At, the tall, square archway of the city gate, Tavolin ordered a halt and dismounted by a squat stone building just inside the walls.

The low arched tunnel opened out into the Fourth Deeping Hall, the hub of a network of mines and tunnels that delved north of the main chambers of Zhufbar, which branched out from the chamber through open square archways.

Through a square archway was a sitting room ten yards in width and fifteen in length, the long side containing three wide windows that opened on a view of the Lord-Protector's golden cream palace.

"Your quarters will be in the upper quadrant," Asulet went on as he resumed walking toward the square archway set in the middle of the back wall.
