You learn a thick mist covers the floor, and that light can’t get through it. However, you can temporarily blow the mist away with your hands, this reveals that the floor is made of the same “metallic” material as the bridge you crossed moments ago. Slit-like apertures in the ground are the source of the mist; it seems some sort of liquid flows beneath, it gives a faint red glow.

Tracking the sound is easy, it takes you to the center of the room, where you find a sinkhole. Its perimeter is adorned with skulls that have markings resembling an ancient language (the equivalent of Sumerian markings, to give you an idea). The skulls pertain to different (sentient) species: Humanoids, Kaleesh, Devaronian, etc. Roots seem to come out from several skulls; everything is made of the same material. The sinkhole hosts spiral stairs that go deep down. Walking down the stairs, you get a closer look at the walls, they look like those of a catacomb ("adorned" with skulls). The mist gets thinner as you go down, while the red glow increases to the point you can see. The walls and the skulls are partially covered with “roots” (this is reminiscent of certain buildings in the Khmer temple, IRL).

At the bottom of the sinkhole, in the middle of the chamber, you find a girl working in a blacksmith’s forge. Her face is familiar, it’s the girl you met in the club, but her hair is silvery/white. She's in good form. She’s striking a red-hot sword, each blow lighting the room up with sparkles of "iron" that fly away.

By the time you reach the bottom, she's finished sharpening the sword. The stairs end right before her, she's facing you, she speaks:

"SO THAT THEY CAN JUDGE THEIR OWN ACTS OBJECTIVELY.
OF WAKING UP THE SLEEPING CONSCIENCES, IT'S TIME.
"

OOC: Behold! For you are in the presence of Master Closure.
I tear my spirit free, prejudice against the innocent.
