Hall under the mountain
Cold stone, a fire that never goes out, and a raven watching you work
A vast hall carved into the mountain, where a forge burns orange against grey granite and banners hang on gold-inlaid pillars. An open ledger waits on the near workbench beside a pen and a brass rule, and a raven has settled on the anvil as though it came to check your figures. Through the great opening, a bridge spans the chasm and daylight pours down the cliffs.

In this room
- A journal: what you write stays in the room, and only the people you choose can read it.
- A sound of its own — rain, a fire, a radio station to leave playing.
- A clock that keeps your time.
- A window with the real weather where you are.
- A note for the day, where you will see it.
- Frames for your own photographs.
- An assistant that knows the room and what you keep in it.
- A shelf for your files.
- A lamp that turns the room from light to dark.
- A flame flickers.
- The lamps give a soft glow.
- After dark the same room has a night of its own, with its own light.
