The Great Bridge

Towering above the waves, encrusted with barnacles, a bridge spans the sea, high enough for ships to sail under it, and long enough to disappear into the horizon in either direction. Once a great trade route, now, the tower outposts --stationed every twelve miles or so--are mostly abandoned. The only living evidence of its former grandeur are a few fishing villages built right on the bridge and scaffolded haphazardly onto its columns. They still cheerfully charge a petty toll to those who seek to cross.

Basically any space that is best served by a large, open area, especially one with high, vaulted ceilings. (And remember, if the ceilings aren't vaulted, they are quite liable to collapse! Better get some pillars in there...) With a room like this, I find myself a little at a loss at first to come up with new aesthetic flourishes; mostly it's all about the layout. However, there are a few things I find fit well in rooms like this: Fireplace...

Dungeon Room Index: Entrances

Image
I'm making dungeon rooms. Per the suggestion of u/BluSponge over on reddit, I thought it would be very appropriate to start with Dungeon Entrances (or "starting areas", as for the most part we're dealing with the interior  of the dungeon entrance, not the facade outside).
