Description summary:
The description varies based on your level of 
Maintaining the Distance.
| Maintaining | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Ice and white stone and purple shadows, as far as the eye can see. Where are you? |
| 1 | You will arrive here without ceremony, [...] in defiance of all of the usual laws. Time has always been strange in Irem, but when you arrive, so too will space. [...] the gaze of the Seven-Serpent will not rise to meet you. Your presence here will not be expected. |
| 2 | A tower that is a well (or a well that is a tower). You are at the top, or the bottom, marooned on an outcropping [...] Far below, or above [...] is an altar, ripe with hungers.
The water throbs in resonance with your deepest fears. You should not be here. |
| 3 | Gold and red and metal-on-metal, spinning and spinning and spinning, casting a shifting dance of concentric shadows [...] A vast and furious machine grinds out its terrible work just beyond these shadows. Even the shadows its casts here are captivating. |
