Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nzld" data-source="post: 2681329" data-attributes="member: 37407">Actually, my titles for the attachment may be leading to the confusion... the images are for the entire underground portion of the covenant, not an individual magu's sanctum. The four "living quarters" are the individual sanctums of the magi, which I have designed in a three-room manner, so that they have a lab area, a personal living area/bedroom, and an antechamber which can either be used to receive guests (and, thus, not part of the sanctum), or as a third chamber for personal use (and, thus, part of the sanctum).The "laboratory" is the council chamber and the three "storage rooms" are the vaults of the covenant. These, I envision, would hold mundane wealth, vis, magical devices, and perhaps other items of an arcane nature such as extra lab equipment, writing supplies, etc. for the immediate use of the magi. These are not storage rooms for the covenant proper into which servants would be allowed to come and go. In fact, I envision that the council chamber would be completely off-limits to any non-magus, unless specifically escorted by a magus, or attending an actual council meeting. I have not built living quarters for grogs or companions below, as they will live above ground in the main house. At best, a guard room could be built at the top of the stairs to thwart uninvited intruders, and, as you say, magical traps would be nice.However, depending on how the charter is made, and whether we have mundane officials, there could be an additional room or two added along the main hallway for them. And I haven't fully worked ouot any ideas for secret passages to and from the external cliffside, or the "magical guard room" I mentioned in a previous post.  Those would all exist further below the sanctum level, with stairwells leading down to them.Just FYI: With the current design, the main floor of the sanctum rests approximately 9m below ground level, with the initial stairwell foyer at about 4.5m below. The spiral staircase is centered on the tower of the main house and, I envision, would have a secret and/or magical entrance to thwart unwanted attention.P.S. I chanegd the names of the attachments so they are clearer.</blockquote>
