Tall and airy, cool and damp, enchanted and bizarre,the Chamber of the Awful Stair was one of Middle-earth's most wondrous gifts.The Chamber rose to a height of over two hundred and fifty feet.Its stalactite-covered ceiling was a symphony of form. Many-hued veils and draperies of stone flew downward, as if frozen at the climax of some enchanted ballet.Pockets of crystals reflected the torchlight from colored nooks, like treasuries bound within living rock.Flowstone and stalagmites marched across the uneven floor.A great waterfall issued out of the southern wall, spawning the stream that swept through the Chamber.

The true wonders of the cavern were the dozens of natural, hexagonal basalt columns that reached up from the floor and, in some cases, pierced the vaulted ceiling.Stacked slabs formed from fast-cooling lava, they were the largest of their kind in western Endor.Daen Coentis Priestesses had found the Chamber sometime in the early Second Age.Ascribing a holiness to the place, they made it a natural cathedral, where they conducted ceremonies full of chants and songs.Stairways were cut in and around the columns, and platforms for singers were placed at points suited to the room's wild acoustical qualities.Each column was capped with such astage , permitting a chorus of over a hundred to join in joyous harmony.Poetic inscriptions marked the base of the columns in order to guide the singers, for without directions the Chamber was a maze of myriad shapes.Confusion is the guardian of the Chamber of the Awful Stair.
