Shyen is a member of my guild. His character is into research and collecting things. I wanted his house to feel like there was a richness to it but to also have some places that feel comfortable and warm. I used lighting to change the feeling of some of the rooms. Cooler lighting in the more formal areas and warmer light in the comfortable ones. 
      Shyen is an Illusionist and an Alchemist so I wanted to include elements of magic and alchemy into his house. He's also a collector of things so I included that into his lab area. He had so many books! I found some interesting ways to use them other than putting them onto bookshelves.
      I had a lot of fun working on this house at 2 Bayle Court in South Qeynos on the Crushbone server and stuffed it full even with the expander in it!
