Arentis: Difference between revisions

|''She looked around the main lobby of the inn and drank in the atmosphere. It was rustic with large windows looking out at the frozen lake and flurries of snow. On the other side, two overstuffed leather sofas were sitting in front of a heavy stone fireplace with a roaring fire going. Rachel brushed the snow off her jacket and boots before making her way to the couch and sitting down. The heat radiating from the fireplace washed over her, banishing the cold away and letting her relax. She leaned back and relaxed for a bit before the squeaking of wheels got her attention.''<br>''A woman in a heavy robe, hood, and goggles stopped by, pushing a cart with various hot drinks. [...] Hot cider, cocoa, coffee, tea. She saw a drink that looked like a dark green tea, only with a slight teal glow. It was unusual, but definitely eye-catching.'' <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-constitution/c/YU3vvZmY9DQ/m/eR5gPjMJAwAJ "Rachel the Handywoman"], Ensign Rachel Flores, {{USS|Constitution-B}}), SD240012.29</ref>

* '''''Castrum Hibernum Portum''''': A 'fort' carved in ice with extensive offers of venues such as a ballroom, converence rooms and such. It was owned by a Magna Roman called Lucius.

|''While talking with some of the regular guests and staff of Arentis, several of them had recommended that Laria visit “the castrum”. It was a fort carved of ice that remained forever frozen in the Monkbel Foothills overlooking a large frozen lake. So, she had decided to make some time to visit the venue owned by a Magna Roman man named Lucius. [...] Lucius was waiting at the front, wearing several layered tunics and a fur mantle and shawl over them all to keep warm. The Magna Roman welcomed guests in and down the main hall towards the event spaces or upstairs to the Castrum’s restaurant. She admired the columns and busts carved from solid ice. The thick, cloudy ice was a decent simulacrum of the marble construction of ancient Magna Roman style.<br>The hallway ended at an archway held up by a man and a woman carved from the ice. A ballroom, conference rooms, and other event spaces were beyond, and two ramps on either side led upward to the second floor of the icy palace. [...] She followed one of the snowy ramps up to the second level. Even the tables and chairs were carved from packed snow and ice, although they were covered with fur so as not to freeze anyone sitting there. [...] The restaurant had vaulted ceilings and more scrollwork and decorative reliefs carved into its walls. Closest to the front wall, an archway opened up onto a balcony. She looked out and saw the afternoon sunlight reflecting off the aptly-named Mirror Lake below. Further off towards the horizon, some of the larger mountain ranges could be seen.<br>

[...] She scrolled through the datapad menu, watching tiny holoemitters bring up images of some of the restaurant’s top dishes. [...] The wine list was extensive and conveniently organized by planet of origin. She noticed that they had Juilea-based wines, including one of her favorite amber wines from the wineries of Holtin House. She decided to pair a taste of home with the Magna Roman lunch. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-constitution/c/wZdVGNVQZvA/m/UKygrKVqAgAJ "Spotting Spots"], Lieutenant Laria Herren, {{USS|Constitution-B}}), SD240001.04</ref> ''
