You climb down an old stone staircase.
[Shrine of Leya, Secret Passage]
Clay and shale walls glisten with a slight, damp trickle from the verdant forest above, sproutings of tangled roots run along the sides like skeletal fingers. The gently sloping dirt floor leads down a torch-lit passage towards a flickering light glowing brightly at the far end. Along the east wall, a long tapestry has been draped, illumination showing through where the edges warp and bow out. You also see an old stone staircase and a discolored iron chain.

[Shrine of Leya, Egan's Tomb]
Opening up into a vast circular chamber, the tomb is dominated by a simple black marble bier upon which rests an ornately-carved serpentine catafalque. Rusted iron lamps mounted on the walls burn quietly, the faint aroma of their bdellium-scented oil filling the air.

>The base of the bier is etched with the trunk of a large tree of life, and its burdened branches stretch out to each side. Individual leaves have been polished to a glossy sheen adding a bas-relief effect to the catafalque's altar.
>look catafalque
>Exquisite details in the carving of the serpentine catafalque render an amazing likeness of a handsome elven male lying in peaceful repose. A thin seam barely divides the top from the base, the only suggestion that this elegant sculptural study is actually a final resting place.

[Shrine of Leya, Amazon's Vestry]
Slightly L-shaped, the clay walls here have been smoothed carefully, then panoramically-carved with many figures of armor-clad women bearing weapons. A large black marble slab table paired with wooden benches extends the length of the room.

There is a wall that can be read but it went wonky when I tried to post it up as I saw it in the log, soo.. you'll just have to go explore for yourself!
After that there were folks getting daggers and chatting more about things but I figure I got the gist of what happened. As mentioned previously, if you want a less edited version, just drop a note to my play.net address and I'll be happy to send it to you. Chock full of all the conversation and stuff that got edited out of this particular version - The entire thing is 130+ pages.

The sprite yells, "You're doomed, little worm, doomed!"
