A wave of sweltering heat washes over you as you step into the place. The great doors of polsihed bronze reflect the leaping flames. Tapestries adorn the walls of the northern section, depicting scenes of fire in all of its evil glory. The air seems to carry motes of rust colored luminecscence, and the flecks of blue and mica flakes in the polished granite walls appear to leap and dance as if the stone itself were on fire.A brass tube, 20' long and 2' in diameter, is suspended from the ceiling by chains of the same metal. Just to the north and south of this tube are three foot deep, diamond shaped fire pits, flames roaring brightly within them. To either side of the tube are brass stands holding many small blocks of charcoal. To both sides of the hall, behind the rows of ornately fluted pillars, stand great copper cauldrons, steaming and bubbling. Before each of these vessels is an octagonal brass table; the tables each contain 16 bowls and a copper dipper.Further south is a massive, transluscent block of golden apatite. Skulls grin from the altar's sides, inlaid in gold. Atop the altar is the eight-pointed fire symbol, also wrought it gold. --- MAP ---</blockquote>
