It's cool, moist and dark down here, in the aqueducts. The air is damp, wet, and echos. The sound of running and trickling water fills the air and even the sound of footsteps are amplified by the cavernous tunnels.
1. The South West Tower Basement: This is where the descending mushroom stairs winding down the tree in the center of the South West Tower( http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=24704705 ) finally stop. The room is small and dark, but also adequately illuminated. The floor is only a small island of stone tiling that surrounds the tree, surrounded by a trench of water. The north, south, and west walls each have twin archways, with a werewolf statue standing between each of their three square pillars. The werewolf statues are all identical and have no distinguishing characteristics. Their hands are held at chest level, with their palms turned up and their fingers spread apart, but loosely curled. Their palms are lined with fragments of broken and crushed moon crystal that burn constantly with lunar energy, making the statues appear to be holding silver flames in their hands that faintly illuminate the otherwise pitch black tunnels, with a soft silvery light. The statues' s backs are also ablaze with crystal fragments as well. the south west and north west walls have no arches and join the these three walls together and the south east and north east walls slant out eastward, toward each other, and stop with about fifteen feet between them, where the west end of the corridor(2) begins. The water that surrounds the island flows in along the south and north walls of the east end of the corridor, guided by trenches to loop around the tree and drain under the west wall of the tower basement, and the light from the statues shine upon these two streams.
2. The Corridor:The west end of the corridor begins at the east entrance to the basement of the South West Tower(1) and extends eastward, about fifty seven feet, before making a turn, north. Both walls are lined with four archways, each with an illuminating Werewolf statue inside, shining their silver light upon the water running along side the walls. The hallway stops just in front of another such archway and statue. The corridor then turns north about thirty three feet and ends at the fountain.(3) The hall The walls of the hall are each lined with two more archways with illuminating werewolf statues that shine upon the trenches of water that run along the walls. Because of the echoing sound trap-like state of the tunnels, one can hear what is happening at both the fountain and the tower basement,(1&3) while standing were the corridor turns west and north. But, when standing at the fountain,(3) or in the South West Tower's basement(1); one can only hear as far as the bend and no farther.
3. The South West Fountains: At the north end of the corridor is a square chamber lined trenches of water. The room's south exit is large, about fifteen feet wide, with trenches of running along the walls. The trench that runs along the corridor's west and north walls reaches all the way from the north west corner of the room, where there is a fountain shaped like a wolf's head on the side of a round pillar, that pours water from it's mouth into the trench. But this is not where the water starts. The trench actually comes from under the north wall and the water from the wolf fountain only joins with the stream. It then runs along side the west wall, flows down the corridor(2) and into the South West Tower's basement,(1) where it runs down a drain in the west wall, to water the tower's tree.
across the room, in the south west corner, is another identical wolf head fountain that pours from the its mouth into a quarter circle basin, built into the south and west walls. The basin is overflowing and the water spills down into the trench below. there is also another such fountain, with it's pillar built into the west wall, sightly left from the center. This one pours into a half-circle basin that is built into the wall, which overflows into the trench below. in between this fountain, and the one in the north west corner, is an archway that holds and illuminating werewolf statue that shines its light upon the water in the trench. Straight across the room, from this archway, is another such archway and statue that shines it's light upon another trench that runs along the east wall. Between these two lights is a grand fountain that looks like beautiful woman, or goddess.
She is dressed in a kilt and flowing thin garments, like the gods of old are depicted wearing,with elegant sandals on her feet. She is stunningly fair of face with pointed elf-like ears and long flowing hair that is parted in the middle; and her large supple breasts appear to be held by what could be some sort of metal brassier, under her chiton-like top, which is tied at the waist, defining her shapely hips. She also wears a tartan patterned sash over her left shoulder and is decorated with much jewelry. She has a necklace about her neck, with pendants that hang just above her cleavage, and jeweled rings upon her fingers. She is also clad in bracelets and armlets of intricate woven Celtic design, with a beautifully crafted headdress with elegant hanging strands decorated with what might be pearls and decorative antlers. She wears it under her hair, so that the crown can only be seen on her brow. She is tall and towering, and stands in a ring of vertical water spouts, facing to the south. As on looks up inter her face,m she appears to be looking down at them, with kindly benevolent eyes, as if looking at one's own child.
Between the two trenches, in the north east corner, is the north exit. a doorway that leads to Kaiser's Chamber, which is named for the statue of Maximum Kaiser that stands in the center.

The east exit is in the south east, just around the corner, from the south exit, just past another wolf head fountain that stands on the left of the exit. the fountain has a fill circle basin that overflows into the trench below. the east exit inter into the aqueducts south wing.( http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?page=1&t=24737519#372874825 )
The west exit is between the south and middle fountains on the west wall. It is a doorway that is decorated with intricate Celtic markings and opens to some descending stairs. There is a small bridge that passes over the trench in front of the stairs, to allow access. The stairs lead down into a narrow hallway that leads to the bath.
