348. PURPLE HALL
 
The stones here are of a deep purple
color, and all furnishings are of a similar
hue: a mauve carpet, lilac and puce wall
hangings, even a long table with 12
chairs and a larger one at its head are lacquered violet. Bronze candelabra are on
the table, and bronze wall sconces are
placed at regular intervals. This place
was probably a council chamber. The
south wall bears a large map of the Flanaess, with the Temple at its center. It
shows the conquests of the Temple
shaded in purple, along with dots of purple, black, red, green, white, and brown.
Some cryptic marks are by each dot,
shown by most cities and towns.

If read magick is used to examine the map,
its writings reveal the identities of individuals in many nations.
Each is a (secret agent
of Chaotic Evil, serving Zuggtmoy, luz, and
some aspect of Elemental Evil. If this map is
taken to the Archcleric of Veluna at Mitrik,
he will pay a 10,000 gp reward for the info,
and those responsible earn the high
favor of Veluna. Continue if the door to the
east is opened:
 

The walls of the small room to the east
bear an assortment of weapons: longbow,
quiver of a score of arrows, sword<broad sword>, spear<8'-10' = 5#, SF7 = ox tongue?>,
and sheaf of 4 javelins.
All of the weapons except the bow are silvered; the arrowheads are solid silver. The
secret door can only be triggered by inserting an arrowhead into a small opening.
