[This is our starting room.]
The Foyer is a room. "A barren room. There is an exit to the north."
[We create a thing called a candle, give it the property of lit (meaning it is giving off light), and locate it in the Foyer.]
A burning candle is in the Foyer. It is lit. The description is "The candle is burning and should provide enought light to see in the dark."
[The Kitchen is a dark room.]
The Kitchen is north of the Foyer. The Kitchen is dark. "It seems like a normal kitchen now that there is some light in here."
