HP:159 EP:50> l This is a large, circular assembly room that the occupants of the Tower call the Proclamation Hall. The adamant floor slopes down to the center of the hall, allowing all in the room to see across the wide area. Large torches high on the walls provide enough light to see by, but the adamant walls do a poor job of reflecting the light. The result is somber, as if you were standing in a huge cavern that happens to have uniform dimensions. The room echoes, a result of its size and shape.
