Not even the floors creak at the top of the staircase, as not one sound manages to ring out in the oppressive silence. A single candle sits in an alcove on the eastern wall, dimly providing you with vision of this eery room. Other alcoves are seen on the walls, except that instead of containing candles, bear statuettes of the gods of Syndicate. The alcoves contain images of Rellion, Jeriath, Krazar, and Joja peering down at those present on the landing with suspicious eyes. As opposed to the filthy lower level, this landing is well kept, with no evidence of grime or disease anywhere. To the west is a huge, double door made from the finest ebony wood, bearing the emblem of the Syndicate gilded masterfully. A dangerous looking set of stairs lead back to the first floor.
