[QUOTE="Velmont, post: 2871713, member: 13739"] [B][SIZE=4]Buildings[/SIZE][/B] [B]Arena[/B] Among the largest and oldest building of the city stands the arena in the old city. This arena can accept easily two thousand persons confortably. In high events, there is seldom some wooden tribune added that allow the capacity to be raised over three thousand persons. The arena have been build long time ago for the pleasure of the people. With time, a number of events died, following wars. In the last decade, the city have decided to restore the arena and some events starts to take place again. The council also have stated that they could use it to make important public annoncement to the population, but they never use that right. The inside field of the arena cover an area of 40 feet by 80 feet. All the permanent tribune are made of stone and surround on three sides the field. The forth side is the entrance of the field with two large oak door, and over, the rich loge. Next to the arena is a building that connect directly to the arena and the two large oak doors. This building is used by the entertainers or competitors to prepare themselves before the show. [B]Blacksmith's Guildhouse[/B] The guildhouse is a large stony building that seems to be out of place compare to all the wooden building in this part of the city. A large arch is closed by two large wooden door reinforced by metal decoration. A small door have been worked into one of the large door. Inside, there is a large hall with marble floor and stone walls. Many great metal work decorate the hall, from armors to shield, weapons, and mundane items of everyday's life. A large stony desk can be seen at the end of the hall. Two corridors starts on each side of the desk. Inside the building are two forges, that are restricted only to members and there apprentices. It is seldom use for training. [B]High Court of Orussus [/B] The High Court of Orussus is the most impressive building of the city. It is situated in the northwestern sector of the old city, near Rivenblight Gate. In pre-human times, this was a temple. Now, if you look at real human history, in most ancient or medieval cities, the largest building in town was either a temple or church of some sort, a palace, a forum (marketplace), a stadium, baths or (near the end of the medieval period) a town hall. The good people of Orussus could have chosen to put the old temple to any of these uses, but they did not. Evidently the rule of law and the institution of the courts is very important to them. The High Court of Orussus sits on a stepped marble base on the northwest corner of the city. In front of the facility is a granite statue of a massive dwarf wielding a huge spiked club in his left hand as if the man was dragging it behind him. The statue is labeled, "In the name of Morg, In Service of Orussus." The court itself is a huge granite work originally a temple for a bastion of good-aligned minotaurs that ruled this region hundreds of years ago. The giant and massive doors, meant to impress, are a sign to their history. The only religious symbols that adorn this simple location now are that of the horn-like columns that act as the superstructure for the domed building, and the statement across the dome written in giant, "Honor be damned, we live to be free." Into the main antechamber, a comfortable seeting arrangement consists of a three fourths crescent of cushioned resting couches. A chandelier made of bronzes sits above, unlit in the daylight hours. [B]Library[/B] The library stands in the clerk ward. This building is holding a large collection of books. The most impressive section is on the history of the city itself. The building is guarded by two town guards during the day. No one can enter the library with weapon or armor, as it is a place of learning, peace and silence. Members have access freely to the library. To become a member, a person have to pay 100 gp. Members can invite non-member to the library freely. Others must pay a fee of 10 gp to be allowed inside for the day. Another restriction apply to anyone who want to enter. The library is a place of knowledge, not of war. All weapons and armor are prohibited. The guards at the entraence watch over it. But it isn't unheard that some people trusted by the library has enter with armor or some discreet weapons. [B]Red Dragon Inn[/B] Around the place is one of the most famous establishments, the Red Dragon Inn. Also there are many rumors, but the Inn keepers refuse to tell the secret of his Inn.
