once to examine a particularly excellent work of art as you ascend. Every
now and again, a ghostly servant passes you, on some mission of its own,
its passing drawing the warmth from your body. Yet you feel no fear.

room, or of going through a door to the east marked "Waiting Room".
However, if you wish to proceed without an appointment, you'll need to get
past the large sentry guarding the door...

You have entered a well-stocked library, staffed by more of the ghostly 
servants you saw earlier, and populated by several scholars and mages. It 
is in this spacious library that prospective pupils of the Guildmaster await
his call. It looks like you may be in for quite a wait, unless you're 
feeling impatient...

You have entered a magnificent room, a hemispherical chamber inhabited by
the guildmaster. The roof of this place is constructed entirely of some sort
of tinted magical glass which allows the sun to shine in, bathing the well-
furnished room in bright light. You are amazed by the sheer number of ancient
and rare magical tomes here, and you wait in awe to see what the Guildmaster
is willing to teach you. You have proved yourself worthy by taking the 
initiative and besting his champion rather than waiting, and he is pleased.

In this simple chamber, a small Kender trains the many students who come

in helping himself to a fair portion of your treasure without your noticing.
You have proved yourself worthy by taking the initiative and besting his 
champion rather than waiting, and he is pleased.

The Base of the Tree~
You are standing at the base of a towrering oak tree, ancient beyond reckoning.
At the top awaits the Dryad Guildmaster, but access is blocked by a 
magical gate, to key to which is borne by the sentry. So you may wait 
your turn with the other Dryads, or jump the line and attempt to take 
the key from this sentry, and enter immediately. Perhaps it may seem nicer 
to wait, but it should be remembered that some Dryads have had to wait 
hundreds of years for a practice sesson with the Guildmistress...

You have entered a magical area at the top of the ancient oak which protects
its occupant from the elements. However, it has been cunningly designed to
give occupants the illusion that they are living INSIDE a tree... It sure
looks real. Are you SURE its an illusion? Anyway, your mistress awaits. You 
have proved yourself worthy by taking the initiative and besting her champion 
rather than waiting, and she is pleased.

tremendous amount of psionic energy from the atmosphere due to some strange
composition of its walls, and thus has quickly become one of the Seven Holy
Places, the home of a High Guildmaster.

The Guildmaster's Chamber~
Squeezing past hundreds of urns, amulets, scrolls, braziers, bookshelves and
bunsen burners, you come face to face with the most powerful Illithid in
Anon. Your Guildmaster turns to face you and telepathically asks what you
what you wish to learn. You have proved yourself worthy by taking the 
initiative and besting his champion rather than waiting, and he is pleased.

Outside Fort RockBreak~

Dwarves who milennia ago dedicated themselves to the advancement of the
knowledge of their fellow Dwarves. It has since become one of the Seven
Holy Places, and within you will find your Guildmaster.

Inside the Fort~
You tread slowly across dressed stone floors into a corridor lined with war
banners, axes, hammers and shields. All of them look as though they have
seen a LOT of action.

In this room gather the Dwarves from all parts of the world who have reached

The Guildhall~
The greatest living Dwarven Guildmaster in all of Anon resides here, quietly
practicing his skills at metalwork and masonry, though he will more than
gladly pause in this rather mediocre work to teach you how to more effectively
bash the skulls of your enemies. You have proved yourself worthy by taking
the initiative and besting his champion rather than waiting, and he is pleased.

Guard Room~
The Guildmaster's Sentry resides here, where he spends his time arranging
flowers or weaving baskets. You see, the years have softened his mind, but
not his fists...
