The Mourning Throne

Slender braziers half enclosing each of the twelve basalt columns light up every part of the throne hall and engulf everything in a flickering radiance. The gems of the many artworks on the arched ceiling dance in the flickering light while statuettes look down upon the grey wood floor of this luxurious hall.   A crimson rug runs from the throne down through the center and splits into two paths leading out while pennant banners with burnished lacery hang from the walls. Between each banner sits a small alter full of candles, almost all of them have been lit and in turn illuminate the murals of heroes and leaders below them. Vast, colored glass windows are neighbored by draperies colored the same crimson as the banners. The curtains have been adorned with emblazoned edges and decorated tips.   A noble throne of granite sits beneath two overlooking statues of legendary beasts and is adjoined by two large, but far less ornate seats for the royal highness' trustees. The throne is covered in nothing but labyrinthine carvings and fixed on each of the ornate legs is an ornate face. The light pillows are a dark crimson and these too have been adorned with emblazoned tassels.   Those awaiting to be heard by their royal highness can do so on the countless luxurious and comfortable oak benches, all of which are facing the throne in a wide V-shape. Those of higher standing can instead take seat in the more ornate balconies overlooking the throne.
