Dear FA Members: Yes, Veskit conne-- err kindly asked me to renew our base, and for a few days you can't have missed the loose boards making you trip at every step, or the dust everywhere, as well as the assorted tools popping out from the strangest places. Fortunately, all it's done now, and since I don't want you to constantly get lost while trying to find your way, here's a quick guide to our new base. Kissies Vicky (((This guide will contain both OOC and IC information -- OOC information will be in brackets))) THE BIG MAP1 - Entryway (((Entryway))) 2 - Common Room (((Arcane Workshop))): where Ves's office, sleeping quarters and the main bar are located. 3 - Healing Room (((Arcane Medical Area)) 4 - The Lounge (((Arcane Power Room))): where you can find the TV room and the smaller bar\relaxation area. 5 - The Library (((Arcane Control Room))) 6 - The Grand Hall (((Main Arcane Teleport Room))): where the meeting room and auditorion are. 7 and 8 - The Trophy Rooms (((Secondary Arcane Teleport Rooms)))

1 - EntrywayNothing much to say about the entryway. It's big. It's megalomaniacal. It suits the FA, I think. Also, thanks to Cloe who gave me a hand in decorating it, and constantly pestered me with "We need more light in the base". What happened to enjoying low light and intimate environments?

(Ves's Office) (Main Bar) (Sleeping Quarters) 2 - Common RoomI tried to keep a bit of the old base even despite a lot of the walls were demolished and rebuilt. And for that reason, I tried to keep the layout of the old bar and Ves' office -- although of course with a bit of renewing and cleaning up. I also added two rooms. It seems to me that at times we need a place to catnap between missions and at times it's... ahem... awkward to enter the bar and find people snoring on the couch or being amoro---err nevermind. Anyway, two rooms are available now. One with three single beds and another with a double bed. (((Arcane Workshop. At the moment we have the following available: crafting table, Invention salvage hold, Base salvage holder)))

3 - Healing RoomI had this room enchanted (a friend owes me a few favours and I cashed them in) to promote recovery, healing and stability. It's also a quite magically attuned area, ideal for meditating, usage as dojo" and exercises of magic. ((This is an Arcane Medical Room with an Inspiration holder. I was torn between doing it Arcane or Tech, but since the old one was Arcane, I went Arcane too, Let me know if you prefer the Medbay to be something more modern))

4 - The LoungeI made the Lounge for people to have a more quiet, more secluded area to relax and have fun. I installed a smaller bar with lots of comfy chairs, just so you can spend time with the other FAers, hanging out and relaxing. There's also a corner dedicated only to the movie lovers: our very own high def, with surround sound system TV room. (((Arcane Power room. Hopefully one day when we expand the base, we can also increase this area to have more functionalities available)))

5 - The Library Even though I was asked why do we need so many books, I still say books are fun. Also, you can't really store magical spells on a laptop. Well, you can, but then really strange things start to happen (if you don't believe me, let me tell you of this virus that hit a few people a couple years ago. It was a magical virus and cursed people who ran it. And if you think losing all your computer data is bad, imagine all your hair falls off instead). Also, don't mess with the big club in the display case -- It belongs to Jack in Irons and I have it bound so the redcaps won't overcome our base trying to recover it. At Ves's request, I had a statue in the honor of Akkarin commissioned and it's now gracing the library. (((Arcane Control Room -- it also has a Pillar of Ice and Flame, for easier access to Oroboros missions)))

(The Auditorium) 6 - The Grand Hall
The goal of this room is to impress the visitors and actually use it as meeting hall\auditorium and so on. Although as far as I know, most meetings of the FA people happen in the bar, so, like I said, this should be mostly used to make visitors think we're totally awesome. ((((Main Arcane Teleport room: it has 16 beacons, ordered by level, clockwise. The four highest level areas of the game are accessed by the secondary TP rooms -- presently, we have TPers to every area of the game except Terra Volta)))

7 and 8 - The Trophy Rooms
Since there was a whole lot of junk-- I mean, trophies and gifts hanging around (including a Longbow Chopper. I mean, who goes "Here, as a token of my appreciation have an old chopper?"), I decided they deserved a proper room just for them, so people can go stare and go "Oooooh" in admiration. Since basically this is only to impress visitors, I placed the Trophy rooms right next to the Grand Hall. (((Secondary Arcane TP rooms, containing access to Founders, Eden, Peregrine and RWZ)))

(( Don't you people have homes to go to? Geez, what's the world coming to when heroes of the city are homeless reprobates? Bloody vagrants, waifs and strays. Knew there were problems with the old FA recruiting system :-P ))
