[A Mud Hovel]
The tiny windowless hovel feels cramped despite its minimal furnishings. A coarsely woven blanket is folded neatly in the corner. One lone shelf on the wall holds the occupant's only food supplies -- a sack of rice, a pitcher of water and a few wilted mustard stalks are arranged next to a single wooden bowl and spoon. A wizened old Dwarf sits cross-legged in the center of the room.

The Dwarf has a shrivelled, starved look to him; his face gaunt, hollowed and ageless, only a few stringy strands of hair left on his head. Slowly he turns to gaze at you, and his eyes glow with a luminous tranquility. A skeletal finger raises to point at you, and he rasps, "Discipline! With a mastery of discipline, anything is possible!"
You sit in front of the aged Dwarf and wait. For a long time you wait, with no indication that you are even noticed. After an endless period of time he grunts, "You begin to learn. You are not totally useless. Go and practice, return when you are ready to progress further."

A lone candle glows faintly atop a corroded slab of black stone, caked with a filthy mixture of dirt, old leaves, and wax. Its light is eerily muted, and fades into a wall of shadows which seem to press inwards with each tiny flicker of the flame. A thick moist stench assaults you, flowing in warm sickening waves from somewhere out in the blackness. Tangled roots hanging from the ceiling reach out and grab you as you make your way through the near-dark cavern, as if moved by some malicious will.

The Cleric steps behind you and gently holding your shoulders, turns you to face the candle. She whispers softly in your ear, "Concentrate and control your mind.".
As you concentrate on the flame you find it fading in and out of focus until it is not there at all, replaced by a black void. Creatures of the most hideous sorts strike at you from the blackness until fleeing starts to consume your thoughts. From somewhere within, you find the strength to maintain your senses and continually remind yourself this is your mind, your images, and that you and only you can control them.

The office of the Justiciar is plain, balancing on the knife edge between spartan and severe. Nothing but a clean whitewash adorns the walls, except for the east one which has a single red dot painted on it, oddly enough. A simple desk of uncarved wood is pushed up against the back, the papers on its surface in neat, regimented order.

The Justiciar gazes steadily at you, then sets you down in front of a blank wall with a single red dot in the center of it. "Focus on that," he says, his voice calm and even. "Just stare at it...keep staring...don't...move...your eyes."
