Entering through the guarded doors in the center of the main hall( http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?page=1&t=24695257#372091181 ), one enters into the the very heart of the castle, beneath the central tower. It is dark and the only things that can be seen are huge florescent mushrooms that form steps that spiral down the trunk of the tree in the center leading down to an elevated platform that is enclosed with stone railing and the only source of light is the florescent mushrooms that faintly illuminate the railing like weak torches. The west side of the platform branches out into a half hexagonal balcony that is lit by a mushroom on every corner and acts like stand for the accused it a trial. There is an image of a full moon illuminating the center of the balcony, which is projected from a kind of mirror that is embedded high in the west wall, were in the dark, a great torch of moonfire can bee seen beneath. Judging from the silhouettes, the torch of moonfire appears to sit atop some sort of alter, and the silhouette of the baron can be made out sitting upon a throne-like chair, right in front of the torch, to were it's silver flame appears to burn right above his head. There is another alter and moonfire torch on each side of him, and beside these are each three more sets, that line the north and south walls; nine in total, surrounding the balcony and all of them holding a chair upon which the 9 Alpha lords sit. The eyes of the Baron and the other eight Alpha Lords shine menacingly in the dark making them look malevolent and frightening, and all around the alters, even eyes can be seen, shining in the darkness like stars, and the snarls of the Alpha Lords' personal guard can be heard, and even to the north, one can hear the aggressive purring and screeching of the Wild Lord's two lightningbirds*, Boltclaw and Crescentwind; giving one the sensation that if they make one wrong move, they will all descend on them and tear them apart.... It is truly an intimidating sight... what there is of it...


* Lightningbird is the ancient name by which Icewolves call what is known today known as an Achillobator. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achillobator ) More commonly, but falsely known, as a "Velociraptor"
