 Moving towards this door in the southern wall you ponder what dangers might lay beyond it. Although it is small compared with most you have found in Stoneholme, the doorway has an aura of foreboding wrapped about it, a tangible feeling of mistrust and caution that emanates from its position in the wall as you approach. Such a feeling is almost familiar to you. It is the sense of someone holding an important secret but who must be careful of who they divulge it to.
In the immensity of the Great Hall your approach the door and shift uneasily on your feet when you realise that it is you who is under scrutiny. It is not however, a discovery that forces you to pause and make ready for battle. Instead you feel the subtle tendrils of something searching you out, measuring your intentions and trying to determine if you are friend or foe. There can be no doubt in your mind that there is a presence behind the door, watching as you approach and wondering if you should be allowed to enter. When you are no more than a dozen metres from its threshold the oak timbers of its substance change, the strong iron bandings and heavy iron handle melding into something altogether different. By the time you are ready to place a hand upon it the door stands as a puzzle, and one you must solve if you are to pass beyond it.
Now made of an unusual stone, it is highly polished and seemless, your hand sliding across its surface as if it is covered in a fine oil. It has no handles, just a solitary keyhole at its centre. Above this keyhole has been affixed a small brass plaque with a number in Haer'al inscribed upon it. The number reads as
:en'kaad'en:

If you have previously gained possesion of a key with this number engraved upon it turn to section 75. What this number is can be found by consulting the number list provided with the First Book of Haer'al. If you have no key, turn to section 195.
