Kaerolin Manor, Floor 1

Greetings!

Here is Kaerolin Manor, first floor. Two more floors to go...

The tower will be 60' tall, so it will actually have six floors.

A fine paving stone drive leads up to a marble entrance walkway flanked by gilded columns leading into spacious front entry with polished tile flooring and dual staircases leading to the second floor. The overall ceiling height in the first floor is 15'. To the right of the entrance is an informal sitting area leading to a library which is open to the second floor - book shelves from floor to ceiling on the interior wall with ample reading light spilling in from the generous windows.

To the left of the entry is a more formal seating area/drawing room for receiving very important guests and after dinner conversation with the dining room further to the left.

The two suites to the southwest are the King's Suite and the Queen's Suite, each generously proportioned and attired.

The kitchen and lower servants' quarters, including the pantry and laundry, are located to the southeast of the entry. The house's garden is just outside and well-tended.

After dropping off visitors and guests, the carriages may proceed easterly along the rest of the drive to the carriage house, which accommodates the manors' horses and carriages. A covered walk leads folk to and from the manor house, with a mud room just inside the manor.

The central garden features a fountain and two small pools, and proceeding further into the manor leads to the Grand Gallery - which is open to the second floor and paved with polished tile reflecting the front entry.

Proceeding out of the manor one finds the marble portico which leads to the low-walled formal garden featuring reflecting pools and a large central fountain. Well-maintained grounds provide serenity for those who wish to take a turn about the garden.

    @Monsen - I tried doing the same thing with HTML, but Imgur was not cooperating either, just leaving a notice to view the image on Imgur instead of a preview; the ole "let's drive traffic to our site" ploy... I'm open to a better image host...

    @Lorelei - thanks. :)

    @Quenten - that is the aim here, but a) can't submit until it is all done, and b) I want to make sure that I can still offer this map for sale (my brief look at the rules doesn't prohibit that action, and it seems I can, but I'm still looking before asking).
  • Just ask Monsen for clarification. It is still your map, and you alone retain copyright
  • what is the correct BBCode for resizing the image that's in the tag? img=WxH doesn't work, nor does img width="" height=""...

    Works fine with this html

    Note that it is preferable that you embed a smaller version of the image with a link to the full image, and not just a scaled down view of the actual full image, since users still need to download the full image, and some users have slow/metered internet connections.

    Noe idea unfortunately. Might be that the BBCode implementation on this forum doesn't support that. It is a bit limited in some cases.

    Posted By: JMunsonIIb) I want to make sure that I can still offer this map for sale (my brief look at the rules doesn't prohibit that action, and it seems I can, but I'm still looking before asking).
    The atlas don't claim any copyright or exclusivity, but of course, having it in the atlas do mean that a hi-resolution version as well as the .fcw itself will be available free for anyone who knows about it. It doesn't prevent you from selling it in any way, but it may impact sales (and some customers may even feel cheated if they buy it and later find out it is also available for free).


    If it is to enter the atlas, someone (you or Quenten i suppose) also needs to find a nice location for it in the atlas. A floorplan should be linked from an existing building somewhere in the atlas, and not a generic blank spot.
  • OK, got the image/formatting all sorted... Thanks Monsen, I don't know why I couldn't get it to work out correctly - probably map-blind... :rolleyes:
