The grand hall of Aaren's golden palace felt like a fantasy dining room I'd never imagined.
The hall was spacious, with a high ceiling and thick, gilded wooden beams stretching like a giant's ribcage.
The hall's golden walls were decorated with flags bearing the arrow symbol, the crest of the Aurelius royal family.
The first few steps I took into the hall, I felt a warmth that immediately dissipated the chill that had enveloped me.
I then realized there was a large fireplace at the far end of the room.
The most striking thing as I entered the great hall were the rows of long wooden tables that could seat dozens, even hundreds, of guests for a banquet.
At the end of the rows of tables was a special dining table on a small stage reserved for the leaders.
