As you walk from the south and from the main front double door, you find yourself in a huge tall walled large lobby, the walls decorated with dark crimson tapestries of various themes and wooden (appliques murals/wall lamps, some lamps deliver a dim light, some would use actual electricity but others use oil or candles to deliver their light.). The Ensemble looks rather baroque at first sight and very welcoming. For beings who did live in Europe around Shakespeare’s time, or during Victorian more recent, much more austere, but hypocritical behind the walls times, that place does definitively look like home. For younger beings with mere recent times ‘American culture, it makes no sense. On the opposite side of it you can see the North bar and the spiraled staircases area.
It looks more than just a typical bar, even though there are many areas to lounge, and there are even various styles of armchairs and tables, picture it is sans bookshelves above when you look at that pic.
From the first floor you get onto a loggia that runs of both west and east sides of the main lobby. On the west part of it, you have several of the clan offices, and a large corridor that gives into some of the rooms, and hidden somewhere is a small stair that gives into the area where you can access the cabins. That requires you having to head outside and round in the park, the best cabins have a view directly on the lake Michigan… of course, it’s an accommodation best liked in summer than in winter with the typical rain and snow. For the poor fuckers (souls, but what worth are souls?) who decide it is a great idea to move to that specific spot in the world and are willing to pay for it instead of getting a gold bridge for accepting it, it’s possible to book an hotel room or one of those cabins.
There is a massive stairway leading up to the other floors...in the main gathering hall, on the inside closer to the corridor is the east and west offices on the wall.
If one is walking into the main gathering hall and just entering, we'll say you're on the south side..to your right, along that wall would be the east office..left, west..the north bar is straight ahead and it has the spiral staircases on either side going into the upper and the sub levels..there's another bar on the west side, not as big as the north bar.
Finally, there is a roman style indoor pool past the threshold of the west wall, and a grotto area with many interconnected caves & more grottos through the threshold on the east wall.
