Description
The characters enter a circular room, that it is illuminated by natural light falling in through large stained glass windows. At the far end of the room is a sitting statue of The Unconquered Sun overlooking the room. Behind the statue is a metal mirror, convex, that radiates the captured light. The mirror is mounted on a long pole Thus it seems that the statue is crowned by the disc of the Sun itself.
The walls are dominated by the large stained glass windows showing deeds of the Choosen. Under these, at waist height, is a band of runes, dedicated to the glory of the sun. At the center there is a circular slab framed by a small orichalcum band inscribed with runes. The slab itself is devided into sixteen sectors, each richly engraved. The center of this slab is a circular plaque that depicts another solar disc, just like the mirror.
The runes are written in Old Realm:
- The first thing you have ever seen\\
At it's path beginning it now treads\\ The picture's twin waiting there it dreads\\ That yet again the time unfilled has been

- Das Erste was Du je erblickt \\
Erneut am Anfang seines Pfades steht\\ Dort wacht der Bilder Zwilling einst entrückt\\ Auf das die Zeit nicht unerfüllt vergeht.
