A chilling wind twists around a massive granite pillar as well as through
the smallest gaps in your armor.  This spacious room is dominated by a
massive pillar.  The intricately carved pillar is dark black and bears
highly defined ridges and valleys.  The tiled walkway around the pillar is
wide enough to accomodate a battalion.  A dark passageway leads off to the
west and east.
