Green-Eyed Herald's Chamber

South of the kitchen behind a locked stone door is the atypically comfortable personal quarters of Culttegsu, Herald of the Green-Eyed Prophesy

Design

This room shaped into the Coral of the temple has stone tiles on the floor, lit through the fireplace the chamber shares with the kitchen. Culttegsu's room holds his bed, an exquisitely cushioned chair, a Dresser, a wardrobe, and a chest. A Stairwell centered in the room leads down to the next level
