Function

The Grandmaster's Hall is the central building in the Sisterhood's Valley. It's the residence of the Grandmaster herself and contains the meeting hall for the High Council as well as the library and the Sisterhood's archives.

Architecture

It's an octagonal building, constructed at a time when Keverynn was obsessed with circular architecture. The stones used in its construction had a moonstone-like quality to them, causing the walls to shimmer softly when hit by light. Both inside the building and out, mage lights trapped in crystal balls perched in silver mountings evenly spaced on the walls.

Each of the eight walls has an arch built into it that either led to a staircase or was a niche containing a statue. These alternated around the walls, with one arch leading out of the building, three arches leading to staircases and four containing statues.

The floor was made of a dark blue marble that had been obtained from Lida'neer Mines.

History

Construction began on this building in the year 127 and was completed a little more than two years later in 129. The first Grandmaster to take up residence in it's walls was the Sisterhood's founder, a wolfling named Tethtrulenn. The building remained unchanged until it was all but destroyed in the year 732.
