Stargarde Keep

Welcome to Stormurheim home of Stargarde Keep and residence of the Covey, Stjörnuhús. This is a sanctuary for the Stjörnuhús and invited guests. This home is no longer a home on any physical grid, it is a home in its own pocket universe and completely inaccessible to any who are not specifically invited. Consider yourselves uninvited vampires, you vampire. ‽

Stella’s suite is immediately recognizable as her style. The walls are dark and decorated with almost too much artwork ranging from classical paintings with the faces spray-painted out to faux trophy heads to pop art to modern art sculptures. It’s eclectic, unapologetic, and aggressive. Most of her furniture is black leather, covered with furs and oddball pillows, with the occasional pop of color and glint of glitter or rhinestone. It’s a little cozy in size, surprising for such a free spirit, but somehow the abundance of stimulation in such a small space is what makes it work.

Ivy’s suite is bright and airy, featuring floor-to ceiling windows directly across her front door. Her living room has a split-level layout, the second level leading around her large couch to create a basking area in front of her windows. Ivy shares this platform with some of her many plants, soaking up the sunshine. Her bedroom is on the smaller side with little decoration save for the trees and hanging plants surrounding the bed. It is darker than the front room, as well, but still allows plenty of light for her plants. Her bathroom is similarly spacious, with one wall behind her tub covered in moss and succulents. An indoor waterway rings the outer edge of her bathroom, along with a rock wall that is also covered in moss, interrupted only by a large window that faces her bath tub.

Throughout her suite, you’ll find living walls, and a feature of plants propagating in test tubes, and some pathways are paved with mossy footpaths that Ivy often traverses instead of the cold marble.

Kal’s suite

Scheme’s suite, as extra as he is. 

Is there really three beds in his suite? Yes there is.

One is only for he and Don. One is a “wet” bed (oils and the like).

Malia’s Cabin

Unlike most of the Family, Malia’s “suite” is not connected to the Keep proper. She has a dedicated Fara light to take her to wherever and a doorway that will take her directly to Game’s suite if she needs or wants it.  Her cabin is on a neighboring island overlooking one of the mountain ranges. One would be hard-pressed to just stumble upon it.

Divine’s Suite

After over a year of the room being sealed, Game remodeled a former suite. Divine was in need. His current room was simply unsatisfactory, so while the god was off to Asgard one time, Game knocked down the walls and recreated this room out of the former two.

Game went with an overall modern-day castle feel. It’s different enough so it isn’t home, but close enough to be a home.

New Digs

With a new attitude comes a makeover and his old suite just didn’t seem to fit him anymore. With a stiff upper lip comes a suite makeover. 

~Thomas’ new living room. Everything is black and white with pops of color. Notice the red chair behind the nubuck white leather couches. It’s contrast of white and black is harsh and unrelenting while allowing a bit of modern twists, something someone who feels it’s good to be bad. Don’t bleed on the floor. 

From the living room we move to the kitchen…

~Small, but seeing as the Chateau has 10 kitchens, this one didn’t need to match the grandeur of his home. It’s just perfect for him and his guests and a nice little area to cook a dinner for one…or even two. 

Down the hall is his office…but first we stop in the waiting room…

~Very British when first entered, it’s a stark contrast to his office that hides behind the two black paneled sliding doors with frosted glass. The black leather couches sit on a black fur rug with the  British flag adorning the grey flat walls. A little bit of England in a dreary room, keeps you wondering what you were called to his office for.

When the doors open, Thomas is waiting in his office…

~Remember, when in Thomas’ office, you always wait your turn. He keeps the decor in this room mostly white to make it feel crisp and clean. The lightness feel of the room allows him to concentrate and focus. The very bright contrast to the darker waiting room.

Across the hall from his office is a bathroom…

~The contemporary guest bathroom is very simple and yet elegant. Brightly lit with a glass shower and rain fall shower head from the ceiling.

Off the kitchen we climb the stairs…

~Clear, lighted acrylic staircase that leads to the master bedroom and bath and private balcony. 

At the top of the stairs is pristine white carpet that leads to two white french doors. Beyond those doors lay Thomas’ Master Bedroom. 

~With the chrome light fixtures and contrast of the black and white Thomas feels most comfortable in his bed. This room is “bad guy” elegance as he likes to say. Don’t worry, there are plenty of goodies hidden in this sleek bedroom. This room has a balcony that over looks the London skyline.  

Here’s the balcony…

 ~This is one of his favorite spots for privacy and sunbathing. Yes, he does it nude and having your own private balcony allows for you do who you want, when you want it. Also his favorite spot to have tea. 

Behind another set of french doors lays Thomas’ master bathroom…

~Thomas’ bathroom is art in it’s self. With French doors that open over his own private gardens gifted to him by his fiance, Game. With the fresh and the sweet scents of the Asgardian blooms, it makes the best place to relax and the days stress leave his body. The shower is large enough for two and fitted with white subway tiles. 

Behind the doors is his dressing room…

~Like every upstanding British man, they need to have a dressing room. With white marble floors and high mirrors, he’s able to see every inch of himself and ensure he’s dressed as high class as he feels. 

Beyond the doors is his closet…

~Bright and airy, his closet allows each suit to be hung with care and easily visible. With everything in its place it makes choosing the days wardrobe easy.

As it’s said, it’s good to be bad and bad feels so good.

Andromeda’s Suite

The witch’s suite is actually a dark, empty room that is almost haunting in demeanor per actual structural layout. It is, however, enchanted. Andromeda never felt at home in the Chateau, simply because she prefers her own Winter Wonderland in Italy. 

When someone uninvited or unwelcome comes into her Suite at the Chateau, they will enter this room. If they are unwelcome or not close with Andromeda they are likely to see their worst fear in the form of an illusion. For example, if the person is terrified of spiders, the walls will be covered in astral spiders that are clearly false, but still there nonetheless. 

If they are welcome, the enchantment sends them through one of Andromeda’s own portals straight to one of her many music rooms in her home in Italy. This room has a door specifically enchanted to go both ways in the chateau.

The sitting/bedroom is one biggish room. All four walls have forest murals on them and the carpet is soft and brown. All the wood is stained dark brown or painted black. The room also has a large walk in closet attached to it. The ceiling is painted to look like tree canopies. One Wall has a large window jutting out with a windowseat.

There are several bookcases like this one around the room

the other walls are the above mural.

The tub can be used as a jacuzzi tub with magic. Behind the blue wall is a decently sized shower with multiple removable shower heads. The toilet is not made of crystal (That would be disturbing), but it does have colorful lights illuminating it.

Portal to Kellan’s Forest

With Thomas and Fallen’s help, and Game’s permission a portal has been created in an out of the way nook in the garden. The portal is a permanent pathway to the clearing in Kellan’s forest where her house is.  Anyone can go through from the Chateau, but in order to come back, through a similar arch made of two trees, you must either be a lock or key or the guest of one.  Kellan asks only that you respect her sanctuary and it’s wild nature.  Visitors are free to enjoy her home and the surrounding forest. Also she encourages them to enjoy scaring away any who trespass on her land. She’s cultivated the idea that her land is haunted.
