Keeill

The keeill is located beneath the chambers used by the Camberian Council. It was originally constructed by an ancient Deryni brotherhood, the Airsid, Roughly dressed ashlar pillars, twelve of them, stood flush against the perimeter, with enough space between for a person to stand. The single bronze door in the Northern quarter opened between two of them, Four bronze cressets held torches which gave light to the four quarters. The ceiling was somewhat more finely finished, having geometric vaulting of a blue-grey stone that glittered slightly in the torchlight.
"A dais of grey-black slate occupied most of the center of the room, the first of its seven shallow steps starting only an armspan from the heavy mass of the pillars. Precisely in the center of the dais was a square of stark white marble, an armspan on each edge and a hand's-breadth thick." [Camber the Heretic, pb-243-244].
The Camberian Council performs their powerful, complex rituals there.
