Beyond what you have already seen in this room, there is not anything obvious further to discover.
When Jair sends Caspar to investigate through the doors, it reports that there do indeed appear to be creatures beyond each of the doors (to the west and to the south), but cannot give any meaningful explanation of what the creatures may be like.

Doodle opens the double doors.
A silvery glow filters through a fine mist in this chamber. A silvery metal rune pulsates with an iridescent light in the chamber’s southeast alcove.
To the south stands an impressive crystalline fountain, which sprays a jet of water high into the air. A crack in the fountain’s base releases a steady stream of water across the gray stone floor.
In an alcove to the southwest is a statue of a man in robes, his face contorted in a surprised sneer.
Directly across from the open doors, on a platform up a few stairs, hovers a creature (Blue). Chunks of rock spin about its humanoid form, which seems to be comprised of vibrant green light.

”Eww. What is it now? Tonkk, you better get up here.“
She shakes her head as she sees the strange spinning creature.
If she has time (if it is not immediately hostile) she will give herself a touch of glory and try to communicate.
Um, hello. Who are you and what is your role in this place? We are seekers of ancient lore and knowledge.
The ozimat looks puzzled at your words, as if it does not understand Common, and then it speaks to you in a calm and methodical manner with a voice like gravel under a boot.
If none of you understand Terran, it speaks in Jistkan.

Electra will join the room and starts to talk with Ozimat.
Bowing deeply she replies.
"Honored Lord, please apologize for our intrusion. We really did not mean harm. I am not really good with words, but I will translate for those of us who are gifted with them."
To the others she adds in common.
"He is rather angry that we attacked the door wardens. Could someone take over talking!"

Lasaraleen will cast comprehend languages if she cannot understand its response.
Good, now I can understand him but I cannot speak his language, only Ignan. How about I give you a boost.
We are very sorry to disturb your home. We are in search of knowledge and the door guardians seem to be hostile immediately. What of the undead? Were they also guardians or intruders? We mean to make things right!
Electra translates for Lasaraleen but the Ozimat does not appear to be very happy at her words.
"Make things right? You destroyed the door guardians as if they were mere objects to you! You seem to be invaders to me."

"If you have seen what happened, you should have seen that I begged the others to safe them. They were magnificent works, something I had only read before, of a unmatched quality today. The golemworks in Absolom would feel honored to learn from a master such as you!
I deeply apologice, but we can only try to make amends. And support you in your next creation. Is there any way we can prove our deepest regrets and sorry, any task we can do to regain your favor?"
The Ozimat seems a bit calmed by Electra's words and replies, "I am Korj. I am a spirit of elemental earth that once inhabited a construct vessel, as my siblings still do."
With the words of the others, Korj seems somewhat calmed.
"The elementalists of Jistka brought us here in shackles to power their works while we suffered in endless servitude. But they were hungry with power and made a mistake by activating the elemental gauge when the doors to Deep Sky were sealed. The reverberating energy allowed us to take control of our own fates long enough to rise up against our captors. I have been here since, working to liberate my siblings."
"Indeed, we were slaves! Our masters not only bound elemental spirits, but enslaved genies as well. One made of fire was forced to use its ability to grant wishes to bring this complex into existence. A genie of each element was then tasked to create other objects and structures within Deep Sky."
"I am not exactly sure how I became free, or how I survived shedding my physical form, but I believe it has to do with the elemental energies brought about by the storm over the Jaizun Citadel. I can only guess that the energy diverted from the storm weakened my magical prison. The activation of the focused energy within the elemental gauge helped me finally break free. Ever since that fateful day, I have worked to help my siblings to free their own spirits, but without the energy bound within the elemental gauge, I cannot save them."
"The elemental gauge is a powerful device that the masters used to monitor the storm over Jaizun Citadel, to see when it would be safe to return. It did this by keeping a fraction of the storm’s power within it. I cannot reactivate the elemental gauge to release this bound energy, but if the energy were released, I could use it to free my siblings from their physical husks."
"If you will release the energy from the gauge I will be most grateful. Will you assist me?"
"Why, it's just in that room, there," Korj says, pointing towards the other door that you have not yet opened. "It is guarded by Illaton. He helped to create Deep Sky and the elemental gauge. We were once friends. But no longer. He slipped into madness and I into my solitude."
"What can I tell you beyond what I have already said: he is mad, quite mad. The long centuries of confinement have not been kind to him."

From the doorway of the next room, you smell the rich scent of palm wine, pipe smoke, and cinnamon fills this chamber. An enormous clockwork device with a spherical base, dials, and metal gears takes up the southeast corner of the room.
A large creature stands within the room and squints curiously at you when you open the door. It resembles a towering human with skin of polished stone and glittering agate eyes. It is almost eleven feet tall.
He stares at you all in disbelief and squints, before speaking in Terran.
