## Ravanelli Estate

### Floor Plan and Descriptions

- 2nd/3rd Floor
  - Cloakrooms
    - There are 3 Cloakrooms at the front-section of the Foyer.
    - Each is 1 story tall, with small windows near the ceiling.
    - Each have cabinets with coat-racks along the longer wall, with a few shelf lines below where guests can leave hats and other forms of clothing.
    - A shoe rack is also included separately.
    - A couple of stools for the guests to sit down at when changing is also included, alongside a few mirrors to guests to check their appearance, as well as making the rooms look larger and more luxurious.
    - The walls are plastered and painted in beautiful patterns.
  - Foyer
    - Immediately upon entering on the 2nd floor, you enter a huge Foyer.
    - The Foyer is 2 floors tall, though with an Arcade on the half closest to the outer wall. There are stairs going on top of this arcade, creating an elevated walkway and seating area here. There's also some seating area near the center below the elevated arcade. The arcade goes above the cloakrooms, and use them as support instead of relying on pillars.
      - Below the two stairs going up to the Arcade are also stairs going down to the floor below - servants use these.
    - A massive dual staircase can also be seen on the wall bordering the Audience hall, going up to the 4th floor. A massive golden chandelier also hangs in the middle of the room, in front of the dual staircase, with Concalian Crystals encased in glass/crystal.
    - The floor is made out of marble, with fine details engraved in the stone. Panels of Rosenwood cover the walls up to about waist height, intricately carved to create details both in details and depth. The upper brim has a thick brim of Rosenwood, also intricately carved.
      - (the seating area above the arcade also has these rosenwood panels and rail)
      - Rosenwood is a type of wood where the wood itself is a deep mahagony-like red. It is very expensive, and comes exclusively from the Rosenwood further south in Rosella - it is actually what the region is named after.
    - Above the Rosenwood rail, the walls are plastered and painted red a soft cream color, with gold accents in simple patterns.
      - The walls are packed with paintings.
      - On the walls behind and at the sides of the large dual staircases are long rows of portraits of similar looking people (Ducal family many generations back). Central of these images at the moment is a very old lady (the current duchess - Fioretta Ravanelli).
      - Other paintings include paintings of festivals, balls, romantic scenes, scenes from famous Marcandrian plays.
      - There's a painting of Callera dancing at a festival. A painting of Fiori blowing seeds out of her hand that turns into a flower field. A painting of Meranzi looking out over a vast and busy harbor.
      - There are multiple pictures of people - that look like those on the portraits - on locations around the estate.
    - The entire roof of the Foyer is one massive mural - a painting of Alatri seen from above, with three female figures at the edges.
- Gallery Hallways
  - Walls and floor are the same style as the Foyer - light marble floor. Walls up to around waist height are Rosenwood panels, intricately carved and detailed, with a thick rail at the top. soft cream colored plastered walls with gold accents in simple patterns.
    - The thick Rosenwood rail has at several point “handles" on the backside, which work to open the doors to the Servant Corridors that connect to it. These allow the doors to be discreet - and while the edges around the part of the wall that makes out the door is visible, it does not stick out.
  - The walls are also filled with paintings, as well as pedestals with fine art-pieces (pottery, artifacts, sculptures, etc).
  - These are also 2 floors tall. On the side going towards the front of the building are 3 small rooms, which are only 1 floor tall, with stairs going up to a 2nd floor above them. These rooms above have small balconies that protrude back into the Gallery Hallways - that side thus have 3 doors on the ground floor, with a small balcony above each of these doors.
  - Items on pedestals:
    3. Feather from a Planetar's Wings
    6. Fey Relic
    17. Concalian General's Plate Armor - with Will of Concalia Mantle
    18. Ancient Magical Tome
  - Unassigned:
    - 1-12 are more mystical and romantic. Fey-themed, etc
    - 13-24 are more historic, militaristic, scientific, etc.
    - Basically: 1-12 are feel. 13-24 are knowledge/history.
    - Concalian Crystal to Lightsource Prototype
    - 9-12 are Concalian Artifacts
    - 3, 6 are Fey relics.
    - Angel artifact.

- General notes:
  - Walls: Wainscoting and plastered, with painted patterns or entire paintings on the wall.
    - Wainscoting: wooden panels or planks on the lower portion of the walls. Tends to be a lot of details in them. Thick railing at about waist height, intricately carved and made of luxurious wood
    - Wainscoting Depth and Dynamics: The depth created by the panels, along with the dynamics of their design (carvings, moldings, and the overall texture), adds richness and a tactile quality to the room's decor. This method was often used historically to add visual interest and protect walls from wear and damage.
    - Engraved Brim: A thick, engraved brim or molding that caps the wainscoting not only enhances the room's visual appeal but also acts as a practical ledge or transition. In your case, integrating handles for hidden doors within this brim is a sophisticated touch that marries the aesthetic with the secretive nature of servant access points.
    - Seamless Doors: The idea of making the doors to servant corridors almost seamless with the walls contributes to a clean, uninterrupted look, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the space while providing necessary functionality. This would have been particularly valued in a grand estate where the seamless integration of service access is essential to the overall elegance.
