High Halls of Ragnarsson Rock

High Halls of Ragnarsson Rock - The new Olafson Clan High Halls

The High Halls of Ragnarsson Rock (now the new home of the Olafson clan ) are perhaps the most impressive of all Nilfeheim.

They are a testament to the great wealth the Ragnarsson clan maintained throughout its long history. The lavish use of wood, a material  not found on Nilfeheim imported from other worlds at great cost and the level of craftsmanship by hiring only the very best is perhaps the  most obvious display of that wealth. (Elena Olafson found a Union Insurance policy signed by Erik Gustav putting a value of over 5 million Union Credits on the High Halls alone)

The main feature of the high halls is a huge stone and wood table, with an open fire pit in the middle (that is only filled with imported coal and lit at great festivities)

The entire hall is over 50 meters long and 20 meters wide. The ceiling is 20 meters high.

The walls are constructed out of local granite, durocrete and steel rafters (covered in wood).

At one end is the so called Clan Lords retreat, accessed via wide stairs (three steps) two curved stair cases to each side lead to the upper levels.

Another famous feature is a titanic fire place made out of the skull of a Tyanno Fin. A second smaller fire place is at the Clan lords retreat area.

The walls are decorated with weapons, harpoons, shields, flags and tapestries. Traditional lighting is provided by natural gas torches (that also burn a small portion of Tyranno Oil to give the

fire a more orange hue and the distinctive smell of burning oil.

The Olafson's added the famous Skull chandeliers, made of the skulls of slain enemies.
