The Seeing Room is the oldest building in the Sprubly Islands of planet Smoo, lying adjacent to Queen Pwip's palace and predating even the Gluptik architecture. It is a small circular building with a wide stained-glass dome on top and a little round door in front. Though large by Sprublian standards, it is barely large enough for a normal humanoid child, being about six feet in diameter and four feet in height.

The room smells of incense and has for as long as anyone can remember despite the fact that no one ever sprays it with anything. In the middle of the room a round stone basin holds a pool of water. As a seer stares into this water, eventually its surface will begin "dripping" as if there were a leak in the roof, although there is none, and these drips are then interpreted to answer questions about the future. The entire aura of the place is very peaceful and calming except for when visitors get freaked out by the dripping or the fact that someone claims to see things in it.
