03:02:09 - It is officially March! Wow this year is going by fast. :] Well, I'm trying to finish some long neglected things here on Otium, including posting and updating the sidebars and whatnot. Skins still need to be finished, which I plan to get done this month hopefully. Untill then, bare with me! Images for the sidebars titles should be up soon as well. I just need some suggestions and yay or nays from my partners in crime on here. xD
The seven deadly sins are currently Anger, Envy, Pride, Sloth, Lust, Gluttony, and Greed. Originally, there were eight deadly sins; Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Sadness, Anger, Apathy, Vainglory, and Pride. Throughout time, Vainglory was dropped (because it was closely related to Pride) along with Sadness and Apathy. Envy and Sloth where then added.

Pool Area - The Roof Accessible from only two ways, the Pool Area which consists of an indoor and an out door pool, can be found via a secret trap door located in the Attic, or by taking the Elevator from any level of the mansion. Unless you’re deathly afraid of heights, the Pool Area located on the very top of the Mansion can end up being one of the most fun places of the entire Mansion. It is a prime place to swim seeing as the pools are always clean and very well taken care of. The entire pool runs around half the size of the entire roof area. The left half of the pool, from the elevator, is uncovered and spaciously open while the opposite end of the pool is covered by a concrete shelter with several windows. This shelter spreads over the pool and raises a good many yards into the air so height is no issue inside. The indoor pool, which is insulated, can be switched to fit one’s preference whether they prefer heated, lukewarm, or chilly waters. There is also a medium sized Jacuzzi inside. A large glass door slides from one side of the pool to the other to shut off the two halves. If you do not want to take any chances outside, then it is best to use the inside pool to swim. The deepest both pools get are 15 feet. The area where the transition between indoor and out door is marked by the deepest part of the pool. Both sides have a diving board and water slide. Far to the left are outside reclining chairs which anyone can use to get a nice, natural tan. To the right of the elevator is a small building where people can change into their swimwear. Straight back from the elevator is a medium sized building, the Tiki Hut, that servers drinks and light snacks. There are picnic tables on either side of the Tiki Hut. To the far sides of the Tiki Hut, sitting in the two back corners, are two very large Jacuzzis which seat at least fifteen people in each.
Storage & Music - Attic (3 sub-boards) Finally, your long journey either up the many flight of stairs or the ride up the elevator has come to an end. You have arrived at your destinations; the Attic. For the main part, the Attic is used for storage of simple items such as papers, books, old furniture, etc. However, the Attic has another use. On the very top level of the Mansion, the Attic is where the rhythm beats and the music blares. You can find nearly any type of instrument that suits your preference. If you can’t, just think whatever it is that you intend to play and the Mansion’s magic will do the rest. There are guitars, pianos, strings, brass, and even a modern DJ table complete with mixers and synthesizers. The place has even has air guitars! The Music area is on the right side of the Attic where as the Storage room is on the left. The elevator comes straight up in the middle of the two rooms which leads to a corridor. There are two entrances on either wall of the corridor that leads into either the Music or Storage part depending on your preference. If you keep walking down the corridor, you will eventually end up in a ‘pocket’. This pocket lets anyone view out over the cliff that is behind the Mansion. From there, a pleasant and soothing view of the vibrantly dark blue ocean can be seen.
Master Suite - Fourth Floor (5 sub-boards) The remaining twenty six of the fifty six bedrooms is found on the floor directly above the third. The floor plans of the two floors are similar, minus the significantly sized master suite on the fourth floor. This large bedroom is accessible only by the masters of the house, Kurai and Sasuke, unless permission is granted to enter the magnificent suite. It is found centered on the northern wall, just next to the entrance of the master suite is the magical elevator that transports occupants to any location within the mansion. Just as in the floor below, the second largest rooms of the fourth level are found in the corners, smaller rooms occupying the space between them. Also, the fourth floor offers a similar balcony to that of the floor below, except the balcony for the master suite protrudes further out and is more generous in size even compared to the corner room balconies. In the center of it all, just under the enormous master suite, five bedrooms lined side by side can also be found.
Sleeping Quarters - Third Floor (5 sub-boards) The entire third floor, or the “sleeping quarters”, contributes thirty of the fifty six bedrooms in the mansion. In each of the four corners of the floor, the largest rooms on the level can be found. Between these four square spaces are smaller rectangular rooms, though still plentiful in walking space. Each of the thirty bedrooms are equipped with bathrooms and closets, each bathroom with a laundry chute to send dirty clothes to the laundry room to be cleaned. The outer wall of this floor as well as the floor above have a balcony that rims the entire perimeter of the level which is, separated to accommodate each room with the outer wall with its own balcony. A hallway separates rooms that are along the outerwall from the eight rooms that are in the center of the third level. In the center of the northern wall, a large bay window allows light to pour into that portion of the third floor. At night, the wall lights automatically come on and turn off once the sun has risen.
Entertainment - Second Floor (3 sub-boards) Relaxation, peace, excitement, enjoyment; It can all be found on the second floor of the mansion, also known as the “Entertainment Floor”. From kicking back and catching a flick in the movie theater to sitting in the solitude and quietness, immersed in knowledge in the library, there is nothing on this floor that couldn’t appease your boredom. The game room boasts every gaming system platform you could dream up as well as virtually every game that has been created for it. It is an environment that screams the word “fun” mostly due to the sharp colors of the carpet and the beams of various colors thrown about the room. The bath houses stimulate serene feelings and relaxation, the warm inviting steam and the aroma of the rose petals floating on top of the pure waters of the large bathing pool. From floor to ceiling, all books imaginable can be found neatly organized on the shelves of the library. Enjoy a Starbucks coffee or frappuccino as you read to your minds content. The theater boasts every movie ever created and has access to movies not even released in the world beyond the barrier; All accessible through the click of the remote with the movie you wish to see in mind.
Main Area - First Floor (5 sub-boards) When one first walks into the First Floor’s Foyer, they are greeted with a warm and invitingly pleasant area which leads them to believe that this Mansion might just be a rather nice place to stay. While being dazzled by the fact that a koi pond and stream are located in the central part of the Foyer, you happen to notice the stairs that branch off into two further past the pond. This leaves you with the choice of going to a higher level either by stair or elevator. Apart from that choice, you also have several other choices. There are a total of four exits from the Foyer. To the left, you have the option of entering the Hall of Mirrors. Just above that, across the stream, is an exit that leads out into a hall near the Laundry Room. On the right near the front doors, a large door will allow entrance into the spacious Dining Room. Adjoined to the Dining Room is the Kitchen. Above the Dining Room entrance is an exit that leads into another hall way from which you can access the Lounge. Before reaching the Lounge, however, there is a large, lush area which makes up a small inside garden. There are mostly small, yet colorful flowers, and three medium sized trees. Throughout the Main Area, one will be able to find several elevators from which to move to a new floor, or to simple move about from room to room.
Bar and Simulation Room - Basement (2 sub-boards) Are you in the mood for a little something different; something more mature? Why not try the Bar? By taking the elevator down to the Basement (accessible from any level of the mansion), you’ll soon find yourself facing two decisions. Do you want to play a game of pool, air-hockey, or maybe just watch some TV? Or do you want to sit at the circular island bar where every drink imaginable is found? Touch choices indeed. The Bar’s bartender is a large fellow who’s usually drunk. Oh, he’s a dragon by the way, and you should make sure to check your drink for a fake mustache. If you find one, return it to the poor bartender please. If games and drinks are not your calling, then why not try out the Simulation Room? The Simulation Room is used for many reasons, among them honing your newly found skills or simply discovering new skills. You never know what powers Otium will grant you, so you’d best make sure you don’t have any that might cause problems for the residents of the island.
The Hospital If an injury, however minor, shall occur in or near the mansion, it is best to take the injured person to the Hospital which is located to the right of the mansion when looking at the front. This should be the case for those injured away from the mansion as well because the Hospital is the only one in all of Otium. When you first walk in, the sterile smell of any regular Hospital hits you like a ton of bricks. The floor is tiled with a simple white color. Eighty four beds may initially be found; however, if more are needed, the building itself is able to expand and readjust itself until there are the correct number of rooms for each person. In total, there are only six Intensive Care rooms. Again, if more are needed, the Hospital will supply them. Along with rooms for each person, there is a large Staff Office area where the staff of the Hospital may work on paperwork, sleep after a long shift, or gather the needed medicine. Inside the Staff Offices, the sterile smell is less potent. One will find many shelves packed with medicines or sorts as well as a good many Chinese Medical cabinets which are to store the best of the healing herbs. The last room located within the Hospital is the Surgery area. Here surgery is preformed on those who need it. The last room in the Hospital is the Lobby where those who are not in need of medical attention may wait for whoever to be treated. Some staff are: Dr. Anna, Dr. Hatsuharu, Dr. Kimoto, as well as Dr. Tat.
Veterinary Clinic (1 sub-board) Right beside the large and useful Hospital lies an equally useful building. It is that of the Veterinary Clinic that is run by the handsome Dr. Alex and his assistant Eve. From the outside, one sees how the building is made up of two floors. Like the Hospital, it is modern and sterile once one enters. The main entrance leads straight into the medium sized waiting room. No doctor there? No problem! Simply pressed the call button located on the front desk to send Dr. Alex a signal. He’ll be right down! No injury is too small in his eyes, either. The first floor is obviously the floor on which surgery and other such things occur. This is obvious from the amply and up to date machinery to assist in healing. Here at the Veterinary Clinic, almost no animal is turned away. The first floor’s ground is comprised of light blue tiles with puppy paw prints upon them. These run into the white, pristine walls. There is the x-ray room, surgery room, a special room for births, and many more. Along the walls, pictures displaying the anatomy of the varied animals inhabiting Otium are shown.

The Garden (2 sub-boards) Exiting from the luxurious French doors of the hall of mirrors, you come to face a gate the leads into the elegant enclosure of the estate’s main garden. Starting from both sides of the cement posts of the gate is a garden arc, luscious green vines and leaves make up the structure. Advancing through the gate and down the three staggered steps, you come to see two paths, one leading to the right and ending at an exit, the other to the left and ending at yet another exit. You see that the walls of the garden are composed of neatly trimmed, high bushes, thick enough to allow no visibility through them and no room to wedge through. The only ways out are the three exits and by sky. Directly in front of you is a rectangular pond with crystalline waters where assorted hues glide through the water in the form of koi fish. In the center of the pond is a glorious three layered fountain, the water spouting from the top spills into the three shallow bowls beneath it which overflows into the basin below. Decking the sides and the corners of the pond are assorted bushes and shrubs that give off a more natural feel, and rimming the entire perimeter of the structure is a path. On the outer side of this path are flowerbeds adorned by many hues and shapes. Three more levels of flower beds, each six inches higher than the other and three feet in width, make up the rest of the garden. The two lower levels house many different types of flower while the two top levels are reserved for plants that bear fruits and vegetables.
Oogie Boogie So you really want to know what goes bump in the night? Well head to this vivacious night club and find out. This is the place were angels leave their halo’s at the door and innocent doesn’t exist. This is where the devil on your shoulder tells you to go when its time to really have fun. Located near the mansion grounds the large extravagant nightclub is the farthest thing from inconspicuous. The actual architecture has a Halloween feel to it and a subtle gothic touch to pull it all together. Four pillars in the front of the entrance hold up the large flashing sign decorated by neon ghosts lopping through the large glowing letters spelling: Oogie Boogie. The outside is decorated with many eerie green neon lights to pull the ghoulish yet fun feel of the nightclub together. The outside is just the beginning though. Upon entering the dance floor is the first thing one will notice. The whole dance floor is a light crimson glass that is very thick, able to hold up a great deal of weight of course. Under the glass is a furnace releasing a constant flow of fire giving the dance floor a constant glow, and almost hellish feel to it. The bar is to the far right, which is hard to miss with its large glowing sign saying: Enchanting Elixirs. They serve almost every alcoholic beverage known and make this nightclub most definitely not for the young of heart. All beverages are served in either a lavish pitch black goblet or a thin curving ruby red wine glass. Shots are also available for the bold ones out there. Opposite the bar is what one would call the lounge, sofas placed here and their set beside a black light causing everything to glow from the white silk on the sofas to the neon green of the carpet. Any sinister fantasies or fun bubbled up is unleashed here. With an ambiance filled with devilish, naughty, and dark intentions, here no one has to be afraid of the dark.

Tropical Forest-House Within a moderate distance from the gardens, a thirty foot tall clear glass dome of considerable radius can found. Vibrant hues of green bring attention to the site as well as the brilliant colors of tropical plants and flowers. Entering from the single glass door, the perfume of exotic blossoms tingle your senses as your eyes are treated to the unique and various flowers not found in the world beyond the barrier. Strolling through the glass enclosed structure, you can watch as fairies and fairy dragons flutter busily around the tropical house, tending to the flowers and plants, pixy dust gently settling on the soil and acting as a natural nutrient to the flora. These creatures have a special aptitude with plants and cultivate unimaginable types of flora and vegetation. A select few plants and flowers can be found in the center of the tropical house, just under the shade of the canopy of a twenty foot tall tree, planted neatly near the roots of the tree. These plants are so rare they are not found anywhere else in Otium or the world outside, they have been bred by the faeries and their dragon counterpart themselves and can only survive under the conditions of that very spot below tree, just above the roots that release a special nutrient into the ever soft soil, necessary for the extremely rare plants to live. In several areas within the tropical house, fountains of fresh running water can be found, the faerie dragons and faeries each carrying single orbs of the purified water to the plants. Other organisms dwell in this enclosure as well; unique birds and reptiles. The song of the birds are pleasure to the ears, and the striking hues of the unique reptiles are never before seen.

The Pavilion The Pavilion can be accessed easiest from the side exit of the kitchen that leads to the outdoor grilling area. Once you find yourself outside the kitchen, the first thing your eyes will find themselves on is the enormous two story pavilion that rests itself before the pool and patio. On a normal day, the inside of the pavilion appears as a vast empty room, disco lights resting on the ceiling beaming no colors, the state of the art stereo system shut off, tables and chairs neatly stacked and folded along the sides of the structure, the bar empty. But on several occasions, the room turns into an area of partying from dusk till dawn, music blaring, balloons scattered, rays of various colors thrown all about the space, people and creatures enjoying the company of one another. Taking a step outside, you find yourself standing before a snaking river-like pool, an island with a hot tub that holds up to sixteen people is encircled by the cooler waters of the winding pool. This hot tub can be accessed either by swimming through the pool and walking up the submerged steps, or if you prefer not, a bridge connects the island to the sidewalk at the pool’s edge. Due to the snaking shape of the pool, a few “peninsulas” can be found, decked with lawn chairs, tables with umbrellas, as well as a few palm trees. These tall tropical trees are scattered along the pool’s edge and adds an exotic feel to the grand area. To the right of the pool is a deck littered with outdoor tables as well large sun-umbrellas of varying colors shading each table. Grills and smokers of all types can be found upon this deck as well.

The Animal Corral (4 sub-boards) The Animal Corral is not made up of just one place. How boring that would be! Instead, the Corral is made up of several different places; mainly four different areas which include the pastures, stables, exercising area, and outside ring. Out of those places, the Pasture area is by far the biggest. It is located within the Theal Meadows, yet still belongs within the boarders of the Mansion’s outer boundary. It is an enclosed area for those who are not allowed to wander; however, any smarter being would easily be able to either jump the fence or escape via one of the fourteen gates that allow entrance or exit into or from the pastures. The Exercising building is below the Pastures and to the far left. Beside that is the outer ring where those who are not used to riding outside can ride in a safe environment. If the rings are too tame for you, venture out further past the Pasture area onto some beat down trails that lead all over the island. Lastly, and most importantly, one can find the Stables just to the right of the Outside ring. There, horses and other mounts are kept.

The Golf Course In the mood for a relaxing and quiet sport while enjoying the spectacular scenery around you? Why not head over to the estate’s 18-hole 72-par golf course? Rolling hills, ponds with majestic fountains, sand pits, and palm trees are all included in the course, adding to the scenery and the feeling of being at vacation. As you stand atop a hill, the sea of emerald stretches before and around you, the grass beneath your feet as soft as velvet. This grass is maintained through magic, and therefore needs no one to mow it and no sprinklers to nourish it with water. At night, the bright solar powered lights automatically turn on, bringing visibility all throughout the range. Run out of golf balls? Not a problem, simply wish for one and it shall appear before you resting atop a tee. After you’re spent and wish to head back to the mansion, all golf balls will be magically absorbed into the grass. Some creatures and animals also make their home in the seemingly natural environment of the golf course, so be careful to shout a fair warning before sending that ball through the air! Just at the entrance of the course, you will find a fair sized snack bar serving finger foods and sandwiches as well as a variety of beverages to quench your thirst as you golf.

The Sporting Arena A short distance from the main, grand estate lays a colossal enclosed dome that harbors man different kinds of sports, whether your interests are fighting, racing, archery, swimming, chariot racing, or other types sports. The dome, from the outside, resembles that of a ginormous stadium. It has four entrances; one from the north, south, east, and west. Inside, one will find that the Sports Arena has shaped to the reason for their being there. If one has come to play a good game of soccer, thus is how the stadium will appear. If one wished to brush up on their sword fighting or archery skills, monsters, dummies, and targets will be arranged to one’s preference. The Sports Arena is also able to change to the terrain that suits the event most. If a rocky area is needed, the floor will change. However, if several people need the Sports Arena, it will separate the activities so each person has an equal amount of work space. For large scaled tournaments and competitions, the dome will create the correct number of seats for each person. Unlike in a normal stadium, these seats are comfortable for one’s viewing pleasure. There are also rooms where one may change into the clothing required of their work. For those who have been working hard and need a good shower, the Sports Arena provides those. Because water is a necessary part of any sport, there are ample places to get this and keep oneself hydrated. When a basic fighting competition occurs, the stadium’s floor will rise and a platform shall appear onto which the fight takes place. Common fights held on platforms consist of simple sword fights and hand to hand combat. All in all, if you want to train and have a good time all at once, the Sports Arena is the place for you.

The Island
Theal Meadows (1 sub-board) Just outside the mansion gates stretches a vast meadow that is plentiful in colorful, exotic flowers of various species. Small, gently rolling, green hills give the land a bit of character. Theal Meadows is a lovely place where wild flowers thrive and butterflies glide. The area is perfect for riding horses or Unicorns. Nearly every kind of color combination, including rainbow, can be found in the remarkable flowers that spring from the ground majestically. You may even seen small Fairies that inhabit the area. If you’re lucky enough to catch one, maybe it will grant you a wish. Be careful though, for fairies are tricky creatures who can be nasty if things do not go as they plan. The weather here is usually hot and sunny, but rain showers are very common during certain months.
Kihou Mountain (1 sub-board) Kihou Mountain is a mountain formed by a dormant volcano. It is the largest mountain in Otium. The island is said to have formed because of the once active volcano. Even though the volcano is dormant it continues to give off an excessive amount of heat, warming all of Otium, and giving it a tropical feel all year round. Kihou Mt. has such luscious vegetation; however, due to the extreme amount of heat bubbling under the surface of Kihou Mountain, deforestation is a common site. At the peel, of Kihou Mountain lies a lake that was formed by rainfall caught in its bowl. Water from Aikou Lake overflows from the edges of the peek and cascades down the side of the mountain as a large river, known as En’undou. En’undou River flows in a swirling pattern around the mountain until it finally streams off a cliff jutting from the side. The water then falls, which is known as Elliah Falls into Atsui Springs. From there, the water is guided into the Kuroi Canyon. It is said someday this volcano will again be active.
Atsui Springs Underneath the springs are lava pockets that warm the water to a comfortable and enjoyable temperature. Plants of many types thrive well around the Atsui Springs due to the rich soil from volcano. The springs are said to be an oasis at the base of Kihou Mountain and in truth, they are. The air here is a little stuffy and is usually very warm. If you are looking for a way to cool down, all you must do is simple swim out to under the waterfall. Gratefully enough, the pulsing water from the waterfall will not push you under the water and keep you there so it is safe to swim around in the area. The water from Elliah Falls is cold and it mixes in with the hot water from Atsui Springs. This creates the pleasantly warm waters for any to rest or swim in. The spring is a great place to visit if one has sore muscles. The warm water will help to take away the soreness. Make sure not to spend too much time in the hot water. It can causes nose bleeds or loss of conscious.
Kuroi Valley (1 sub-board) At the time when Kihou Mountain was still active, the volcanic ash that was blasted into the sky fell to the earth and landed particularly upon the Kuroi Valley. The heat that clung to the ash flakes caused sparks to flare in the plants and soon most all of them were dead. Today, only the vegetation that is immune to heat grow in the area making it vast and barren. Sand covers the floor in a rough carpet while rocks litter the ground. Unlike normal sand or rocks, in Kuroi Valley, they are black, another side effect from the falling ash. Before the great bursts of ash, Kuroi Valley was a true valley with green, lush plants, but now it is nothing more than a dark canyon. Because the En’undou River flows through this part, it cut a groove deep into the land bringing forth the birth of the Kuroi Valley. To respect the formerly pleasant area, the name was not changed. The river is quite wide in certain areas and not so much in others. There are a few rapids here and there but nothing too dangerous.

Nysiss Forest (1 sub-board) To the right of Therdas Sea and Avalon Heights grows a lively, lush green forest where good things like Elves and Royal animals dwell. Trees larger than any other on the island reside here as well, many beyond the years of any other regular tree. There is one tree in particular that is located in the very center of Nysiss Forest. When you enter this forest, there seems to be a strange yet soothing hum that can be heard throughout the entire area. The humming sound comes from the trees who are happy to be where they are. When things for the island are not boding well, the trees will stop their humming. This can often be used as a surefire way to determine if something bad is happening. There is also a feel of magic that lingers in the air. This place is a wondrous place where exploring is always fun and usually safe. Bare in mind to not harm the trees or else you might find yourself in a horrible situation. In Nysiss Forest, the temperature is cooler than the outside world due to the ample shade provided by the trees. The air also has a slightly moist quality to it.
Ixten, Forest Of Death (1 sub-board) Opposite of Nysiss Forest is the Ixten Forest. Just from a single glance, one can derive to the fact that Ixten is everything Nysiss is not; darkness. The trees grow really close together and no sun breaches their canopy of dark leaves. If you happen to be watching, you might even see a tree move in an uncanny way. Hardly any color is ever found in Ixten. If it is, then it is usually something that isn’t normally found in Ixten or comes in the form of some animal. When people enter Ixten, they often feel spooked out as if something is watching them constantly. It is one of the reasons many people don’t enter. Here, the creepy crawlers dwell and the air is damp from the water of the swamp. Fog always seems to cover the ground making it difficult to travel anywhere. The animals here are not always the friendliest. Most of the time, they are hungry…
Avalon Heights As you continue on your journey through Theal Meadows, you will soon hear the sound of gulls and the ever ebbing tide of the ocean. Ahead are the deep blue waters that surround the island, but there is no sandy beach like you would expect. It seems as if the land just abruptly turns to ocean. That, however, is not the case. If you travels ahead further, you find yourself standing on a large cliff that overlooks the sea and beach. Avalon Heights is an amazing place where the view can really knock the breath out of you. While Avalon Heights presents you with a wonderfully painted scene during the day, it is best to see this place at night. At night the stars shine brighter here than anywhere else in the world. It really is a site to behold, so don’t miss the chance to visit. It is usually windy up there, though during the day it can be quite hot. At night it’s always comfortable.

Therdas Sea So you’re standing atop Avalon Heights, wondering how you get down to the beach…right? Well that’s simple. Just to the right of the cliff is a area that distinctly looks like a trail. If you follow that trail downwards, you’ll soon be upon the beach. Take heed though, as the path can often be a hard one to follow. Eventually the rocky trail will suddenly turn to sugar white sand that squeaks as you walk on it. The beach is pristine, clean, and very soft to the touch despite baking under the hot sun all day. It is almost always very hot though. The water is warm and perfect for swimming in. Seaweed makes sure to stay clear promising always lucid liquid. The temperature usually ranges from warm to hot, the only thing you have to worry about here being sea serpents.
Koori Castle (4 sub-boards) Whether you’re a flying creature or a land creature, the sight of Koori Castle is an amazing one. If you’re brave enough to cross the dangerous Aisu no Kuro bridge (or are able to fly across), the first thing you’re likely to notice is this gorgeous castle made of pure ice. Appearing to stand hundreds of feet in the air and be made of many different towers, the castle really is a sight to behold. Koori castle is actually an optical illusion of sorts; the castle is only made up of one main room, two towers and the dungeons on the inside, no matter how large it appears on the outside. The palace has to look magnificent, because, of course, it houses Madoka, the island’s goddess and her daughter, Kaori. A pure white brick path leads from Aisu no Kuro to the giant double doors that serve as the entrance of the castle. Only the pure of heart or one with pure intentions are permitted to enter.
Haleigh Lake (1 sub-board) Haleigh lake is a solid ice block. The water is forzen over and has been that way for years. The surface is very thick and it is very unlikely for one to fall into the below freezing waters down under. However the ice is very slippery and it would be easy to break a bone or two trying to walk on the lake. Animals who are strong enough to cut through the ice like to do some ice fishing or even some swimming. This is one of the most beautiful places on Bowl Island, the sun reflects off the ice just right it can cast the whole area into a magnificent wave of rainbow colors.
Oaisara Desert Oaisara Desert takes up about half the area of Bowl Island. This tundra like plan is nothing but ice and snow for miles and miles away. Desert fits it's name for it's powder like snow is as thick as sand and piles up in similiar ways to the deserts in Africa. One must be careful crossing this plan for one can easily get frost bite or even snow blindness. If you step wrong you can find yourself deep inside a crater of ice and snow or even into the waters below the icey surface. One must also watch out for snow drifts and creatures lurking around.
