This room is more tastefully decorated
than the rather spartan living quarters found elsewhere
in the stronghold. It is the personal chamber of Rogahn's mistress
and lover, who apparently lived at the stronghold for
some time. But NOW it appears that she, along with so many
others who lived here, has long since been gone.

There is a large walnut bed against the West wall, rather ornately
carved (somewhat resembling the bed in room 5—see
the description there—but with no name engraved on the
headboard). The bed has a large canopy of embroidered
green cloth with a striking reddish trim, but it is very dusty like
everything else in the room.

Next to the bed is a small table/nightstand with a single
drawer. Beside it against the wall is a chest of drawers made
of red cedar, which, despite its age, still has the
characteristic smell. In the drawers are an assortment of
leather items, old clothing, and personal effects like combs, <slippers, robe, cap, toga, linen (drawers)>
brushes, and hairpins. One comb is a silver-plated item
which is of moderate value, being worth 5 g.p. On top of the <1 pp>
chest is a tortoiseshell dish which is empty except for a single <0 pp>
gold piece coin lying in it, and this rests upon a frilly lace
cloth along with two small capped bottles 1/2 full of perfume.

On the NORTH wall just to the West of the secret door is a large
full-length wall mirror in a wooden frame. The crown of the
frame is carved into attractive curving designs, and there is
an inscription hewn into the finished wood which says in the
common language, "To the fairest of all in my eyes."

In the NorthWest corner of the room is an attractive water basin
which is sculpted from the same rock which forms the wall
of the room. Indeed, this protrusion is an integral part of the
wall itself. A hole in the bottom of the basin is stopped with a
rotting cork; this crude drain lets water drop to an inclined
piece of rock which drains into a crack in the wall. There is no
running water in the room, however.

A small tapestry measuring 3' x 4' hangs on the east wall. It
depicts a handsome and robust warrior carrying off a beautiful
maiden in a rescue scene set in a burning village, with a
horde of ominous-looking enemies viewing from afar. Embroidered
in gold cloth at the top of the scene are the words,
"Melissa, the most dearly won and greatest of all my treasures."
The tapestry is within a wooden frame, and is firmly
anchored to the wall. It cannot be removed without damaging
it, in which case it will only carry a value of 40 g.p. <8 pp>
