Whitehawk & Areanna are Wed

Ceremonial Room [Exits: east]
Glittering gold inlay, black obsidian floors, and large amounts of precious gems make this room one the richest in all the realms. What makes it even more impressive is the room is massive, easily large enough to hold all the heroes of the world and have room to spare for many more. This room is for all the special moments in a hero's life, such as honor given by an immortal, marriage, reception of a major quest prize, or even a really special party.
