The private chamber of Sir Eldmain Aeryn. The fiefholder carries out most business in the great hall and only very private issues are pondered here. He plans a lot and acts as if an architect of a new "Jara", although he will never admit it - not even to himself. This has caused a slight misconception of the state his fief is in, a misconception his brother Lesly fosters. Eldmain does not police his fief as often as he should. Sir Eldmain is always fair, even friendly with his people and his anger when aroused by the "Trehaen people" quickly subsides. His eagerness to be friends with everybody has blinded him to the fact that others may take advantage of this fact.

Lord Aeryn shares this room with his squire Joselyn (14). Joselyn has moved a lot around the manor, as Sir Eldmain couldn't find a spot just right for his social status. Presently he resides here. Joselyn isn't very good at arms but gives his best. He will meet the standards to be knighted but will never win a tournament. On the other hand, he is smarter than average and his father is the lord of Orp, a fief, which is a half a days travel to Leriel. Joselyn's father thinks his second eldest son should rule a fief (and Joselyn would be capable of that) and is also in negotitations with the prince - something Sir Eldmain doesn't know. Joselyn suspects his father's scheming and isn't very happy about his situation.
