  Everything in this room draws towards balance.  The room is perfectly
 spherical and symmetrically balanced.  The floor is one solid curve of
 polished platinum shaped like a curving teardrop next to an oppositely
 curled teardrop of shining glass.  In the heart of each drop is a
 perfectly formed sphere of the opposing material.  Along the north
 side of the room stairs of half platinum and half glass lead downwards,
 and the glass walls give way to the south to a warm glow of magic.
 Above you the cylinder of the room is sealed with an uninterrupted
 sheet of clear glass.  Tiny sparks of magic resembling stars line the
 ceiling and provide a beautiful, warm glow throughout the room.

civilized <611hp 414m 1054mv 14756tnl (23.15%) 11 PM> A Hall of Glass and Platinum 
  Beneath your feet, the floor comprised of glass and platinum blocks has a
 bit of sand scattered over it, clearly tracked in from the southern sandy
 oasis.  The rich scent of lotus blossoms and desert flowers is in the air,
 along with something more powerful, less easily unidentified.  It brings
 to mind a memory of sulfur after a lightning bolt hits the ground, of
 crashing waves scorched earth.  It smells foreign, like something from
 another plane.  It is not unpleasant, merely difficult to place.  The
 glass and platinum hallway stretches to a glowing room to the north or
 to the sandy oasis to the south.  East and west the hallway stretches
 on.
  
[Exits: north east south west]

civilized <611hp 414m 1053mv 14756tnl (23.15%) 11 PM> A Sandy Oasis 
  Nestled between glass walls to the east and west is what seems to be a
 sandy oasis.  Sands made of finely ground glass and platinum are set up
 in carefully combed and raked tiny dunes.  In the center of the room is
 a beautiful oasis.  It seems almost a fountain of sorts; streams of water
 burst up from the center to sprinkle the pool.  Several water lotuses in
 bright pinks, purples and blues float along the surface.  Growing in the
 sands are dessert lotuses in teal, brilliant orange, and fiery yellow.
 Overhead the glass ceiling has been planted with a few draping cactus.
 Through the glass walls to the east and west you can see the tip of the
 core of the Veil, and to the north stretches a shining glass and
 platinum hallway.  Above you, the glass ceiling has wide openings to
 allow fresh air to freely heat the sands below.  The oasis itself seems
 to stem from beneath the island, though it is difficult to say where its
 exact source is, since it sits atop such a disruptive force.
  
[Exits: north south]
     A perfect blue pool of water sparkles in the middle of the oasis.
     Several chunks of uncut gemstones lie scattered in an aesthetic pattern.
     A brilliantly colored lotus blossoms in the sand.

  Beams of moonlight shine down through the folded back, open glass
 ceiling above to illuminate a beautiful sand and rock garden.  The rocks
 themselves seem to actually be large chunks of irregularly shaped platinum,
 each one artfully placed, stacked or scattered to achieve a beautifully
 tended area.  The sands themselves have been perfectly raked and combed
 to swirling designs and spirals.  Illuminated by the moonlight, the sands
 seem to be made of finely ground platinum and glass.  A few green bushes
 and bonsai trees have been pruned and tamed here, and you spot several
 lotus flowers scattered throughout.  The entire area is very peaceful and
 quiet, creating a calming, neutral affect meant to appeal to the senses
 and give those in need a place to meditate and concentrate on the nature
 of balance.  There seems to be no floor here, though further into this
 structure you can see what appear to be glass and platinum tiles set upon
 this solid island of magic and sand.

The Base of the Nexus Island 
  The beautiful glass and platinum structure of the Nexus headquarters rises
 up before you, gleaming in the sunlight.  It seems to be a low-roofed building
 made completely of glass with platinum supports, stays and accents.  The
 island it rests on seems to be completely made of a finely ground sand made
 up of ground glass and platinum.  The roof of the haven to the north reaches
 and apex at the center, and you can see rainbows of prismatic light reflected
 from its glass slopes.  The structure seems placed to contain the roiling
 forces of magic beneath.  Below you the pillar of the Veil writhes
 and changes, ebbs and flows with the tides of power.  Beneath your feet
 the sand shows recent foot prints.  An invisible barrier holds the island
 together, keeping it floating high in the air above the Sea of Despair.
 The grains of sand sparkle in the light and the scent of an exotic desert
 flower reaches your nose.  Small rocks are scattered throughout the sand
 of different colors reminiscent of uncut gemstones.  The air around you
 feels electrified, currents of magic attempting to close in on you from
 the pillar below.  Something about the nature of this island, however,
 seems to contain the raw elements below, keeping them balanced and in check.
