Generate a description of a foreboding scene in a basement with pillars, a door, and guards.

Gently glowing pillars support the vaulted ceilings, illuminating the basement's nooks and corners. Between the lack of furnishings and the softly shining light, the guards stationed at either end of the room seem almost superfluous, yet from the alert way they eye all who enter, they evidently take their duties seriously. A series of narrow steps lead back to the main floor of the Communal Center, while a heavy oak door and a short passage lead to other areas of the basement.
