Hakkvild's High Hall - "Dark Harvest Gala"

Don't turn the sound up, quiet in the beginning but there's music after the second load screen.

This is a house I had absolutely no intention to build. A friend convinced me to and I am so thankful she did, I learned a lot building it and worked out some fun new lighting techniques I hope to use in the future. Technically this is for a contest for the housing guild I'm in, themed 'spooky ballrooms' coming up in October, but I'm awful at contests so I'm not entirely sure I'll be submitting it for that. We'll see what October brings.

It's a tragically long walk but I swear there is something akin to a ballroom in there somewhere. With lava, because what ballroom couldn't be drastically improved with lava?

Does this need a trigger warning for bats? FYI there's a section that's full of bats.
0:00 - 2:00 Entry way
2:01 - 3:07 Grand Staircase
3:08 - 4:12 Bats in the woods pt 1
4:13 - 6:52 Ballroom
6:53 - 7:31 Bats in the woods pt 2
7:32 - 9:24 The long walk out


The large light pools on the ceilings are [Firesong Spring, Basalt] loaded up with tales of tribute tapestries and Deadlands wallspikes in an attempt to change the color of them.

The 3 smaller light pools are [Sulphur pool] (from fargrave) also accompanied by tapestries and wall spikes.

The attempt at something like a mural/pretty window/wallart includes the Apocrypha pool, inky that I stole from my doomchar plateau, several vampiric mirrors (standing variety), deadlands wallspikes, a few [dais, bloodmage crystal], one of the ayleid windows from west weald, and a few other things I can't recall the names of off the top of my head.

The void black walls are the medium sized rock from coldharbour. I want to say the 'shard' variety. I'll doublecheck later.

The alcoves are the top 3rd of the alinor stables furniture from the weekend luxury vendor.
