[Top of the World, Aenatumgana]
Whirling snow is tinted silvery grey by the low arctic moonlight. Then, a lull in the wind offers a breathtaking vision! Mantled by the storm's flurry, a monument perches on the mountain's top, immense in size and of extraordinary beauty. You also see a seeker.
Obvious paths: northeast.

[Script]>touch crown
You reach out to touch the crown. As your fingertips trace the outlines of the drakes worked into its surface, it flares blindingly and a tremendous surge of energy flows into you. Your body tenses momentarily with the unusual sensation, even though it is not painful.
Letting your hand fall from the crown, you are left feeling drained as the energy that had invaded you ebbs away.
'aenatumgana
[Script]>You say "aenatumgana."
A deep grinding sound rumbles through the howl of the winds. Slowly, the stone door begins to rise, drawing upwards into the top of its frame. Inch by inch it crawls, steadily rising to reveal darkness beyond. Within a short time, it has withdrawn completely, leaving an open doorway beckoning you into the mountain.
You notice the aura surrounding the bas-relief crown flicker out.

Damn seekers! I must have been killed on my way to the rift more times than in the rift, by not paying attention and getting killed by avalanches, seekers when unspelled, etc..
