Thread: Bluestone Mansion

I have restarted this building over a thousand times. This was the last time I restarted it and so far, overall I am happy with. Though I admit it looks better in CC3 than it does in png format.

I only have a few rooms completed so far. I have the main/throne/ball room, the Solarium, the study and the kitchen. I still have many more rooms to add, as well as the second floor and the basement.

I currently have it set to a Oak floor, but as I do each room I will be changing the floor of the room as appropriate. The hallways will probably be the black marble texture that comes with CC3 (or DD3 or CD3, not sure which it came with)

The Main room has a big glass dome and their is a balcony going around the side walls, and the bottom wall. I made the balcony section but I currently have them hidden. That is why those pillars have that shadow, so if I show the balcony, the pillars will be hidden but they will have a shadow darker than the balcony's so I remember thos pillars are there. Though I will probably not show the balcony, until I finish the map I am going to keep those shadows like that.

After a generation or two the family became more and more an important part of the royal court and moved out of Bluestone to the City of Bassiack, Capital of the Kingdom of Bassiack and none have been back since. Most have forgotten who owns the Mansion and it has fallen into disrepair. It also believed by those in the Town of Bluestone to be Haunted.

The truth of the matter is the Royal Family, and it's proper owners have wanted people to forget who owns it and to stay away because it is actually a safe house for the Royal Family incase of war or attempted coup. Each member of the Royal Family wears an amulet which will immediately teleport them to the basement of the mansion.

Though some creatures, mostly rats, have moved into the broken down mansion the things that are "haunting" it are various magical protections left to protect it from intruders. The Royal Family's amulets give them control of these protections (mostly animated objects). A second type of amulet was made for the most trusted members of the court which will protect them of the protections and let them move through the manson without setting off these traps
