The formal dining room, nestled deep within the stone caverns behind the ancient fortress, had gone through several significant changes since the last time Ollie came here.
When he first visited, the room felt gloomy and dark. There had been a single chandelier hanging over a simple cedar table that offered up enough seating for Lady Nyrielle's progeny and a few other guests, but no more than that.

The simple cedar table at the center of the dining room had been replaced by a large, elaborately carved oak table, the center of which resembled a map of the Vale of Mists come to life.
