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

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.
The bar area of the lounge.
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.
