The Ballroom:
As the massive oak doors slowly open at your touch, you see a large room stretch out before you. It's marble floor, stained the color of obsidian is polishes to a brilliant shine and reflects the ceiling above. Large stone pillars reach to the highest parts of the ceiling from the floor. They are graced with uncountable carvings and designs without even the smallest space untouched by elaborate artwork, possibly the work of dwarves. Massive drapes hang between these pillars with intricate depictions of events long passed and events possible yet to come. Along the walls are tables of heavy wood carved in much the same style as the pillars. These tables are covered in alternating tablecloths of ebony and crimson satin. Off on the far side is a slight elevation. This area, of course, would be the location of a band during an event of celebration. Soft violin music can be heard faintly. It's melody echoing quietly though out the entire ballroom.
