Reccomending we add the "Mercy's Keep Public Hall."
Type: Amarrian RP channel
Notes: Public channel for the corp "Knighthood of the Merciful Crown". As far as I know, it's open to all faction representatives and races as long as they don't start trouble.
MOTD:
System: Amarr
Planet: Amarr Prime (Athra)
Mercy's Keep is an ancient complex built into the side of one of the tallest mountain ranges on Athra, the closest hint of civilization in this part of the over-populated planet being a humble alpine town. In ages past it housed a small order of Amarrian warriors who followed the teachings of St. Endaneh. Now this snow-buried sanctuary houses the headquarters of the Knighthood of the Merciful Crown.
ExteriorThe public hall is the first room after the guarded entrance antechamber, the frigid mountain air all but forgotten here. Welcomed heat washes over those who enter, the orange flicker from torches and a massive fireplace creating an atmosphere just as warm as the air. The hall is alive with conversation and laughter from diplomats, dignitaries and common people from the Empire and beyond, all visiting the Knighthood for their own reasons. At night the air is filled with lively traditional Amarrian music on top of this, played by a band of local musicians set on the opposite side of the fireplace. (19:00 - 3:00 EST)
The space itself is large but the ceiling is somewhat low, betraying the fact the Keep was hewn from the solid stone of the mountain in a time without modern tools. It is long with a number of wide-spaced columns in two rows on either side, between which is a great wooden table where all of the patrons sit. Modestly-dressed serving girls hired from the nearby town flit back and forth from the table to the kitchen, bringing Amarrian wine, beer and hot dishes. To the right of it the room expands quite a bit, the area around the fireplace's hearth made into a comfortable sitting room, antique armchairs set facing the fireplace or around small conversation tables.
Set in alcoves along the side walls are statues of proud, ancient warriors and saints, expertly and lovingly restored by a team from Hedion University's Arts department. Between them hang replicas of old heraldic tapestries, along with paintings of all sorts, the only giveaway that this is still the modern era being that some depict Amarrian cities, stations or spaceships.
At then end of the main table is another smaller one, set perpendicular to the first. This table is reserved for members of KotMC and special guests, and has only around twenty seats. Behind it stands large oak double-doors which lead deeper into the Keep.
