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.

  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.

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.

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.
