The corridor has assumed the dimensions of a coffin. […]
[…]
Before you is a chair, hardly worth the name of throne. Whatever sat there must have been little bigger than a child.
Behind that chair, the wall is silvered. Your reflection's lamp gleams.Description summary:
Somehow, the place has carvings about the promises that you have made. It is unclear whether this is real or a hallucination. Additional text reflects choices from 
Ambition: Bag a Legend!.
 Steadfast | Passage about your promises |
|---|---|
| 0 - 2 | The masonry is inscribed with your own promises, though very faintly. You have not put great store in your word. |
| 3 | |
| 4 - 6 | The masonry is inscribed with promises you have made, commitments and undertakings of various sorts. The letters do not go deep. |
| 7 - 8 | |
| 9 | The masonry is inscribed deeply with promises you have made. |
| 10 - 12 | The blocks are written with the words of promises you have made, commitments offered and arrangements undertaken. There are many, always steadfastly honoured. |
| 13 - 14 | The blocks are deeply carved with the words of promises you have made, commitments offered and arrangements undertaken. |
| 15 | The blocks are profoundly carved with the words of promises you have made; your character is too steadfast to allow anything less. |
 Swore an Oath to Mr Wines | Statement about oath |
|---|---|
| 1 - You have sworn an oath. You did not mean it 2 - You have sworn an oath. You meant it to apply to the Vake | Here is the oath you swore to Mr Wines, when you were looking for the Vake. It is on a very small block, no larger than half a brick. Perhaps that means Mr Wines has forgotten it. |
| 3 - You have sworn an oath. You accepted the consequences | Here is a block, quite a large one, written with the promise that you made to Mr Wines, when you were hunting the Vake. A promise to kill a friend, if the time came when that person did not live up to their ideals. |
| 10 - You have honoured an oath to Mr Wines | Some blocks are missing: perhaps those are the ones you have already fulfilled? |
