The large cave is covered along the walls with bright torches.  A large hole has been carved in the ceiling of the cave, right above the ladder that descends into the underground cave.  On good bright days, sunlight directly surround the hole with the gold ornate ladder descending into the underground part of the cave.  On the walls of the cave the torches illuminate many ornate drawings and paintings mainly dealing with the history of Kings of the realm.

I am a miner who works in a dangerous mine. I do not enjoy being dirty. I make sure to get paid fairly for anything I trade.
