Twenty Fifth Brightening, of the Third Cycle in Immanis Onwards
The Hall of the Thane might have been the official entrance to the offices currently occupied by the leader of Primus Gaudeo, but the actual realm of the Lord Thane was deep within the arched double doors at the end of the corridor. Outside a pair of blue-and-white-bedecked guards stood at alert attention to either side of the wooden frames. Their dress was both ceremonial and official in a blend of elegant formality and common practicality, as matched with the extent of their duties. They had been charged with both scanning the petitioners to the inner sanctum of the Thane as well as providing a symbol of the strength of the city of Primus Gaudeo and the province at large.
All walls, floors, and ceilings had been fashioned out of the cold white marble typical to the Concordia Incola district, although this particular stone seemed to shimmer with sheen of blue. In direct contrast stood the darkly stained wood of the front door, often seen to swing on their heavy hinges as the guards allowed yet another guest that had passed their thorough inspection into the Thane’s inner sanctum. Echoes of the footsteps of aides and other politicians resounded in the hallways before finding themselves muffled underneath the closure of the arched doors.
There were numerous windows bedecking two out of four surrounding walls, all intended to bring in the fullness of the light allowed from the triple suns outside. A few elegant curtains, colored in a matching demure shade of blue, had been hung at either side of the panes of glass but found their shading abilities falling into a continual disuse under the preference of the office’s owner for the extreme amount of natural light.
The streams of illumination fell onto the surrounding four walls, broken into round pillars standing between the windows on the horizontal sides of the room. The wall directly before the entrance, however, had been dressed with only two windows on either side of the center expanse. Cold stone was replaced with the warmer tones of an expansive crest representing the city of Primus Gaudeo. Underneath the city's motto had been carved in elegantly-scripted letters and painted dark in the center of the embedded desk as a contrast to the pale colorings of its background wall.
Underneath the crest, the white-marble desk of the Thane stood in all its expansive glory, stretching four lengths further than one could reach with outstretched arms on either side. Its top was clear, shining and clean, showing a man in complete control of his surroundings. A few fat cream candles sat on dishes of silvery metal in artfully arranged trios, although their original heights had been greatly reduced by late-darkening use.
The large arm chair usually found occupied by the personage of the Thane had been made in the overstuffed style and upholstered with a thick, velvety deep blue embroidered with threads of silver-grey. Matching sapphire chairs had been placed at equal angles before the desk itself and centered around a deeply-stained wooden table. The latter held a small tray of various empty glasses and half-filled bottles, all waiting to perform their duty of refreshment to any and all visitors. A few bookshelves, mostly carrying collections of leather-bound tomes of knowledge and the memories of the past deemed useful to the Thane's usual doings had been set in carefully-arranged order in their appropriate sets. Little other decoration of the office could be seen, minus perhaps a few more collections of candles and their following candelabras placed in strategic areas of the room.
The Thane himself could usually be found working on a piece of parchment. Nothing save the piece of parchment currently being worked on was to be seen on that desk, and Keldon would have been horrified to have clutter anywhere in this room. A set of feathered quills rested in a crystal cup at his elbow, matched by an elegant dark ink well to aid his business of the brightening. Various aides and secretaries often made their way into the office, carrying important notices or information needing the Thane's approval, or at least knowledge, immediately. Representatives from both Primus Gaudep and Centripax at large would often reside in the seats before the expansive desk, carrying on official conversations with the Lord Elsdragon.
He would prefer it should he be able to greet people, but in fact, that was something that was not his to do any more. Instead, his aid, Lleinie Siannodel, would announce any who made it past the rigorous procedures to get in to see him, and Keldon would be standing and waiting. He was tall for an elf, tall indeed, but his long blond hair and mist grey eyes made him stand out. She welcomed visitors, for surely it was an honour to be in the presence of the people that he served.

Physical Description of Keldon Elsdragon:
To the any normal eye that is formiller Keldon is a original sight. Although his height was that of a average Medonian , standing at Six foot four (6'4), his hair was a stunning sight like many other elves aswell. Long golden brown strands gracefully flowing down his head just past the ridges of his shoulders. His skin appeared, and was to the touch silky smooth, the texture of a rose, and from a distance it appeared just that way. Although Keldon had a very original feature over most elves. Many elves are slender, weaker then most but far more agile. However the elf before you is very well built, his muscles toned, strong and refined. They were brought this way from endless training with the sword and countless hours in the fields of his step-fathers castle were he was put through vigiours training. His eyes were also unique, they were for the most part a stunning sky-blue, however somewhere along the lines in his gens was the trait of his eyes shifting colors, depending on his mood, very few knew what color meant what mood he was in.
In general Keldon is a remarkably attractive elven male, that to the first glance and perhaps with the right lighting has been mistake as a angel set from the heavens above, at times from various other deity's, however since he now almost always carries a longsword he has been referred to more commonly a angel from aslan, strong, attractive, with a commanding presence.
