== Trivia ==
*If you enter the [[Den]] located in the room, and then proceed to exit it, any portals you made inside it will vanish with no apparent reason and the wall that serves as entrance/exit will close, denying any later attempt to enter it.
*The [[Den|Den's]] scrawlings are a reference to The Tragedie of Macbeth by William Shakespare. The scrawlings say, "The bell invites. Hear the turret for it is knell. That summons ### to heaven or to hell." In Act 2, Scene 1 of Macbeth, Macbeth says "I go and it is done; the bell invites me. / Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell / That summons thee to heaven or to hell."
