The Foyer is the first room one one encounters when going through the main entrance. The room is two floors tall, though with an arcade that covers the outer half, creating an elevated seating area that also sits above the cloakrooms that border the Foyer. Stairs going up to this elevated seating area can be found on both the north and south side of the foyer, with separate stairs behind these also going to the floor below.
-A massive dual staircase can be seen along the wall opposite of the entrance, going all the way up to the 4th floor, with two wide gallery hallways going from the far corners. Additional seating areas can be seen along these hallways, with some additional seating areas also being found on the lower areas of the foyer itself.
-The floor is made out of marble, with fine details engraved in every stone. Panels of Rosenwood cover the walls up to about waist height, intricately carved to create both detail and depth, topped with a trick and equally intricately carved rail made out of the same Rosenwood material. Above this railing, the walls are plastered and painted in a soft cream color, with gold accents in simple patterns. The walls are packed with paintings, portraying everything from festivals, balls, romantic scenes, and scenes from famous Marcandrian plays. A long row of portraits of similar looking people can also be seen on either side of the wall with the large dual staircase. The entire roof of the Foyer is one massive mural - depicting Alatri seen from above, with three female figures along the edge, holding out their arms as if embracing the city.
+Entering the estate, visitors are greeted by the grandeur of the Foyer, spanning two stories in height and anchored by an impressive dual staircase opposite the entrance, leading up to the 4th floor. This central space is elegantly framed by an arcade running running above its western half, housing an elevated seating area above the entrance-side cloakrooms. Access to this raised platform is facilitated by staircases situated at both the north and south ends of the Foyer, with additional stairs behind them descending to the lower level.
+The floor boasts exquisite marble craftsmanship, each tile intricately engraved. The walls are adorned with panels of finely carved Rosenwood up to waist height. A thick, ornately carved Rosenwood rail caps the panels, supporting the transition to the soft cream colored plastered walls above, whom are accented with gold, and whose covered in a vast variety of paintings. These artworks range from vibrant festival scenes to moments from renowned Marcandrian plays, alongside a series of ancestral portraits flanking each side of the dual staircase.
+Completing the Foyer's opulent design is the ceiling mural, an expansive depiction of Alatri from above. The mural is bordered by three female figures, their arms outstretched in a welcoming embrace over the city. A huge chandelier of pure gold hangs from the ceiling, holding numerous Concalian crystals encased in glass, giving off a warm light.
