[QUOTE="Sodalis, post: 243174, member: 1791"] [I][ooc] you are on the fifth floor- the messenger is waiting downstairs as he is forbidden to come past the forth. i will assume you descended the stairs...[/ooc] A man dressd in long white robes stand before you. His headdress accented with a large phoenix quill. His clothes magnificent and glimmering. His minstrel is dressed impressively, though more colorful. A purple outfit, accented with gold trim. His horns made of brass and accented with gold rivets. he stand to the side in attention, careful not to utter a word. "Message for the great Vriseya."
