The scene is actually taken from the book "The dragon Reborn" and the
floor is described as made of grey stones, worn down slightly over the
centuries. The sword is described as hanging hilt down in mid air.

I'll look into neatening up the floor (at the moment it is a height-field
with
an image map for texture (the same picture is used for both))

Thanks for the comments
