However, a small tower with an observatory remains, looking out towards the Royal Palace and the Palace Church. The Banquet Hall is a large, rustic room on the second floor. Its rather dark, lighted by a row of narrow windows and a huge fireplace under a big sword. Its dominated by three long tables of dark and heavy wood. Each table is reserved for its guild, and each mage has his own place.
Apprentices sit at the far ends, closest to the drafty doors.
It is used as a meeting place, especially in matters pertaining to the chantry as a whole without deeper magickal meaning. The Ceremony Room is adjacent to the Banquet Hall, and is surrounded by smaller laboratories and storerooms kept by the Guild of Mercury. The walls and windows are all covered with heavy black drapes, damping sounds into soft murmurs and absorbing all light. The air is heavy, smelling of incense and candlewax. In the wooden floor, a simple but dominating pentagram has been laid in with great skill, although it is rather worn by now.
