I'd say hello, but I guess you've already dissolved into other 
particles.  The Tau Neutrino doesn't last long. ;-)

Welcome to Metamor Keep!  I really like what you've done to render 
the Long House.  It's definitely become the most famous place in all 
of Metamor.  But in all of these maps (including the one you based 
your work off of), there are a few things missing:

First, the Sondeckis Shrine is directly off the Long House.  Second, 
there would be more than one set of stairs.  A single set would 
quickly become a bottleneck.  Third, there should be an opening to an 
outer window with a cauldron for boiling oil (seen in the story 
'Longing').  Fourth, the balcony, as described in the original story 
'Hunt', runs the entire length of the hall, although I do rather like 
the cupolas you put in.

And there is one thing that's always confused me about this 
map.  When I wrote 'Hunt' , the entrance chamber was at the long end 
of the hall, not in the middle.  How did that get changed?

Just a few thoughts from me.  And welcome again to Metamor!

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,
