This room is nearly filled with people laughing, talking, and

eating at the long tables. The smells of strong ale and freshly cooked

meat tantalize your nose, and your eyes boggle at the variety of races

intermingling here. At the eastern end of the room is a huge fireplace

almost 10 feet wide, and tall enough to stand inside. Various carvings

adorn the mantlepiece, and a crossed shield and spear hang in a place

of honour. To the south, you can see a cloakroom.
