It is the room that separates the dining room from the Glass Lounge. The room is circular with a large dripping pendulum of silver hanging above by a metal thread. Below it is a disc full of yes no maybe answer runes. There is a semi circle mosaic glass window up above that when the sun shines through it the beams hit the pendulum just right and the tip of the pendulum shines a light down upon the disc, so anyone using divination can get a quick answer either every dawn or dusk. There is an archway leading into the next large room. A secret doorway that goes up to the third levels and back down to the scullery in the kitchen is concealed behind a wall of stone that must be opened using a hidden lever. Small metal tables hold hour glasses filled with the sands of the Desert of Skulls, there are wood and metal world globes, and glass boxes with different types of sand in them on the floor, some of the sand appears to have spilled out of some of them and no one has swept it up yet. It is unknown what the sand is used for.
This room only serves the purpose of scrying and is located here because of the sun's positioning. It may be used by Lord Azzur or even his priests. The floor is all stone but networked in fancy designs and the walls are lined with stone beams making the room look like a twisting cylinder.

You leave the dining room finally and arrive in this peculiar room, above you is a hanging teardrop of silver and glass crystals and at your feet is some sort of circle of runes. You turn a large hourglass upside and watch the sands fall through into the chamber, it's an hour one, but there are various other sizes too that help tell the time. It's not quite the correct time of day to ask the pendulum a question and expect an immediate answer, you'd have to come back in a couple of hours. If you did want to ask the divination tool a question, what would it be? Through the arched doorway you spy an impressive room beyond and don't waste any more time in here.
