Stairways to nowhere are not so a rare thing. There were even a few at the Circle in Markham, where additions or repairs had resulted in walled off passageways, and somewhere out in the wide wondrous world of Thedas there are surely some that exist for less mundane reasons, with magical flower crowns waiting at the bottom.

These, however, are stairs to nothing. There's nothing magical about it, but even if it's only age or conflict that damaged this tower, there is something a little unnerving about coming down around the corner of a curving staircase and finding empty air, cold wind, and a steep drop down a mountainside.

Remus puts an arm out to stop Peter ahead of the crumblier last steps.

"Maker," he says. Unnerved, as previously stated. It lasts half a second, and then he's dropping his arm and putting a hand on the wall for balance so he can try to see around the corner without going any further down the steps. They used to lead somewhere, surely.
