∏ Dome of Legends ∏

Only the artists whose work has surpassed that of even the Gods themselves, will be honoured in NB's mythical Dome of Legends. This Dome is located on the highest and most dangerous mountain in the world, throwing its shade even over the Olympus. Terrifying animals, cursed fallen warlords, mutilated creatures and crossbreeds between the most foul beasts straight from Hell itself lurk in every cave and shadow of this mountain...and on the top, on its highest peak stands this magnificent Dome.

Build out of the most valuable materials gathered from even the furthest corners of the world and beyond: solid blue and white marble, pure gold and silver, sapphire, emeralds, rubies and diamonds. Every wall, door, pillar...even the tiniest corner is covered in smooth, detailed reliefs that picture the history of the world. Ancient wars between Gods and Titans, human swords and shields clashing with each other, the origin of the world itself. Everything from times long forgotten till the present has been carved in this Dome.

From the foot of the mountain an endless stairs, carved in the mountain walls, spirals around it to the peak. There it goes over into a stone-sculptured path with large, old oaks on both sides of the path in perfect symmetry. The path ends at the humongous gate of the Dome. A gate that stands over 400 feet into the air and is made majestically out of bronze and gold. The gate consists out of two doors, each with a massive dragon sculptured out of it. These two dragons are intertwined with each other to symbolize that the gate is closed. Only once a year, when the first solar rays after the shortest day touch the dragon sculptures, the gate opens for one month. The gate is made so that when it opens, due to the bending of the solar rays and the shades on the door, the dragons become separted to symbolize the open doors.

Inside the Dome you can find NB's most gifted artists and craftsmen. Only three people a year gain the honour to be added to this Dome of Legends.

The solar rays hit the Dragon Doors straight in the eyes. Suddenly a the rubies placed in the door start to shine bright, starting from the mouth downwards, making it appear that the dragon is breathing flames. When the carved, shining ruby flames hit the floor the doors start to open for the first time in a year.

The Dome of Legends is open for 30 days and three new artworks will be added at the end of these 30 days in this Dome under a sealing that seems to support the sky itself.
