Here we have a drinking hall not unlike how one would imagine Herot in the epic verses of Beowulf. Great timbers carved with fabulous grotesques support the golden walls and brace the high a-frame ceiling. A series of large fire trenches run the length of center, to a slightly raised platform that might serve as a stage for skalds or perhaps a high-seat for kings. Along either side short moveable benches just long enough for a drunk or two to pass out on are pushed against the walls.

R
Oh to be removed from this daily drudgery
This dull, dim, dream
And be back in the arms of my loverly
My opulent lady of love and light
Removed from the grinding wheel of time
The song in my heart is a mournful dirge
Until she again plays the strings
And takes up that joyful verse
An ancient refrain that begets spring
And brings heaven to this hell on earth
