Rooms in The Dark Sea

• A Residence - This is the home of some important citizen of Troy. Fine tapestries adorn the walls, while a thick rug woven from materials unfamiliar to you covers the stone floor. There is an ornate sofa near one wall, and a table holding a bronze urn near the doorway.

• Achilles' Tent - Achilles is in here, moping. He lost face when Agamemnon took Briseis from him, and he is punishing the Mycenaean ruler by refusing to take to the field, a move which is costing the Achaeans dearly, as he is their best warrior.
• Agamemnon's Tent - Here the head of the Achaean expedition resides, and also holds his staff meetings. Battle plans hang on the walls and are also strewn over tables, chairs, cots and the floor. Agamemnon is rather irritated at having spent nine years in this tent, and the stress is starting to show.
• Atop the Walls - You are strolling along the battlements of the mammoth walls of Troy. To the south lies the massive battlefield where Trojans have fought Achaeans for the last nine years. To the west lies the wine-dark sea.
• Chambers - In these luxurious rooms reside the many members of Priam's family. Soft cushions and fabrics are draped over ornate furniture while naked slaves walk about pouring wine for the residents who are currently relaxing here. Even in times of war, the rich citizens of Ilium live well.

• Diomedes' Tent - This is the tent of Diomedes, King of Argos, the most amicable and well- liked of the Achaean leaders on the field. He is also a competent warrior and military leader, and engenders great likeness and respect from the troops.
• Flying up the Cliffs - You are traveling by a method which eluded the Achaeans besieging Troy- flight. If they could fly the war would have ended years ago. You chuckle at their misfortune and continue to travel. The walls lie to the east of you. Below lies the wine dark sea. There is a road sign laying on the ground in the grass.
• Inside the Palace - This opulent abode is heavily furnished with items of bronze, gold and silver. There is a central throne room to the north of here. This place appears to be fairly deserted compared to the rest of the city.
• Menestheus' Tent - Menestheus is a prince from Athens, and leader of the Athenian contingent sent to the war. He is not a major player so I won't give him a major room description.
• Nestor's Tent - This is the tent of King Nestor, leader of the contingent from Pylos. He is one of the older generals here, and one of the more wiser. However, he is not one of the more influential.
• Odysseus' Tent - This is the tent of noble Odysseus, the most notable of all the heroes assembled for this battle. Chances are he won't be here, but rather off fixing up his little equine surprise for the Trojans...
• Outside the Gates of Ilium - The Gates of Ilium loom before you, tall and magnificent. They are crafted of solid oak bound with bronze. Surprisingly, they are closed but unlocked- the Achaean never thought to turn the handle...;)
• Sailing Over the Wine Dark Sea - You enter a Huge Wave. You are sailing across the deep seas of the north. Dawn appears, fresh and rosy-fingered, and catches you making your way across the wine dark stretches of the deep sea, sailing toward whatever adventures may wait.

• The Battlefield - You are walking across the battlefield before the walls of Troy, where the besieging army of the Achaeans, led by Agamemnon, have sat encamped for years, the monotony only broken by the occasional battle. Tents lay everywhere, housing the many soldiers that currently call this place home.

• The Center of the Palace - Here stands the throne of King Priam, and is the room in which he conducts business and receives visitors. To the north, east and west lie the chambers of his family.
• The End of the Road - The road ends here at the sheer face of the northern wall of the city, which faces onto the tall, impenetrable mountains that loom north of the plains of Ilium.

• The Front Line - You are on the front line, in the midst of the field that has hosted the bulk of the senseless conflict between Achaean and Trojan. The blood of thousands slain on both sides has soaked into the soil here, and there are weapons, armor and bones littered all about here. The City of Troy lies directly to the north.

• The Games - Even during times of war, the Achaeans find time for competitive sports meets, and this war is no exception. This area has been converted into a rudimentary arena, with lanes for running and chariot racing, circles for discus and shotput, and a ring for boxing.

• The Horse - This is a broad clearing full of tradesmen and a huge, half-finished wooden horse. You see scattered about the clearing wooden rabbits, badgers, stoats, turtles, hawks and echidnas. Evidently a lot of thought went into the final choice for the lure...
• The Physicians' Tent - Here Machaon, son of Asclepius, and his brother tend to the sick and the wounded. They will even tend your injuries, for a fee.
• The Shallows - You are currently bobbing up and down in the shallows. To the north lies a huge plain, littered with tents and armored men, who are grouped around the walls of a huge city. It looks as if some fierce fighting has taken place here.
• The Streets of Ilium - You are standing on a street in the city of Ilium, also known as Troy.

• Tlepolemus' Tent - This is the tent of the Argive prince Tlepolemus, son of the legendary Heracles. He is a mighty warrior and a great ally of the Achaean forces. Notice how all these Achaeans have names ending with 's'?
