  You stumble into a room littered with various instruments and garb of
battle.  The far wall supports a large arsenal of axes, most stained still
with the blood of those who have fallen to the deft axe masters of the clan.
On your left you see racks of swords, the blades covered in strange markings
and a number notched with battle scars from the days of the clan wars. 
Spears line up neatly on the right wall, tips skillfully sharpened and and
polished as if for presentation.  A huge silver axe lying on an altar laden
with soft satin in the middle of the room must be the infamous weapon of
Duren, presumably the founder and first spiritual leader of Northstar.  You
look closely at the axe and see the words 'Mortum Ante Dedecum', the words
the clan lives by to this day.  Around the rest of the room a bewildering
variety of breastplates, shields, helms, cloaks, leggings, and armbands lie
discarded, some on the floor and even more in the room's strange container. 
Some glow white and others glow a dangerous red, while others seem
surprisingly inconspicuous.  Here members grimly gather resolution along
with equipment and move on, ready to fight in the name of Northstar!
