In a Dark Underground Chamber~
Its floor tiled in an intricate mosaic, this large vaulted chamber is

well decorated.  Two torches are lit at the east and west ends, giving

this room a fair amount of light.  Several tapestries line the walls

here, and the domed ceiling is covered by a large mural.  In the center

of the room is a large @Gstaircase@n which entwines itself sinously about a

white granite column.  It heads upwards, into darkness.  Four arched

doorways lead further into the royal burial grounds.

~
[Nivel] Starshine's gone through it all, and I've done those revisals as pointed out.

[Nivel] I'll be in Nordun's chamber getting eaten by him if you have any questions.

Along a Dark Hallway~
This short hallway is very dark.  Old unused sconces rest on the granite

walls to the east and west.  They hold no torches, but have not rusted,

and are useable.  A faint light comes from the south, but it is pitch

black to the north.  Several tapestries line the wall here, some

newer-looking, others decayed and disintegrating.  Some look like their

seams would probably fall apart at the nearest touch.

Intersection along a Dark Hallway~
This small room connects the hallway to the west with two dark

bedchambers to your north and south.  Arched entrances guarded by solid

mahogany doors lead into them, and there appears to be writing over each

of the arches.  On the east wall, several marble stands hold various

artworks. A great tapestry spans across it, depicting a magical

battle between two sorcerors.  A gold-trimmed crimson carpet heads

north-south, with a red seal woven into it.

This tapestry shows a score of armored, mounted knights and several

in the tapestry.  Some men are hiding in the forest, ready to attack the

enemy.  Other parts of the tapestry show a few small battles where

several men lay dead or dying, some being looked after by angelic figures. 

In the center of the mass is a great warrior wielding a broadsword such

as you have never seen.  Beside him runs a brown-robed figure.  A trail

of fallen men lies behind the duo.

The various sculptures and pottery all seem to depict bloody battles or

Chamber of Joolan~
Covered with thick cobwebs that block light from entering the bedchamber,

this large room is mostly bare.  A few stray books lie on the floor near

a small bed that has endured many years forgotten and unadorned.  A

fireplace has been built into the western wall.  The floor is bare of

cover, consisting of grey, granite rectangular stones that travel

diagonally across from the northeast to southwest.  Several unlit sconces

are mounted on the south wall, overlooking a @Ygolden-colored@n chair. 

Several small candles dot the floors in a circular pattern around the

middle of the room, but they shine no light as they are bereft of the

courtesy of flame.  Two great arched mahoghany doors lead north out of

the bedchamber.

Chamber of Israkth~
This large chamber is well-furnished, but feels cheerless and lonely. 

Cobwebs weave themselves about the room as a canopy, adding a ghostly

tinge to the chamber.  Several richly-embroidered books lie on a shelf on

the west wall, covered in dust, their pages tinted a golden color on the

verge of crumbling.  A massive bed lies to the north, its bedlegs

twisting upwards and lacquered a tawny hue.  A dark, mahogany cabinet

hugs the east wall, from which a three-sided mirror reflects the dim

light around the room.  A long slender frieze depicting a great battle

scene lines the walls of this room, and above the bedpost is a colorful

painting.  Despite the grand appearance of this bedchamber, there is an

unshakable feeling of being watched.  A cold shadow casts itself

ominously about the room.

The frieze tops each wall of the room, depicting several different scenes

Chamber of Varconel~
A still, heavy air hangs in this lavish bedchamber.  A thick carpet of

dust clings to the floor, and clouds of dust form at the tiniest movement. 

Cobwebs have formed all across the ceiling and walls, even on the

lacquered finish of the mahoghany doors.  In the eastern corner of the

room lies a medium-sized bed of intricate design and a bedstand with a

small candlestick and an unlit candle on it.  A @Ygold-rimmed@n glass

chest encases several items where it rests on the western wall.  A

appears to have to apparent purpose.

Several beds line the great chamber here.  A large one stands on the

eastern wall, covered in dust and cobwebs, its frame finished in gold and

its mattress and pillow covered with scarlet silk.  Three others lie

facing it, all smaller and covered in white.  Small wooden bedstands lie

between each of the smaller beds, upon which sit several candlesticks. 

On the south wall a @Bportrait@n hangs.  Two great mahoghany doors lie to

the north, their backsides covered in dust and web.  In the southeast

corner sits a fireplace.  Several books are piled up in the northeast

corner, near the bed, their titles hard to read from the dust and cobwebs

surrounding them.

End of the Narrow Stairway~
The stairway ends here at a flat landing.  A thick iron-bound mahogany

door, rusted at the hinges and looking immovable, lies on the south wall

here, although there hardly seems a purpose to it.  The stairs winding

upwards are dirt-stained and barred by cobwebs in every direction. 

Several insects have made their homes down here, and they crawl amongst

the dirt and scurry about harmlessly.  A large earthen pile has covered a

small part of this stairway, where a small lancet would have looked down

upon the ground long ago.  Across from it a large brass sconce lies,

embossed with a two-headed serpent, but it has been long since it has

seen torchlight.  Built of solid granite and well-mortared, this

fortification would probably have made a fine castle, from the looks of

it.

Chamber of Nordun~
This huge chamber is well-decorated.  A mural covers the entire southern

end of this ovular chamber.  In the northeast corner a rough granite

staircase makes its way upwards, where a small yellow outline on the

northeastern end is projected from its entrance up above, giving the room

its only light.  South of here, on the far end, lies an enormous mahogany

bed.  A few feet from it, facing the center, lies a small golden chair. 

To the right and left of the bed sit two bedstands.  The ground here is

of a white marble which alternates black and white like a chessboard.  To

the east lies a large walk-in closet, but it seems to be empty.  On the

west end, a great mirror stretches across the wall, splitting the room's

light and giving the bedchamber a larger look to it.  However, despite

the splendour of this room, something is amiss, and trepidation seems to

dwell in the air.

four heavy granite arches leading down to ground give a good impression

In a Circle of Pines~
White pines encircle a barren landscape of dirt.  The dark, loose black

earth looks out of place from the brown soil.  The black, nutrient-rich

soil in the middle is devoid of any grass or other plant life.  A tiny

path leads south through a natural archway of two pines, and there

appears to be a larger path south of here.
