Room of the Heart
The traveler had returned to Cendriane. His sojourn in Astrazalian had shown him the wonders of a prosperous and beautiful eladrin city. He was determined that, once Cendriane had been rebuilt, she would be even more magnificent than the City of Starlight.
On his return to Cendriane, the traveler hurried to the room he believed to be the Room of the Heart. The room was situated at the top of the highest tower in the city. This room was the only one which he had been unable to enter, even with all his formidable magic, when he had first searched the city. As he approached the door, the staff in his hand began to glow even more brightly than before. Slowly, the large double doors in front of him creaked open.
The traveler stepped into the room. Even though no one had entered in centuries, the room looked like it had just been made. He stepped to the window and looked up at the moon. The traveler realized that he was in luck, for tomorrow was the new moon. He walked away from the window and rested.
The next day, at sundown, the traveler started the ritual. As he started to chant the words of the ritual, the door locked. He was oblivious to this, caught up as he was in the ritual's magic. At midnight of that day, and of each succeeding day, the top of the tower flashed three times with a light as bright as the sun, turning night into day. At noon of each following day, he pounded the floor three times with the Staff of the Heart, the sound of which reverberated throughout the city of Cendriane and the surrounding countryside.
