====== Great Hall ======
{{ ::greathall.png?300|}}
The throne room of [[sabek_palace|Sabek Palace]]. The walls are lined with mounted trophies of all manner of beast slain in [[taron|King Taron's]] name. The heads of many [[dragul|Dragul]] generals and warriors are included in the display.

A [[durgolium|durgolium]] seal rests in the center of the hall's floor. It is decorated with all sorts of ancient symbols. Two thrones are situated at one end of the hall.

A recessed alcove is tucked away between the remains of a [[bugbear|Bugbear]] and [[dragon|Dragon]]. It has been boarded up. "DO NOT REMOVE BY ORDER OF [[taron|TARON]]" is painted in red across the wooden slats.

Using the [[focusing_lens|focusing lens]], you will notice tiny runes carved into the [[durgolium|durgolium]] seal. Some appear to be Dragul in nature.

If you have [[tarik_nowlin|Tarik Nowlin's]] [[prybar|prybar]], you will be able to pull the planks away from the alcove. Within the space, you find and pull on a [[durgolium|durgolium]] lever. With loud groans, the seal on the floor opens to reveal a spiral staircase leading to the [[chamber_of_illusions|Chamber of Illusions]] below.

You are drawn into the room by a gentle ringing sound. Upon entering, you find [[sleecrath|Sleecrath, Goddess of Binding]]. She is holding a [[needle_of_binding|needle]] the size of a spear. This is the [[needle_of_binding|needle]] you have been ordered to retrieve.

If we don’t stabilize the rift, it will tear Sabek apart, just like they did in the Dragul lands.”// - [[sleecrath|Sleecrath]] - Silver Thread of Fate (LC1)

Upon visiting the throne room herself, [[rose|Rose]] questions how much her childhood acquaintance [[taron|Taron]] has changed since she knew him;

>//It seems [[taron|Taron’s]] display of taxidermied heads is even more disturbing to her than she is letting on. She knew [[taron|Taron]] fairly well in their youth, and to think that he could enjoy having just a grotesque collection makes her worry not only about him but about her own judgment of character.//  - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)

In contrast, the [[taron|king]], though outwardly proud of his accomplishments, himself seems haunted by his collection;

>//“[[dragul|Dragul]] hordes!” he cries to his wall of trophies. “Haunt me no more!” With that, he hurls the [[bluestone_fireball|fireball]] against the wall with all his might. The thunderous explosion echoes around the hall and rings in your ears long after the smoke has cleared.//
