Before the Imperial Palace 
  Light from braziers and lampposts illuminate the square like it was midday. 
The roads from the south, east and west converge here to form a great square.
The gates of the Palace lie open to the north.  The square itself is made
from the same fused black stone that all of the Imperial roads seem to be 
constructed from.  However, here the smooth surface of the road has been 
deeply etched to show a huge Symbol of the Imperial Codex.  At each of the 
cardinal directions surrounding the Symbol you see smaller representations 
of the individual Sect Symbols.  Each of these details pass quickly, for 
your eye is almost immediately drawn to the black stone cross rising from 
the center of the great Symbol.

The Gates of the Palace 
  You stand between two huge open portcullis, one to the north and 
one to the south.  A ceiling lofts above you, held up by a series 
of stone arches.  The walls to the east and west are covered with 
black scorch marks and pocked from splattered acid.  The stone 
floor is cracked and broken from countless upheavals and eternally 
stained with the deep red of dried blood.  You can continue 
further into the Palace to the north, or leave to the south.

Four chairs, which would be named thrones in any other chamber,

the table.  The walls of the room are bare save The Words circling
the room just below the domed ceiling. Archways lead out of the room in

The Imperial Throne Room 
  You stand in a room designed to intimidate the greatest leaders in 
the Realm.  Four pillars rise to a domed ceiling.  Each pillar 
representing a Sect of the Empire.  The floor is a polished black 
marble with the words of the Imperial Law inscribed in gold so 
that they are forever present in the eyes of visiting dignitaries.  
At the center of room stands the Imperial Throne, equidistant from 
all of the pillars, showing equal support for each Sect but belonging 
to none.  A stairway leads back down to the fortress.

The Chamber of the Council of Four 
  A huge round table of black marble dominates this circular room.
Four chairs, which would be named thrones in any other chamber, 
are set at the four cardinal directions around the table.  The 
symbol of the Imperial Codex is embossed in gold on the center of 
the table.  The walls of the room are bare save The Words circling
the room just below the domed ceiling. Archways lead out of the room in 
all four directions, and stairs lead down and up.

of countless feet.  The walls to the east and west are decorated 
with a huge mural depicting great achievements of civilization, 
while huge letters spell out a message to all on the north wall.  
The hallway continues to the south while stone stairs spiral 
upwards to the next floor.  Engraved into the stone floors are
the words of Imperial Law, that which is known by all who wish
to succeed within the Empire.

The Meeting Chambers of the Bloodoathed 
  These chambers are lined with shelved books and great furnitures
that help to provide the comfort needed to those who have yet to
join the glory of the Empire.  The most lavish of settings, there
are large curtains and great novels regarding the past and present
ventures of this palace.  Large shelves and great maps adorn the
room, eye-candy for those who visit these halls, giving a sense of
security and pleasure to the lesser men and women of the lands.

The High Altar of the Great Temple 
  Here at the heart of the Great Temple, a wide circular dais mirrors the
sweeping curves of the dome of colored glass high above.  Large enough to
hold a hundred or so of the devoted around its perimeter, five coal pits form 
a glowing ring around the altar to the desert city's pantheon of deities, 
separating the blessed from the profane.  Large urns of smoked glass and
darkened iron serve as receptacles for donations to the Temple and the city's
unfortunate.  To the north and south a few steps lead down to the lowest
floor of the Temple.
