The display room is larger than you expected it to be. In fact, it's less like a display room and more like a small museum. And all of the exhibits are dedicated to the Fortesias and all of their accomplishments. The the lighting in the room itself are all still lit. The Fortesias probably want to make sure that their guests have plenty of time to bask in their greatness. That or maybe they keep it lit at all times, just in case any of them get the desire for any night time self-worship.

As you walk among the various displays, you're actually a little impressed. The Fortesias may love showing off, but no one can really say they do a bad job of it. The portraits on the back wall all seem to be arranged chronologically. From Madame Cassandra Fortesia and her children, all the way back to Lord Azarkan and Lady Elyssa. That's right, you'd completely forgotten! Despite the Fortesias' lack of magical apptitude, hate of Mer, and heavy ties to Colovian culture, the Fortesia family was originally founded by Reachmen and members of the Great House Telvanni that left Morrowind during the Interregnum. Apparently, Azarkan was given title and status by the ruler of Skingrad at the time under mysterious circumstances, thus founding the Fortesia family. Eventually, the Dunmer and Reachman blood was lost after almost a millenia of mixing with the Imperial dominated West Weald. Now, the Fortesias take pride in their Imperial bloodline, although they still remember their roots it seems.

Aside from the portraits, there are several various items and artifacts on display as well. A suit of armor, some expensive looking gems and crystals, a few pieces of priceless art, and other various things that would look more at home in an art vault than on display in a house.

There is no one else here, not even a guard. You have the whole room to yourself.
