FEAST HALL. This monstrously huge room was used for large scale
dining. There is a central depression which is another fifteen feet
below the floor level and the ceiling height of this area is also
greater than the outer rim. The ceiling height of the outer rim is
twenty feet, while the ceiling height of the central area is thity
eight feet above the door level, or fifty three above the depressed
floor.
The
depressed area can be reached by several staircases scattered about
the room. A wooden rail also wraps around the area to prevents
falls. The outer rim is floored in stone blocks and the lower area
has a floor of strong wooden beams. There are many wooden benches
and tables scattered throughout the area, but other portions are
bare, as these pieces have been taken by the Red Legs to use as
firewood and for their own furniture. Forty three antler horn
chandeliers hang from the ceiling, five are missing, crashed in the
depressed area. Small open arched windows are allow persons on the
First Floor in Rooms 1, 3, and 61 to look into this space.
The
stairs in the northwest corner ascend to a corridor near Room 5 on
the First Floor. The door leading to the cooks and scullery maids
quarters (Rooms 5 to 8 on this floor) is barred from the inside by a
plank of wood. The doors to Room 3 are locked from the Kitchen's
side. These are all precautions taken by the Red Legs to keep out
monsters.
The
site designated 'X' refers to a leak of cold water raining down from
Room 8 on the First Floor. The leak is a steady drip causing a large
puddle. It has not yet flooded into the depressed area. There are
six huge stained glass windows in the north wall and thirteen more in
the the east wall depicted battles between men, giants, dragons, and
similar fantastic creatures.
