Asildu - Eye of Meraud

[Eyes of the Thirteen, Eye of Meraud]
The gem-kissed wolf tracks end their journey at an inscription carved before a polished black granite altar veined in deep purple alexandrite. Sitting on top of the structure is a stunningly detailed statue sculpted from polished granite as dark as the stone from which the altar is made. Encompassing the platform is a faceted dark crystal dome that refracts the incoming light with the glow coming from the braziers into a dimly hued array of color and shadow. You also see a tall silver candlestick.
Also here: Laureh, Enelne's Champion Nawain who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Firehawk Casari and Breath of the Heralds Asildu.
Obvious exits: up.

Asildu says to Casari, "Exhausted."

Ezerak says to Casari, "Instigating isn't so bad, if what you're instigating is right."

Betlind nods.

Ryeka chuckles.

Ollythander laughs!

Ollythander exclaims in a polished accent, "I'd say a pretty good sign!"

Rozalynde says, "Nope, no fire."

Tirost says to Asildu, "When the clans were encased, and all I knew felt lost forever, I hated you. I will own that. But not all things are as they seem, and you have taken great risks and offered real help. Meraud is the god of knowledge and foresight. He will see who you really are, and decide."

Casari says, "Any chance to learn more about an exotic brand of fire is welcome, but in this case, I can deal with the disappointment."
