Reaching the top of the stairs, you stand before a large mansion, seemingly carved from the rockface itself. It stretches almost the entire diameter of the mountain, with open windows set into its walls. The age of the mansion is unknown, but it must be nearly a thousand years old, judging by the architectural styles. Alabaster tiles covering the walls and roof give the entire structure a whitish hue that catches the stray shaft of light and turns it into a dazzling kaleidoscope of colour. Occasionally you have the impression that eyes are watching you from the windows, but you never manage to catch sight of whomever it might be. Twin obelisks of dark obsidian stand before the doorway, each carved with runes older than even the dragons themselves. You are unable to make out the runes on the pillars, although you sense that they must mean some form of warding or guardianship. Your attention is drawn to a pair of large doors made from solid oak. The doors themselves stand nearly 60 feet high, with brass edgings and features. A bas-relief of a dragon in flight graces the doorway, made from inlaid gold and studded with gems.
