Courtyard - 1 Viewing Kalum Den is a castle-like structure built into the side of the dormant volcano, Mount Vanth. It looks quite big even from the outside, but it extends deep into the mountain itself, making it even larger than it appears. At the front of the den is an open-air courtyard that's used as a place for flights to assemble before they fly. For that reason it's very large. Its floor is made up of worn down stone slabs and it's surrounded by high stone walls with a guarded port-cullis protecting the front entrance. Moderator: Becca |

Entry Hall This is the first room one comes to after passing through the massive courtyard, and it's designed to impress. It's fairly large and very tall, with an arched stone ceiling supported by wooden beams. The walls are bare stone, but at regular intervals tapestries have been hung that depict historic battle-scenes in warm colours. At the far end is a double set of staircases that lead to the floor above. The entry hall is often used as a meeting place, and there are several benches along one wall to give people a place to just sit and chat. Moderator: Becca |

Dining Hall In terms of architectural design, the dining hall is just an enlarged version of the entry hall, though its decoration is different. It contains two long tables, one of which is reserved for high-ranking members of the den and placed along the back wall, while the other runs the length of the side wall and is leaden with food at all hours of the day. There are also a great number of smaller round tables for the den's inhabitants to sit at while they eat. Moderator: Becca |

Kitchens 'The steam room of the den', the kitchens are the powerhouses that keep the den fueled. They run all day every day and are manned by a great number of servants so that food can be supplied to the dining hall whenever it's needed. It's very, very hot in here, a prodcut of the many open cooking-fires. Moderator: Becca |

Corridors Between every room in Kalum den is a series of tunnels and corridors. Some are wide and well-lit, others narrow and dark. It's very easy to get lost in the huge maze, and helpful sign posts have been erected in all the major passage-ways to help out visitors. Moderator: Becca |

Craft Rooms Many inhabitants of the den, riders included, specialise a in certain craft. These rooms were built with the purpose of giving them somewhere to work. There is a room for each of the major crafts in Frinnara; carpentry, tanning, brewing, metal-work and weaving. Moderator: Becca |

Library - 1 Viewing At a certain point in Kalum the walls stop being made of stone bricks and instead become rough and grainy, like those of a cave. This is the point where the castle-like section of the den ends and you've gone into the side of the mountain itself. This particular dark, dusty room is the home of Kalum's extensive book collection, which ranges from historical records to children's stories and are all arranged neatly on a vast forest of wooden shelves. It's lit only by a few unevenly spaced candles, and it's reccomended that one bring one's own light if one wishes to see what it is they're reading. In one corner of the room the shelves thin out and make room for a small collection of ancient armchairs grouped around a small, wooden table. Moderator: Becca |

Riders' Quarters - 1 Viewing Set into Mount Vanth itself are a great many of large rooms with openings large enough to allow their draconic inhabitant in. Each one is decorated to reflect the taste of its occupants, but they're all connected to the main den by a series of corridors and passage-ways. Moderator: Becca |

Apprentices' Dormitory Riders with young dragons, those under two years old, are housed in this large dormitory. It's a homely sort of space, with rugs on the floor and colourful paintings on the wall. Each pair have their own area, with a bed for the rider and a stone 'nest' for the dragon, and each pair is encouraged to personalise their area as much as they can. The whole room is split in two, one side for the boys and one for the girls, and each has their own bathroom. Moderator: Becca |

Candidates' Dormitory - 1 Viewing Much like the apprentices' dormitory but without the dragon nests, this is the living space of those youngsters who still wait for the day they finally bond with a dragon. Moderator: Becca |

Egg Room - 1 Viewing Deep within the heart of Mount Vanth, close to its volcanic heart, is the little room where the eggs are incubated. It's swelteringly hot and smells vaguely like sulphur, but it's nonetheless guarged constantly against would-be thieves or vandals. The guard also has the job of alerting the rest of the den when an egg shows signs of hatching, and he does this using a complicated system of ropes and bells that reaches every part of Kalum. The eggs themselves are arranged on padded wooden shelves against the wall. Moderator: Becca |

Feeding Grounds Mount Vanth has that typical volcano shape, and as such there is a shallow bowl on the top of it. This bowl has been surrounded by fencing and now contains a vast herd of cattle, specifically for the use of the dragons. Usually the dragons prefer to hunt on the wing, swooping down to nab their prey. Moderator: Becca |

Kalum Lake - 1 Viewing This chilly blue lake sits at the base of Mount Vanth and is used by the dragons as a place to bathe. It's roughly circular and large enough for five or six dragons to fit in at once. It's quite shallow around the edges, but in the centre even a dragon must swim to keep his head above water.

Kalum Gardens Kalum den's gardens are well known to the rest of Frinnara, and has taken on an almost legendary status outside the den. They truly are massive, cared for at all hours of the day by a small army of gardeners and containing every sort of plant that will grow in Kalum's chilly climate. It's a good place to come for some privacy, but it's easy to get lost ion the maze-like pathways. Moderator: Becca |

Palace - 1 Viewing Home to Frinnara's royal family, you'd be hard-pressed to find a nicer castle anywhere on Earth. It sits right in the centre of Therem and is the highest point in the city, though it's still dwarfed by Mount Vanth behind. It's made of the same stone as Kalum, and built in much the same style as the Den's outer section. Moderator: Becca |

Inner Circle Home to the richest of the rich, Therem's inner circle is an exhibition of wealth and power. Each house is a small mansion with its own grounds, and expensive carts drawn by the finest horses fill the paved streets. Servants can be seen at all hours, running to and fro with messages for the master whose colours they wear. Moderator: Becca |

Outer Circle A thin fence seperates the outer circle from the inner, but the difference between them is easily noticeable. Here the people are of middle-class; able to make a good living but not quite as rich as those 'inside the fence'. Here the houses are are your typical town-houses, and the roads, whilst not paved with stone, are in fairly good condition. Around the outer cirle is a large stone wall meant to protect the city. Its gates are guarded at all times. Moderator: Becca |

Marketplace - 1 Viewing Every city has its own marketplace, and Therem is no exception. The market runs every day of the week, filling the huge square area with stalls and crowds that are difficult to even move through. Everything can be found for sale here, from food to kitchen tools to items of more dubious purpose. Moderator: Becca |

City Slums Therem may be rich, but that hasn't stopped the slums growing like a rash outside the city walls. The homes here are rickety, lean-to buildings constructed of whatever could be found by their owners. Dirty children run through the narrow streets, doing their best to avoid the steady stream of human waste that pervades everything and turns the air fetid. Moderator: Becca |
