Order Rooms: the Last Order

Well, as you might guess, this bit of scrying required extra help, as almost all of the members of the Last Order only appear to me in a haze of smoke and mirrors... Therefore, special thanks to Master Benfrey the Obscure, who allowed me to peek into the most discreet and secretive of Orders...

This darkened room is the lounging area of the infamous Last Order. Silently, a few candle flames circle the room and cast a weary shadow among the various objects. Along the walls, multicoloured drapes swoop and plumet, much like the water of a calm ocean. This room hasn't been created for the morbid-minded as much as it has for those who like to keep private. In the centre of the room is a large rectangular table around which sit multiple black leather chairs. Against one of the walls, a large bulletin board stands next to a small chest.
A small octarine eye, hovering in the middle of the room, watches you.
There are three obvious exits: west, southwest and south.

l table: This is a rectangle-shaped table constructed of petrified cherry wood. It's all so executive looking! The top has been polished to a crystal-like gleam and the edges have been rounded off. The feet come down into a swooping claw that grasps a solid rose-quartz ball.

l chairs: These chairs are large and plush. The black leather strains at the seams, yet shines with the subtle luster. These oversized chairs sit properly at the table in a manner that nearly screams "board room"!

l walls: The walls are covered by multicoloured drapes made from velvet. They have been quilted so elegantly that the colours collide in a harlequinesque motif.

l floor: The floor is covered in a plush grey shag.

l candle flames: These are what seem to be the tips of burning wicks. Which, of course, should be on candles. But they're not. Instead a mere flame hovers gently and circles the room, causing shadows to dance around slowly and eerily.

l shadows: These are created by the light of the flames and nothing else.

l circle (of fire): This is a circle of flame. Curiously, the vortex around which all the flames seem to be orbiting, shimmers ever so lightly, as if there's a strange air distortion there or a gap leading to l-space.
