Evening by the fire in a castle common room
This castle common room by the fire seats you in a red armchair at night, and it is free to enjoy in your browser. The big stone fireplace is right in front of you. Logs crackle and pop, and the flames roar softly up the chimney.
Somewhere behind you, others talk in low voices, too soft to follow. A tall clock ticks in the corner, slow and steady. A page turns, then a few more, and a quill scratches across paper.
Wind whistles faintly at the tall windows, but it cannot reach you here. The low voices and the slow clock make the late hour feel safe. You are among friends, yet nobody needs a thing from you. The fire glows a steady gold, and the evening stretches out ahead of you.
For the fire and the pages without the talking, choose Without voices. Fire only leaves nothing but the crackling logs.
What you hear in the castle common room
- Fireplace crackling: Big logs crackle and pop in the deep stone fireplace, under a soft and steady roar of flames. Plays all the time.
- Common room murmur: Many people talk quietly across the common room. The voices are soft and far off, and no single word stands out. Plays all the time.
- Old clock ticking: A tall old pendulum clock in the corner gives a slow, soft wooden tick-tock. Plays all the time.
- Wind at tall windows: Night wind gusts around the castle tower and whistles past the tall arched windows. Plays all the time.
- Turning a page: Someone near the fire turns a single page of a book. Plays at random moments, about 3 times every 10 minutes.
- Turning pages: A few pages of a thick old book are leafed through gently, close to your chair. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
- Quill writing: At the table, a quill scratches across paper as someone writes. Plays at random moments, about twice every 10 minutes.
