[Today's recipient of ackowledgement is Master Xisoned, of The Sages of the Unknown Shadow, who has allowed me to take a look at those darkety practices that earn them such funny nicknames...]
You see a vision in the silver mirror:
This room has been crafted to resemble, in every way, an octogram of immense proportions. This is, after all, the common room of the Sages of the Unknown Shadow -- the order of wizards who specialise in the more demonic side of magic. This area, for the most part, is completely blackened. The drapes that cover the walls and boast glowing octograms are a deep, blood red, while the carpet is a subtle black. Throne-like chairs are positioned in a circle around a very low obsidian table in the centre of the room. Multiple chains have been firmly attached to the table, as if in preparation for something not only evil, but very large.
A small octarine eye, hovering in the middle of the room, watches you.
There are three obvious exits: south, west and north.
look drapes: These drapes decorate the room elegantly. Each one covering a different wall, each one with a highly charged octogram glowing and flickering. The drapes are helping to hide a small chest shoved against one wall, and a bulletin board shoved against another wall.
l octograms: Though the room is shaped like an octogram, someone felt the need for even more protection. the drapes strewn around the room each have a highly charged octogram which glows brightly and illuminates the area. These octograms were created for a single purpose and very likely aren't any good for anything else. The strange illumination causes strange shadows to stalk around the room, carefully avoiding the table in the centre.
l carpet: The floor is covered in a plush black shag.
l chairs: These are more thrones than chairs. They have been placed around the willing table. They are in the perfect position for a little observation, discussion, or study group. Each one is wrought iron with a plush leather seat, and each one has an octogram welded into the back.
l table: This is a piece of the famous "tabula rasa", of which the rest can be found in Uberwald. It is, as the name suggests, completely clean and has no features, save the chains firmly attached. It seems as if this low altar was constructed to restrain a large beast, or dangerous subject, or perhaps it's now merely used for students to study on.
l chains: These don't seem to be as empty as first thought. They are all lifted off the altar and point toward the centre of the table, as if holding some invisible beast in place. Of course, if that were true, you'd have heard something by now, right? They have been constructed of smelted octiron and are double-linked for the extra secure feeling. Curious how they just hover in place...
l walls: The walls are covered in a dark crimson fabric. They drape along the walls dramatically.
l shadows: These strange shadows are created by the glowing octograms. They slowly stalk around the room, carefully avoiding the table in the centre of the room. They each come in different shape and size, but the one unifying trait is the uncommon thickness of each shadow and the unyielding detail of features. They are so thick and dark that one might find it easy to blend into one if he or she so wanted to attempt the unusual feat.
