Someone suggest maps for the place... I found a few ones online and
suggest maybe modifications, but they're good starts.

(another good keep map)

The coolest looking castle I found online was no doubt this one:

But... I couldnt' find an architectural layout for it. Tho it looks
awesome.

I was thinking, though, instead of just a big stone keep, we might
want a layout more like an estate; big walls, well guarded, then
buildings inside.

(This is a really neat architectural house for visitors and stuff...
if we rewrote/changed some names it'd be a nice inner keep.)

Then there's this Phipp's house... I think it's a great model for the
place, has lots of rooms and stuff. Three floors, and a pavillion for
the outside.

I was thinking about this place. We didn't build it ground up.. It was
formerly the Sisters of Isolation. Maybe it was a nunnery, or perhaps
a cathedral. Either way, it would also have a great access to nature,
since that was their focus.


Anyways, these are just some ideas. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Sorry for being so incommunicado, sicknesses are a bitch. Let me
redirect you all...the areas of Marathon that House Troy controls are
all former commercial, light industrial, and residential buildings
that span most of Marathon's port(west) side. The building in
particular that has had the most work done on refitting is a giant
warehouse, which is where you all currently reside. Any other
questions? I will try and do a floorplan if you all really want one,
but I was hoping that it would be created through a communal approach
of posting, etc. But whatever the majority wants, I will accommodate!

Hi all.  If anybody really strongly desires having formal maps for our locations, I'm okay with that.  However, I'm also very happy doing this the original "flesh it out during the RPing" method.  I suspect the original way will give us a lot more leeway in how we write our posts.  I know I was able to give Aleksandr an office/bedroom which I thought was much more appropriate to him than I'd have found on any blueprint.

Yeah, I prefer the RP response as well. :)
