Before a Circular Stairwell
   The stairwell runs spirally downwards toward the lower levels of the palace.
It's cold stone steps have a small layer of dust settles upon them, and makes
it seem as though this section of the palace has remained dormant for many
days or weeks. A small window to the west gives a great view of the surrounding
city. Tents have been set up on either side of the most traveled roads in the
district, when fires burn during the day, the smell, if anything at all,
reaches the sultan's palace. Some great paintings and murals hang on the walls
on either side of the corridor, almost as if this place welcomes visitors and
guests, however, nothing could be further from the Truth. Sounds echo very
easily in this hallway, booted feet can be heard from every corner.

A Circular Stairwell
   Those who use these stairs are headed to the upper levels of the palace,
where most of the royalty sleeps in high regard. Unless so permitted by the
sultan, anyone entering this staircase would be subjected to endless amounts
of torturing, a slow and painful death for all to hear and take heed to.
Psychological warfare, indeed. However, mostly the sultan's guard passes
through this staircase, for it is believed that the sultan has a more secure,
private means of entering his private chambers that even his closest associates
don't know about. The cold stone tile has a small layer of dust settled upon
it, indeed this staircase is hardly used at all. There are no windows, but
torches flare every ten feet, just as one disappears another lights the way.
Obvious exits: -Up    -Down 
A few drops of fresh blood are scattered around the area.

A Circular Stairwell
   Those who use these stairs are headed to the upper levels of the palace,
where most of the royalty sleeps in high regard. Unless so permitted by the
sultan, anyone entering this staircase would be subjected to endless amounts
of torturing, a slow and painful death for all to hear and take heed to.
Psychological warfare, indeed. However, mostly the sultan's guard passes
through this staircase, for it is believed that the sultan has a more secure,
private means of entering his private chambers that even his closest associates
don't know about. The cold stone tile has a small layer of dust settled upon
it, indeed this staircase is hardly used at all. There are no windows, but
torches flare every ten feet, just as one disappears another lights the way.
