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. The north wing rings with the sounds of running water, and splashing. The sound is so great, that it drowns out all distant sound, sonically cutting the wing's three areas off from one another. Only the extremely adept at hearing beyond a single area. (Note: extremely adept does not include canines and felines. It requires precise hearing, not a superior sense of hearing.
1. The west entrance:The west entrance is between two square pillars that stand between a water trench on the north, and a water trench on the south. The water flows in from the aqueducts north west,( http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=24734951 ) to the west of the entrance and flows along side the walls, as it makes it's way east. The north and south walls continue east about six to 12 feet and at each east corner, is a fountain. The the two fountains are each wolf's head on the side of a round pillars, facing to the west. The wolf heads poor water from their mouths into basins built around the pillars, below. The basins both overflow and pour the water over their front. in between the fountains and the two pillars at the entrance, there is an archway in each of the north and south walls. Inside each archway is a statue of an anonymous Werewolf. 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. They shine their light upon the water in the trenches and the pathway between them gradually narrow to about six feet, as it approaches the fountains, where it connects with a bridge. There is no floor on the bridge's south side and the next floor down can be seen from up here and some of the water from the the bridge's south west fountain pour down there, to water the ferns and other brush down below.

To the north side of the bridge is a pool of water that begins at the north wall, about nine feet away, and is about eighteen feet long, from east to west, with a waterfall that's flowing down into it curtaining the entire nine foot span of the pool's west wall. There is an archway in the pool's north wall, by the waterfall that holds another illuminating Werewolf statue that shines it's light upon the water, which runs under the bridge, where it pours down into the second basement, watering the plants. Some of the water from the bridge's north west fountain also pours into the pool. The bridge is about twelve feet wide . There is a three foot wide trench of water in each side of the bridge that carry water across the bridge to the other side, rendering the bridge's walkway only six feet wide and about twenty one feet long. There are three square pillars along the inside of the length of the bridge's south trench that securely link the bridge to the ceiling, in addition to round pillars that are built into the north side of the bridge and stand along it's length. The two round pillars each have a wolf head fountain facing south, which pour their water directly into the bridge's north trench. The The water of basins of the fountains on the west end of the bridge overflow into the north and south trenches and flow across the bridge, to the east end, where there is another matching pair of wolf head fountains that are identical to the ones on the west end, only they face east instead of west, and their basins over flow into the trenches on the east end of the bridge, which turn outward, with the north trench turning north, and the south trench turning south. In between the two trenches at the end of the bridge, the walk way gradually widens to about twelve feet, before finally connecting with the area that holds the north wing's grand fountain. (2)
2. The North Wing's Grand Fountain:
In the center of this area 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 east, as if to confront those approaching the bridge behind her. As on looks up inter her face, she appears to be looking down at them, with kindly benevolent eyes, as if looking at one's own child.
The water trench behind her on the north side of the bridge heads north for about twelve feet then, turns east along the north wall and continues on for about twenty one feet, into the east entrance area.(3) there is a square pillar standing inside the corner of the trench, where it turns east and there is a matching pillar about six feet away, directly to the east. In between these two pillars, there is an archway in the north wall, that houses an illuminating Werewolf statue that shines it's light upon the water that continues to flow east, passing another archway and Werewolf statue that sines it's light on the water, about three feet away from the last pillar. Beyond that point is the east entrance.(3) The trench on the south side of the bridge, behind the grand fountain turns south and continues on for about nine feet and turns east, flowing along the south wall for about twenty one feet and then turns north for about eighteen feet, before finally turning east, into the east entrance area.(3) There is a square pillar standing inside the trench, where it turns east, over by the bridge. About twelve feet east from there, is another square pillar, and between these two pillars, there is an archway in the south wall that houses another illuminating Werewolf statue that shines its light on the running water, and just east from there, in the corner, where the trench turns north, is another wolf head fountain with a basin, facing north west and pouring it's water into the trench below. Just north of there, stands another square pillar, inside the trench, and another wolf head fountain with a basin, in the corner, at the entrance to the east entrance area,(3) facing west.
fifty four feet, and then disappears under the east wall.
3. The East Entrance: The west end of this era that connects with the grand fountain area(2) is right between two square pillars that each stand in one of the trenches of water that flow along side the north and south walls. The trench on the south side is twice as wide as the trench on the north with the pillar standing near the walkway, and the pillar on the north side stands against the wall. About six feet east from the pillar on the north side, another square pillar stands inside the trench, with an archway in the wall between the two with an illuminating Werewolf statue shining on the water; and a wolf head fountain across from the pillar, inside the south trench. The fountain has two wolf heads One facing west, and the other facing east. The north trench splits, where the wolf fountain stands, with one end three foot wide end turning south, through the wall, and pouring down into the next floor down; and the other end, also three feet wide, continuing on west. Both trenches continue east for about another twelve feet, each passing by a archway with an illuminating Werewolf statue that shine it's light on the water, after about nine feet, then through another pair of square pillars, before finally disappearing beneath the east wall. The doorway to the aqueducts north east stands between these last two pillars.( http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=24737527 )
