Standing Before the Fortress of Light 
   The Fortress of Light rises before you, standing strong and proud in a
 mantle of snow and ice.  The thick walls of this fortress are built of huge,
 perfectly cut, white stones fitted tightly together.  The stones along the
 base of the fortress are enormous, taller than any giant and more massive
 than most houses.  Pennants flying above the watchtowers rustle and flap
 defiantly in the chill winds.  The huge gate of polished silver is guarded
 by a lone figure.
