After navigating the corridors in the basement, the player will reach a magical wall of ice. In order to disable the wall and pass through, the player must be holding the scroll on which is written an [[Ice Bypass Spell]], obtained from the quest [[Into the Kur Tower]] (note that this is only required one time per character). Heading up the stairs, the player emerges to a seemingly-impossible space featuring a seemingly temperate climate, dilapidated ruins, a massive bell, and a large stone complex that seems to hover in the air. This is the [[Necromancer's Courtyard]].
