A Guest's Quarters
  This room serves as guest quarters for those
visiting Castle Selinas.  Essentially this is a
small cave in the mountain that has been carved out
by the cloud giants when they created their castle.
The rock of the mountain appears very malleable
under the right amount of pressure, which the cloud
giants can supply.  The quarters have been nicely
decorated with a bed, desk, and book shelf.

The Grand Foyer of Castle Selanis
  This foyer is the grand entry way to the great
Castle Selanis.  This castle appears to be incredibly
old, having sat in these mountains and witnessed
many civilizations rise and fall in the surrounding
areas.  The stone of the castle has been carved
directly out of the mountain peak.  The surrounding
clouds around the castle seep in through windows
and fill the rooms with a fine mist.

   The path continues along the mountain top here.
This area is right in the cloud line and it is very
difficult to see very far down the path.  Every now

more of the path to be visible.  The area is worn
very deep from what looks like cloud giant tracks.

A Misty Shaft
 This shaft travels up into the mountain, extending as far as
the eye can see. The shaft seems to be very large like some kind
of giant would be able to travel up it. There are many different
mists floating around the area, and seem to be traveling upwards,
making it very easy to just go with the flow. The rocks are all
very smooth for this area, and there seems to be a light a ways
