizes. Off to the left of the pools is a sauna that is over a real volcanic fault line. There are no worries about an eruption though.
The rest of the tiny area around the palace is covered in shadows, for the giant walled courtyards that fill it. There are eight of them, and they all form a box around the garden. Each courtyard has two tables, a few benches, and a few trees in them. The benches and tables are made of stone, but feel like real couches when you sit on them. One of them, in the back, by the lake, has a river running through it. The trees have a way of creating shade, if you need it. The breeze blows softly across the yards.
Beyond the courtyard's five-foot tall walls is a rolling field. This leads to shadows at the bottom of the valley. The mountains rise up around the valley, protecting it from the horrible weather, and from enemies.

This is a place of sanctuary, and there will be NO fighting in it. It's a safe haven for those who need it. The only rule is, do not start anything, and there will be no problems.
