Egorian is very quiet, this high up above the ground. It looks like a busy city, an ordinary city, from up here. If it's any busier than before, if it's a city at war, Carissa Sevar hasn't seen it in a different state to be compared.
The chairs here are comfortable, silken, decorated in Asmodean motifs. Abrogail Thrune must entertain at least some people here, about her private quarters, before whom she feels obliged to keep up appearances; there were no such needless flourishes in Abrogail's workshop when Carissa Sevar was briefly resident there.
Visible to the permanent Detect Magic that is about Carissa, there's a permanent wall of force that shields this balcony, one of a very few spells that laughs at antimagic fields. If Carissa Sevar hasn't seen one of those before, the magic beneath it is worth staring at for a while.
