[Breach, Cavern of Ages] The chamber's walls are modulated with the same large recesses that pocket the walls of the chamber to the north. Inside each, the red stone is polished to an indulgent surface that highlights the striations in the rock. On the cavern's eastern wall however, something went horribly wrong. The undulating niches are blasted into shambles around a central oval just behind a golden pedestal. There, the rock looks like it has melted, running down the side of the cavern in eddies of molten stone. You also see a golden pedestal with a nebulous sphere hovering above it. Also in the room: Lord Thomasl who is kneeling, the body of Lord Artuero who is lying down, Lord Rasulis who is kneeling, the body of Lord Jala who is lying down, the body of Lord Krackenstar who is lying down, the body of Lady Rayyne who is lying down, the body of Lord Berr who is lying down, the body of Lady Merry who is lying down, the body of Lord Terate who is lying down Obvious exits: north.
