Within the husk of a two-story building that is slowly, but drastically being refurbished, the Gilded Lily theatre was conceived.

The brainchild of Varian apBlanc duMonde, a young Baron from New Dauntless and a long-time resident of Myrken Wood, the theatre is bound to be deliriously extravagant in its design. It was Varian's familiarity with the region and its township that lead him to the decision to begin this endeavor. Having mentioned on multiple occasions that Myrken Wood was dreadfully devoid of culture and class, Varian felt it was his duty to "give back" to the community.


Exterior

From the road, just beyond the gated yard of the massive, and intricately restored playhouse is a stark contrast to smaller shops and cafes that surround it. Its once dark and foreboding appearance has been mended with striking outer decor, such as expensive tapestries and abundant flora.

A white-stone walkway stretches from the main gate, all the way to the wide, but considerately brief case of stairs. The large, double doors of oak are the crowning piece to a broad porch that wraps about the entirety of the main level of the building.

Interior

Beyond the doors of the theatre, the grand foyer seems to defy the appearance of the building from the street. At the entrance, the visitor is met by much of what might be expected within a place such as this. There is a podium, where the host awaits, often with a guest roster in hand and curtain at his or her back. Once through the thinly protective veil, three wide and descending tiers lead focus to the enormous stage.

Tables and chairs are generously, but methodically positioned in a fashion that allows for complete attention to be directed toward where the performances will inevitably be played out. With the exception of the lamplight upon the stage, the singular candles upon each tabletop is the only source of illumination.

High above, the second level is not so apparent. Winding stairwells to both the left and right sides of the stage lead upward, into intentional darkness, where offices and rooms of preparation reside. The only other obvious sign that the place is not simply one, gigantic room are the twin balconies. Each, highly decorated with lush fabrics and comfortable seats, are reserved for those of the wealth and social standing appropriate for their use and enjoyment.
