Le Château au Durem ~ Hôtel and Casino



User Image

Our Surroundings

The city of Durem is one of the largest and most elegant locations on Gaia. It lacks the peace of Barton Town, beach front of Isle de Gambino, or the industrial force of Aekea. But unlike the other towns, it possesses a beauty and majesty all its own. The clock tower looms over the city, creating a powerful presence with its booming chimes and vibrant glow. The fancy churches and famous courthouse add to the old world feel of the casino's surroundings. The shopping district is host to some of the most elegant and stylish appeal on Gaia, and the stole along the cobblestone streets allows you to take in the full wonder of the cities architecture.



Our History

User Image

The large building is located in the southeast corner, and looks to be from long ago, as most of Durem does. The Durem Mansion was purchased by the now dethroned Von Helson Sisters. It was completely destroyed by the infamous "Fall of Gambino Tower" but like much of the town, after the rubble was cleared, and The Gambino Mansion was moved, it was rebuilt. Ross purchased a nearby building a bit later and took the otherwise unused place and made it a hot spot in Durem. It closed after two years due to the Mohan tragedy, only to be reopened under several new names over the next few years. It remained a place for the tight-knit family lived. When Ross decided to return to Durem, he bought the former Mansion and now with some renovation has reopened its doors to the public.

Unlike like its predecessor, the Marble interior, which was host to the gala ball was destroyed with the rest of the building, has been replaced with a modern twist on luxury. It blends the classic feel of the stone castle with all the modern amenities of a ritzy hotel and casino. When you pass through the old doors, you can see and hear the sounds of fun, laughter and merriment.

The whole place has the perks of modern life, while keeping the spirit of the luxurious Durem castle alive. The hotel provides privacy and comfort for vacationers or romantic retreats, we'll show you how life in Durem should be. We offer the excitement of a casino, nightclub, bar, or any number of other amenities. But you can also be pampered or work on your health, at our relaxing spa, hot springs, or private gym. The atmosphere overlooks the beauty of Durem, granting guests with the lavish architecture, beautiful scenery, and romantic appeal of the old world charm.

Outside by the Cobblestone path sits a black and gold sign reading:

Our Rules...



Our First Rule

The Rules are quite simple, if it's not allowed on Gaia (the T.o.S.) and it's not allowed in the Commerce District of Barton Town (Barton Town>Commerce Forum), then do not do it. Let me explain a bit more in depth.


Our Second Rule

This building is NOT is to be used as a house of ill-repute. Sexual Activity (Cybering) can get us closed down. "Taking it Home" (Private Messages) is also against the Rules. This also means No Soliciting. Romantic encounters can be fun. Where better to meet someone special then at a fun location. But if you start getting frisky, skip it (Time Skip). Public indecency can get both the establishment and yourself in hot water.


Our Third Rule

This building is meant as a place for drinks, dancing, games, and music. The performers do put on a hell of an act. So do enjoy yourselves. While mingling with the patrons and workers is encourages, please do not harass (troll or flame) them, verbally, physically or sexually. (No hurting, fighting, or killing unless it's consenting for the roleplay.)


Our Fourth Rule

The weather outside is always consistent, it genuinely is the same throughout a day, not minute to minute. It's noticeable as you approach the front door (Is located at the top of the page as a poll.). This means everyone will encounter the same outdoor hazards and should be presented as such upon entry (If you describe it in your intro/exit posts, use it as the baseline.).


Our Fifth Rule

While drunkness behavior is acceptable, please make sure you're not walking into walls or fall off the stage. We've made the location easy to navigate. Please make sure you're cognizant and making sense. (Be Semi-Literate. No Chat Speak, L337, No Post-trees longer than 3 Entries, etc. Make sure your posts are as long as possible, No oneliners, and try to post an introduction and exit post.)


Our Sixth Rule

Please when entering the facility do not damage the door-frame or roof, it is very expensive to repair. We ask that patrons of the establishment be of appropriate size, and being inside the building doesn't put us over maximum capacity (Page-stretching Designs or Pictures). This is a hindrance to other patrons.


Our Seventh Rule

We ask that our patrons respect the other patrons and refrain from cussing. While everyone might get mad, stub a toe, or lose a hand or poker, we ask that you avoid over use of such depravity, women are present.


Our Eighth Rule

If our staff can not accomidate you at the moment, you are free to help yourself to the bar or kitchen. We ask that you refrain from destroying things in the process. And if someone is available to assist you, you ask them first.


Our Ninth Rule

Please refrain from messing with a patron if they have departed the club (gone away from their computer). That being said, if you know you'll have to be lost in daydream or pass out (AFK) and will not awake until the following day, please depart (exit post) instead. If you don't The House reserves the right to decide if you're removed from the premises (de facto Exit post) This is a Hotel and does not allow people to sleep on the couches for days at a time. If you're gone and you don't return for many days, you're returning, not waking. If you want to rent a room just ask. Then you can stay in your room as long as you'd like. (Post a new days entrance).


Our Tenth Rule

Please take all complains, misconduct, or mishaps to the Owners or a Staff Member. Do not take matters into your own hands, it can come off hostile. This place is meant to be friendly to all. My Office (Inbox) is always open.


Our Eleventh Rule

Please refrain from adding people or places in the facility that don't exist on the blueprints and payroll (NPC Waiters and Bartenders or random rooms or structures). If no bartenders are available, make it yourself. If no dancers are on stage, find other entertainment. If you have a suggestion, drop it in the suggestion box (My PM Inbox) and it will be considered.

Our Twelfth Rule

Finally, The House reserves the right to alter, add, or remove any and all rules at any given time. Please keep yourself caught up on current standards of patronage and employment. The House reverses the right to refuse service to any patron for an infraction.
