[Wyvern Keep, Lobby]

Footsteps echo noisily off the red marble floor, the sound amplified by the immense glass-and-oak ceiling that arches high overhead. Carved walnut chairs and polished walnut tables scattered about the lobby do little to reduce the lobby's cavernous impression. A golden pine, twenty feet high, thrives in a circular brass planter in the lobby's center, and hundreds of framed portraits, apparently of famous Ta'Vaalor citizens, occupy the varnished walnut walls. You also see a set of double doors.

Also in the room: Panpiper who is seated, Raschevar who is seated, Lord Morthae, Ilistin, Lady Kahrla who is seated, Thuunk, Lothien who is seated, Janarth who is seated, Garshund who is seated, Argaine who is seated, Mahrekesh, Randem who is seated

[Wyvern Keep, Lobby]

Footsteps echo noisily off the red marble floor, the sound amplified by the immense glass-and-oak ceiling that arches high overhead. Carved walnut chairs and polished walnut tables scattered about the lobby do little to reduce the lobby's cavernous impression. A golden pine, twenty feet high, thrives in a circular brass planter in the lobby's center, and hundreds of framed portraits, apparently of famous Ta'Vaalor citizens, occupy the varnished walnut walls. You also see the Gadever disk and a set of double doors.

Also in the room: Tholn, Gadever who is seated, Lady Xeldria who is seated, Garshund who is seated, Thuunk, Raschevar who is seated, Lady Kahrla, Lothien who is seated, Janarth who is seated, Argaine who is seated

[Wyvern Keep, Lobby]

A gleaming, red marble floor extends at least a hundred feet to the east, its shiny surface reflecting the sunlight that pours through the glass panes high overhead. White marble columns shot with gold veins support an oak framework two stories up, and large metal baskets filled with trailing ivy and climbing roses hang from the oak mesh. Immaculate, carved walnut chairs occupy places around the lobby near walnut tables polished to a mirror-like sheen. You also see a carved marble archway.
