T
he Sovereign’s Keep is constructed of old architecture, with rounded domes and arched doorways. The white contrasts starkly with the otherwise dark demeanor of Denocte; and the bright blue seems nearly offensively brazen in the doorways and windows; the originally architecture’s believed the color would keep the bad spirits and demons away. The entire aura of the Sovereign’s Keep is mysterious and mystic, with twisting stairwells that seem to lead nowhere and gardens full of crystals and amethyst, growing as if flowers. Despite rain or shine, the white of the Sovereign’s Keep never tarnishes. Most days, the gardens of the Keep are open to the Court to visit; even the Keep itself often opens the towering blue doors in order to host festivities and field questions.
There are rumors since Sovereign Ira’s arrival, however, that the shadows seem just a little livelier; the darkness flickers as if opaque firelight. The doorways seem to lead toward what one might never expect; a pure mountain spring opens up in a large living quarter; a forest in a room of windows; faceless statues that seem to move and blink. In a city of darkness and magic, the Sovereign’s Keep does not disappoint.
Banners of black silk, decorated in silver dust for Caligo’s stars, are strung across the opening courtyard ; a snarling wolf curled around a crescent moon, the Sovereign’s chosen sigil, beats the wind beneath it.
*The Sovereign’s Keep is open to interactions! Members may be as creative as they would like. The external appearance of the Keep is inspired by Santorini whereas the inside of the Keep changes for the viewer!
