[Theren Keep, Dais]
A few steps or so above the polished marble deck, this raised platform nevertheless grants a commanding presence over the great hall.  Glowing braziers flank the Baron's throne, infiltrating the chamber with feeble, reddish light and the pungent smell of burning herbs.  Gazing downwards, the hall seems barren and quiet despite its restoration, mourning the ancestral knights, ladies, battle songs, and ballads that echoed through the keep so long ago.
You also see a stone pedestal.

>look gyff
You see Baron Gyfford Theren, a Human Paladin.
Curly, ash-blonde hair has been pulled back and tied with gold cord.  A few sun-streaked strands that refuse to be tamed, escape to frame his ruggedly handsome face.  Deep-set sapphire eyes are flecked with gold, glinting like the reflected rays of a setting sun on a calm blue sea.  His chiseled jaw supports a regal nose and generous mouth.  He has an athletic build, carrying himself with the confidence of one used to bearing the burdens of a province on his broad shoulders.
He is tall for a Human.
He is in his prime for a Human.
He is in good shape.

He is wearing a General's badge, a hammered gold circlet set with glistening cabochon bloodgems, a polished leather morawen with a broadsword and a gleaming steel sabre secured to it, a pristine white linen shirt accented with gleaming haralun cufflinks set with intaglio bloodgem shields, a formal royal blue tunic adorned with braided rope shoulder boards and sweeping aiguillettes, a suit of gold-washed field plate armor, an ornate white gold ring with the Baronial seal of Therengia carved into a massive square cut bloodgem, a double-wrapped black leather sword belt riveted with wrought gold stars and lion head medallions, a discreet black spidersilk travel pack with a gold knotwork clasp, some royal blue breeches striped in gold satin along the outer legs and some supple black leather riding boots.

Finnris grins.

With a graceful movement of her hands, Zalinyar lowers her head and sinks into a formal curtsy before Gyfford.

You follow Madigan down.
[Theren Keep, Great Hall]
Seven columns span the chamber in a vast semi-circle of burnished black marble, the middle three curving around a broad dais while the outer pairs brace high, spectacular balconies.  Striking blue-gold banners and silken tapestries proclaim the royal colors of Therengia, but these minor ornaments pale before the tiled dome ceiling and a massive, seven-sided table which dominates the great hall.
You also see a swinging deobar door, an ornate gilded birdcage on a jewel-encrusted stand, a well-lit corridor, a flower arch of fairy fern twined with white roses, orange blossoms and stephanotis and some scissor chairs positioned around the table.
