A miniature rose window engaged on the western wall distributes colored
red and yellow light across the base of the semi circular room.  In the
center of the room is a stylistic podium, upon which a thick, highly
detailed book rests.  The cover of the book is covered in metal with
complimented ivory carvings.  Your admiring gaze turns to the actual pages
of this codex.  Noticing it is translated into a classicizing style of your
understanding, you begin to read a few pages.  Small illustrations of
stylistic figures accompany the hand written passages, which speaks of an
archaic trial for courageous youths and the folly of the fearful.
