You are in the long central hallway inside the Runic Castle.  The hall
here is brightly lit by large candles on either side, held in silver
candlesticks anchored high up on each wall.  The candles are lightly scented
with the sweet fragrance of rose petals, softly scenting the air.  The floor
is made of polished marble stone, worn smooth from years of visitors passing
through this hall.  A fancy Persian rug rests on the floor, lining the
hallway passages with beautifully weaved sceneries of Rune.  A short hallway
splits off to the east, and the central hall continues to the north.
