Council Hall

The hall is not a single room, but a series of chambers off a large central hallway. The hallway itself is three stories in hight with administrative offices on the north, with suites and small conference rooms in the converted bedrooms on the south. The eastern entrance chambers are lavishly decorated, but not as much as the Grand council chamber in the west. Below the main hall are kitchens, storehouses, and service passages. Above the main hallway there is a separate large ballroom used for formal galas, with storage rooms off to the side. Grand staircases sweep upward from the main hall into the ballroom.

Multiple stone types were imported for the various facades, several gold covered pillars adorn the council grand chamber. Thin gold and silver sheets are used in addition to powdered gem colors are used on the decorative reliefs throughout the palace. While reliefs are common in dwarven halls, these also include dozens of varieties of fabrics draped and adhered to the reliefs.
  While most dwarven architecture is often highly geometric, this palace has significant curving shapes in its sweeping circular chambers. In combination with fantastic glassworks and giant tapestries it rivals elvish cathedrals for it's airiness and brightness. The multicolored gem and glass magical lanterns are fantastic pieces of art in their own right, some have been plundered throughout the years and most have been replaced with simpler versions.
