A Large Lighted Room                                   -      N     NE 
(-------------------------------------------------)     - <---(M)---> E
                                                        -      S     SE

This room is long, and has a very low ceiling.  The floor is made from
squares of limestone and marble, placed in a checkerboard array.  The walls
are covered in a plaster, then painted over in a variety of colors. 
Compared to the rest of the castle, this room is very well decorated.  You
can hear the faint sound of music somewhere, but you can't tell what
direction it's coming from.
