This is a large hallway, used by many people.  The reason for its traffic
is that it is in the center of the castle, leading to all the major rooms,
including the king's chamber.  The floor is tiled stone, made from slabs of
limestone.  The hall is dark, as no light enters from the outside.  Even
during the middle of the day, torches are lit all along the walls.  The hall
continues to the south and east.  To the northwest is a smaller hallway, and
to the north you can see the bottom of a very large staircase.
