I was pondering a variant of this http://www.lomion.de/cmm/liviwall.php from 2nd edition ravenloft. It might be more interesting to make the starting area more normally and pondering adding the living wall as a research plot point to be handled though. I'm plotting my area and entertainment sections inside it.<br/><br/>Some of my ideas for items or sections might need vetting. I'm working on the wording now since they combine a handful of things from the book of vile darkness in there. I'm kind of leaning towards the magic user/necromancer theme and mixing looks into the twisted necromancer greeting area with side sections for actual living and research in built more for comfort than intimidation.<br/><br/>Edit: So pale, I just noticed you named your place<em>Nymphae Avernalus</em>. Now, I could be wrong but what is that? The labial entrance to hell after nymphae for the inner labial and Avernalus for Avernus as the ancient lake leading to hell? Like Hell's Vagina or something?
