The Avenoleum
Hidden, nested deep within the clouds, far beyond the horizon, The Avenoleum rests hanging in the sky, a massive citadel masquerading as a violent passing storm, whirling above the ocean.
The Avenoleum is a gargantuan labyrinthine citadel, that once was a paradise for countless metallic dragons, now with only a few remaining, watching over Fleurdelys. The few dragons left compose of an ancient gold dragon, two ancient silver dragons, and one adult silver dragon. They hail over the chamber of divinity, unable to communicate with Fleurdelys, so they live within the inner ring of the Avenoleum.
Lair Properties:
Fleurdelys cannot leave the chamber of divinity, or be taken out of it. She cannot escape through the use of another plane or dimension, either willingly or unwillingly. She cannot teleport outside herself or by another creature. Fleurdelys can sense the exact location of each creature within the Avenoleum, and vaguely sense the presence of creatures within 15 miles of the Avenoleum. Fleurdelys resides within the Chamber of Divinity, on a 150 foot radius platform with a 50 foot wide drop into the ocean, from the height of at least 3 miles.
The Avenoleum is sentried by many ancient, and dangerous constructs. Varied in size and purpose, some active, and most are ready to activate upon sensing an intruder. The Citadel is populated by many powerful airborne monsters, Rocs, Griffons, Pegasus, etc. Many beautiful birds still make the Citadel's gardens their home to this day, some the few safe areas that withstand the test of time.
The symbol of virtue and purity, she is the light that gleams through the abyssal darkness. A maiden, blessed by two contesting gods, she takes on the characteristics of both the lawful good, Imperator, the god of Unicorns, and the Lawful Evil, Threnodian, Leviathan, the god of the Deep Sea.
Physical Description: Fleurdelys is a celestial being with long pointed ears, and a single dull-gold unicorn-like horn with a white glow radiating from the mark on her forehead, and etchings in the horn protruding from her forehead. She bears a blue, crystalline halo resembling a crown of thorns, and a long blue overskirt hanging from the back of her waist, like a vail over the tail-end of a leviathan. The robes she dons seem to be the same robes she wore before her coronation, a long while ago, when even she, was young once. She stands at a height of 10 feet including her horn, well endowed and with flawless skin, long, platinum-gold hair flowing down to her waist. Her deep blue eyes seem to plunge one deep into the ocean itself when gazed into. She bears only gauntlets on her hands and forearms, and a single pouldron on her right shoulder.
