| This lavishly furnished 30' square chamber is dimly lit by torches
in sconces on the
east and west walls. The many cressets and candelabras are unlit. Colors here are hot, bright ones — reds, oranges, and yellows. The tapestries on the walls depict scenes of the triumph of the Elemental Evil of Fire. Cushions, low tables, and stools are all about, but only one chair is here — a huge wooden seat, laquered red and gilt. A gold skull appears on the arm rests and above the back. <There is a lit brazier in the center of this room.> |
<4 tapestries, 9 square yards each, 45#: 89 gp, 62 gp, 86 gp, 87 gp>
The arched entry to the northwest passage is
covered by hangings and a folding screen.
