Wide steps descend to a landing flanked by two alcoves.
Within each alcove, taking up the full thirty-foot height
of the ceiling, is a bronze statue of a warrior holding a
spear. A soft blue curtain of light flows between the two
alcoves. Dimly visible on the other side of the curtain are
more descending stairs.
