Ariakis' Neriak Home

This home was created at 3 Walk of the Dead for Ariakis. The dark elf inquisitor doesn't like clutter, flowers, frills, or too much "patternation." Overall this house needed a bold masculine "feel" - which was a hard frame of mind for me to maintain at times. But I have to say, it was refreshing to make a house without lillies in it!The house is sharply divided into two sections - the upstairs, which are the private living quarters, and the ground floor, which is intended for entertaining. Let's start with the upstairs.

Turning around and looking at the room divider towards the bathroom area.

The bathroom area.

And now to the next room, which is a combination master bedroom and garden. He wanted it clean and simple, with a Zen type feel. He wanted flowing lines in the garden and wanted it calming while keeping with the masculinity of the home.

Looking from the bed to the garden. Ariakis especially wanted a soothing water feature.

Now back downstairs. This is the entry hall as viewed from the door. Ariakis wanted his entrance room to be welcoming, yet exude an air of power and affluence. He wanted it to make the statement of the home but at the same time be suitable for formal entertaining.

When space is limited - a two story aquarium. A dragon fireplace in the entrance hall.

To the left is the lounge and kitchen for casual entertaining.

The bar area of the lounge.

Leaving the lounge area and looking out into the entrance hall.

Next is the dining room. Ari envisioned a room where important deals could be worked on at the table in addition to eating, so this room needed to be impressive.

And downstairs is the "Reeducation Room." I didn't post any screenies of this area overall because I don't think my fellow inquisitor would like me giving out the secrets of his work. But I did feel free to show you one wall, which consists of an altar to Innoruuk. I always envisioned Ari having a huge altar to Inny and I really tried to embody that idea in this piece.

Casee - 3 Walk of the Dead - Neriak - Oasis by Gracey

Hello. I am Casee and I live at 3 Walk of the Dead in Neriak on the Oasis Server. I'll be your tour guide (as well as owner of the inn).

Upon entry into the residence you will see my collection of skulls... err a nice place to sit and visit. Forgive the big bare spot on your right as it is waiting to have a piano moved here.

The room to the right has an aquarium and is my hubby's "smoking" room (where he kicks back)

To you left from the entry you will find my kitchen (inspired by all the wonderful decorators in these forums)

several views of the kitchen and OH by the way THANK YOU Sumray (aka Schade) for all your help with those stools and my DISTILLERY!

Close up of the counter tops

One more peek.. ( I call this room... "Fun with Mirrors)

Business area (bah personally I hate business... but my husband thinks it necessary /sigh)

Off to the downstairs herb garden and water reclamation area. With the help of some special lighting I am able to actually grow our own food in our basement.

The water reclamation area (also doubles as a waterfall or 2..)

Hammock

Hey... who has the marshmallows?

and our picnic area

Upstairs now to his room - this room was done with lots of space for him to stash future quest rewards.

and now to my favorite room in the WHOLE HOUSE! My POWDER ROOM!! We share a "privy" complete with reading material. Thanks again Sumray for the incense - it has such a nice smell " width="15" height="15">

View from outside the "powder room" My bedroom and powder room was created with the pastel theme. Pinks - purples and blues are fun to look for!

Shower...it came with the Waterfall shower head - very cool feature!

OH my... caught primping! (I got my big foot "stuck" in the vase taking these pictures but with my friend Sumray's help - was able to get out again). It was def something to see - 2 of us tearing this room apart trying to get me out!

and into the bedroom

Casee keeps a rose for each death she has had and stashes them here

Overview of the whole room - OK who left their coffee cup on the table? hmmmm? /looks around threatingly

Thank you for visiting and everyone is welcome to come see in person - anytime!
