== Arrival to Arhat's Tower ==
[Arhat's Tower, Workshop]<br>
Very little is recognizable from the workshop's original contents. The walls are broken off at half their intended height and the area lies open to the elements. The only obvious sign of the room's prior function, odd glowing stains marking the floor, are most likely the result of past experiments gone awry. You also see a smokey grey leopard with hypnotic crimson eyes and flecks of ashes on her fur that is sitting, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket, a blue iris, a majestic white snowy owl with a hooked black beak, a spotted storm-grey lynx with piercing blue eyes that is sitting, a small aqueous fissure, a white dog that is sitting, a lissome russet panther with rivulets of azure rippling through its fur that is sitting, an articulated maple necklace and a worn stone.<br>

Forest Sprite Lileath went through a stone ring held in place by a golden haze.

== Through the Ring (portal) into the Null Hallway ==

[Unknown, Null Hallway]<br>
This endless expanse of nothingness radiates with overpowering magical energy, oddly manifesting as a disorienting corridor. There is no sense of direction, beyond a loose notion of ahead and behind, though every step in either direction affords a complete lack of sense of having moved. An oppressive emptiness swirls around you, the ground an immaterial force, the air thin and hollow. Stretching in an staggeringly long line, countless individuals sit crosslegged, staring ahead blankly. A thin gossamer filament visibly connects to the base of each of their necks, disappearing into the ground nearby. The filaments twitch occasionally as they pulsate with light. You also see the heraldic unit, a stone ring held in place by a golden haze and a golden hole formed in the space surrounding the area.

Arrival to Arhat's Tower

[Arhat's Tower, Workshop]
Very little is recognizable from the workshop's original contents. The walls are broken off at half their intended height and the area lies open to the elements. The only obvious sign of the room's prior function, odd glowing stains marking the floor, are most likely the result of past experiments gone awry. You also see a smokey grey leopard with hypnotic crimson eyes and flecks of ashes on her fur that is sitting, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket, a blue iris, a majestic white snowy owl with a hooked black beak, a spotted storm-grey lynx with piercing blue eyes that is sitting, a small aqueous fissure, a white dog that is sitting, a lissome russet panther with rivulets of azure rippling through its fur that is sitting, an articulated maple necklace and a worn stone.
Also here: Esotericist Eyst, Shaylynne who is encircled by ethereal phofe flowers, Strawberry Nurse Illiya, Citizen Miraeven, Light of the World Gwenddolyn who is surrounded by a corona of fiery light, Primal Lady Zalinyar who has a fiery visage, Peace Keeper Vaddon, Bastion of Life Karthor, Firehawk Casari, Dragon Zealot Elizzibiana, Gypsy Ysindre, Mountain Lord Ezerak, Ryeka who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Tempest Knight Saragos who has a stony visage, Valta Varna Mistanna, Holy Vengeance Imroth, Mageling Aerilia, Shadow Priest Gragnel, Sonic Sonance Sonatina, Lady of Frostbite Siendra who is camouflaged in a swirling fog of frigid arctic currents, Planar Pilgrim Maintain who is shrouded in ghostly flames, Lady Knight Elurora whose figure is gracefully highlighted in a soft aurora of silvery-violet light, Primal World Ender Anuril who has a fiery visage, Hodierna's Bulwark Kethrai and Death's Messenger Buzan who is shining with a dark golden glow.

Through the Ring (portal) into the Null Hallway

[Unknown, Null Hallway]
This endless expanse of nothingness radiates with overpowering magical energy, oddly manifesting as a disorienting corridor. There is no sense of direction, beyond a loose notion of ahead and behind, though every step in either direction affords a complete lack of sense of having moved. An oppressive emptiness swirls around you, the ground an immaterial force, the air thin and hollow. Stretching in an staggeringly long line, countless individuals sit crosslegged, staring ahead blankly. A thin gossamer filament visibly connects to the base of each of their necks, disappearing into the ground nearby. The filaments twitch occasionally as they pulsate with light.
