Agonistes - North Freeport Manor - Nektulos

Agonistes is one of the other co-leaders of my guild Retribution. He hates to decorate, I love to decorate. So he asked me to pop by and see what I thought of his place (knowing of course I would move everything around.. that evil dark elf knows me too well) So we got him a kitchen, a chem lab, dining room, plushie display, music area, bedroom, a fountain garden with a waterfall, and moved his weapons around a bit for wall art.

Gnadia's Stronghold

The Deverry's have taken on their first decorating job, outside of the immediate family. Due to her distate for Freeport and it's citizens, Donilla agreed to to let me, her cousin Devigia, decorate Gnadia's home at #1 Integrity Road in West Freeport (Atonia Bayle).

This humble slave would like to present her paltry efforts on behalf of her master Gnadia. Forget that, we TierDal are slaves to no one, regardless of how my cousin presumed to make bargains with me as collateral. She will 'learn' her efforts are not appreciated. Be that as it may, I am non the less happy with my efforts to bring some order to the home of this gnome. While not complete, efforts are sufficiently well along to allow me to share. What Gnadia thinks is irrelevent.

You enter into the main living area. This is meant to be a more or less public space and will have various seating areas placed within. For now, only the main area by the fireplace is completed. The muscians balcony is visible above the fireplace and will used for future festivities.

To your left is where the Gnome conducts business. Since I've haven't seen her in some time, I have to assume she is out enjoying herself and does not have time to produce merchandise. The dust on the crafting stations would seem to support this notion.

Proceeding on to the game room, there are two card tables set up for a little gaming, two shelves filled with curiosities, books, and stacks of scrolls, and a small reading area

Gnadia's favorite color would seem to blue, and she has collected quite a few cnadles and sconces in the hue. Henceforth, the dining room will be refered to as the "Blue Room'. Grab yourself a pint and a turkey leg as we head back to the main room.

Next we will head up stairs, passing the wall displaying evidence of Gnadia's success as a coercer of Freeport. I have to admit I liked Donilla's weapon display, and thus copied it here.

This brings us to the bedchamber. A bit grand for a gnome, but she wanted to sleep in the open (this is Freeport after all) but I felt that complete exposure to the guests below would asking too much of the guests and so enclosed the room with screens, shogi and paneling.

From the bedroom, you can see towards the stairs, and towards the dressing room, my favorite room in the home (the game room is a close second).

Here is Gnadia's private dressing and sitting room. Picture luxurious pillows strewn about, and a hookah in their midst. Rugs will be layered on the floor and on top of the dressing table. Mirrors, ornaments and other objects are packed in the basement, awaiting their placement. But for now, boots are cleaned and ready, drawers are filled with personal items and robes are carefully stored in cedar boxes.

The views from the stairs give you a better idea of the overall space.

As soon as Gnadia pays the rent, I'll be continuing my work on the garden, living room, dressing room and musican's gallery.

These pics are out of order due to the difficulty I have working with this blog setup. My blogging skills aren't very skilled. But I wanted to get these pics posted and I'll put the rest up when I get home and have access to updated shots.

The Three Ladies Spa

Nestled in the streets of North Freeport, overlooking the dark waters of Sunken Deep, there hidden Norrath’s best kept secret, a rare gem of the Overlord’s land -

The Three Ladies Spa.

Meet Zindi, Giosy and Tasha, the ladies who run the spa.

When you step through the door, your scarred and aching body will be relaxed by the ambience of the spa lobby.

Please take off your boots, and sit down on our comfy couch.

Or you can sit in front of the fireplace and warm up your freezing hands and feet. The musician will be arriving shortly…

Looks like it's time to check in! Please take a seat and let’s see what program best fits your need. Can't decide what you like? Let’s tour our facilities.

This first spa is designed by Zindi herself specially for those who desire pure luxury and pamper.

Lie down in the heated whirlpool and we’ll serve you whatever drink or food you need. When you are done, rest on the couch for as long as you want.

“Hi I am Giosy. We dark elves do not like brightness, so if you are like me, I've designed this next spa hidden in a cave to be accomodating for your needs."

Natural warm spring water flows down from the heart of the mountains, right into your spa, where it gets tempered with ancient Tier’dal herbs that not only cleanse your body but also, your spirit.

"Bye! Please hollar if you need my service!"

Oh you want to take a look at the third facility? You guess right, it is designed by Tasha. There she is!

“Well hello! Purrr…. Hummmm nothing like taking a nap in the warm sun. Aye, we Kerrans do not like water. So I have designed this sundeck for those who would rather bathe in the sun.

“You get your own private deck with fluffy pillows, soft rugs, and even a shady tree-house style porch to take a nap in! There are a few fun toys for your entertainment even...So what fancies you, adventurer? We'll arrange it right away!”

So how was your spa?... That's what we like to hear! Now come on down to the basement and we’ll give you the massage of your life time.

Done with your massage? You look all refreshed! Please come sit down and have a cut of hot tea in our tea house! Let the fragrance of the tea clear your mind of all the troubles outside!

Ahh time flies, dusk is approaching.

Our pool side barbecue will begin in 20 minutes. Please let our staff take care of you. Come sit at the bar and order your drinks.

Or listen to some light music next to the fireplace.

Hungry? No problem! It looks like the barbecue has started.

Is it time to leave? Don't forget to come by our gift shop and take a piece of the tender, love and care of the Three Ladies Spa with you.

Farewell, adventurer! Take care of yourself out there and call again!
