Thliene's Waterworld in Gorowyn (Guk)

Eveningsong · 08-24-2008, 07:59 PM

Even before the wonderful new sea creatures were added to Test, I had started working on my Sarnak, Thliene's "house". I loved the aquariums that others have done, but wanted to do something more.... sadly even adding the extra 100 items with a pocket expander I couldn't get the full effect that I wanted in a single room apartment, but I think it turned out quite well. The new additions after the GU will be a nice added touch, though! Thliene's waterworld is located in the standard one room housing in Gorowyn (first door on the right as you enter the housing/crafting area up top). --Pausing outside the door, you take a moment to recast your water breathing buff; then taking one last breath of air, you pass through the barrier into the room.

You find yourself in an underwater vista. Plants sway gently in the water as fish swim slowly by. Huge rockeries rise up through the water, forming a natural stairwell upwards.

Glancing to the right, you can see several fish swimming through the water, stopping to nibble on plants.

To the left is Thliene's "treasure cave", where many of her prized belongings are on display, encased in bubbles to protect them from the elements.

A large glass port hole offers some natural light.

As you climb the rocks upwards, the water eventually ebbs and you see a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. Ferrite braziers light the way upwards towards Thliene's living area.

One advantage of Thliene's watery home is the ability to catch one's own dinner! Thliene is an accomplished fisher, drying and preserving fish for winter eating.

While the rocky ledge where Thliene lives may not be luxurious compared to some places, she still has all the comforts of home.

A place to eat, a place to relax and read...

Even a comfortable nest to sleep or just sit and admire the watery view...

Beautiful use of a round room! And I thought people's fish tank ideas were awesome,, this is like living in a fish bowl! Looks like froglok heaven to me!
