>You go further down the hallway. This one is architecturally identical to the western hallway, the panels and scrollwork and light sconces all look the same. What does vary are the individual decorations; the paintings on the wall are all different, and you note a few marble pedestals placed along the all, two bearing vases with brightly colored design, one bearing a stone bust of a stern-looking woman, and the last with a glass statue whose design makes you think of a lake surface caught in mid motion and turned on its end. Like the prior hall, you can see four doors on each side, and it seems to open to another room some dozens of yards ahead. Obvious exists are North, South, East 1, East 2, East 3, East 4, West 1,West 2, West 3, West 4.

> East 1

>You head through the nearest eastern doorway. Inside, you find another large room, this one dominated by a large stage along the northern wall. Huge velvet curtains frame it, while a lowered ceiling arcs over it, the front of it completely covered in scrollwork designed to resemble leaves. Rows of comfortable-looking chairs set before the stage, while a raised dais in the center rear serves as a home to a large chair that seems to be made entirely of brassy scrollwork in the form of vines, padded with huge and comfortable-looking cushions. You can see a door to the north by the side of the stage, and another to the south near the corner. The eastern wall is holds several huge windows, one near the stage, with thick curtains framing them that seem to be make to draw easily. Obvious exits are West, North, and South.

A throne room?

That's actually an interesting thought.

Ooohhhh, the throne is in the back, and not near the stage.

>You head south, and find yourself in a room with light red walls. Here the elaborate scrollwork so prominent in the previous rooms gives way to wooden linings along the edges of the floor and ceiling, bearing elaborate painted carvings on them. The walls bear a sort of subtle red-within-red pattern you can't really discern at a glance. There are a few shelves made of dark wood, holding various knickknacks and books, while a dark-colored chandelier hangs from the ceiling to light the chamber. The paintings on the walls bear strikingly heavy frames, and a few couches and tables sit near the shelves and windows. You note a door to the south, and another to the west. The room is quiet and empty, but you think you can hear voices from nearby. Obvious exists are North, South, and West.

>You approach the southern door and listen at it. Beyond it, you can definitely hear someone talking. You can't quite make out what is being said, but the voice is strong and masculine, and it sounds like he is addressing people. You can a few words; "recent", "that much", and "sparsely".

Maybe some people here have more distinction in their red vision, like their color receptors are slightly lower in frequency.
