<716hp 1061m 361mv>  7767tnl Entrance to the Hall
  The gray stone walls of the Hall writhe with shifting shadows as the silver
light of gleaming torches shifts and flickers.  A palpable silence hangs in
the air, broken only by the occasional sputter of a torch, or the ring of
steel on steel from the Hall of Flame.  A strange serenity fills your soul,
like the calm before a storm.  Huge Maran Tara'bal stride past on the orders
of the Phoenix, moving with utter silence.  A gray corridor extends to the
north, and you can step through the entranceway to the snowy courtyard to 
the south.

  This corridor is made entirely of dark gray stone.  Enormous flagstones
join perfectly to the walls supporting the high ceiling.  Suits of gray 
armor stand in alcove, each the garb of a great Maran who has gone beyond.
Torches in silver sconces hang beside each alcove, burning with bright
silvery flame.  Eerie silence hangs in the air, almost as if the corridor
itself were somehow waiting.  The corridor continues north and south.

A Stone Corridor
  Unlike the halls this corridor seems to have been carved out of the
mountain and unfinished with any additional stonework. The walls and
floor have been smoothed and widened to allow easy passage through
the corridor but it still has a roughly hewn look and feel to it. From
the east a bright light seems to spill out of a large chamber.
 


<716hp 1061m 357mv>  7767tnl The Council Chamber
  This huge chamber is the meeting hall of the Fortress. Used for
both planning of assaults and general fellowship amongst the 
members of both halls. A huge symbol of the fortress has been
inlaid on the northen wall. It is not by accident that it is 
here where the Hall of the Acolytes intersects with the Hall of
the Brigade. A long spiral staircase, carved out of the mountain
itself leads far up inside the mountain.

A Light Filled Corridor
  Stretching between the council chamber and the great temple this corridor
pulses with swirling light. Growing brighter to the north where the light 
seems to spill out of a carved stone archway. There is a gentle warmth to
this corridor that seems pleasant, but unnatural. Looking around the corridor
you notice small veins of mithril within the wall. To the north a stone archway
leads to the temple, to the south the council chambers open up.
 


<716hp 1061m 355mv>  7767tnl n
The Grand Temple
  A huge temple has been carved out of this cavernous chamber. High
above a graceful dome has been painstakingly carved into the rock, and
inlaid with a pale white marble. Along the east and west walls of this
enormous chamber huge flowing tapestries displaying the symbols of the
Brigade and the Acolytes are majesticly draped. It is within this 
chamber that meetings are held and praises to the Light are offered up
by the devout. Placed throughout the room, in non-obtrusive places
several stout chests have been placed for spare gear, and donations for 
others of the Light. Though well lit an even brighter light spills in
from a stone archway to the north.
 


<716hp 1061m 354mv>  7767tnl n
The Altar Room
  Bright silver radiance pulses strongly throughout this chamber.  Many holy
relics line the wall of this most sacred of places.  A brilliant white altar
rests in the center of the room, built on the center of a huge symbol inlaid
in the gray flagstones of the floor. An aura of serenity seems to hang in 
the air. Large stone arches open to the east, south and west.
