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.  An acrid scent drifts in from the
north.
