The Hall of the Ambassadors

Within the great qalahurra of our palace, Target Character would raise a throne hall fit to receive the envoys of kings. Its cedar ceiling is to be carved with the seven heavens, thousands of pieces set above the throne so that any embassy might grasp the order beneath which it stands. A hall such as this speaks for Target Location more plainly than any letter, and at no small cost.

Its domed ceiling of cedar, assembled from thousands of interlocking pieces, represents the seven heavens of Islamic cosmology, with the throne set directly beneath the divine apex. It was a statement in wood and stucco that the emir ruled by the order of heaven itself.
