Fight with honour, Shrike!

< Here is a small sample of Warshrike fighting techniques. >

You see imposing black granite gates blocking your way from where you just came. This must be a guardroom for the Stone Giants. Peaking through a crack in this part of the room, you can see the bridge where you battled through the guards to stand at another stone gate! From here, you can also get a very good view of the path linking Silverlinning to Cloud Bottom. This must be the place from which the giants spy on the path to observe the movements of people passing through the gorge.
There is one obvious exit: northwest.
