Sanctre of the Burning Log

The Sanctre of the Burning Log is the banquest hall of High Palace.

Description
Three tables sit side by side, the middle considerably longer than the outer two. The tables themselves are made from ashen wood from the forests of Crianta, and reach as long as the trees are tall. On either side of the hall, further abreast of the longtables, is a great firepit set into recessed alcoves in the wall. Above hang three chandeliers, and these are lit with caelicen heartbranches, which give flame not just of yellow and orange, but of blue, green, silver and purple. fourty chairs line each side of the longest table, twenty-five each side of the shorter ones, and at each head of the longest table are the two grandest thrones in the palace after the Villibius Throne.

The guests enter the hall from balconies at each end of the room, beyond which are waiting rooms which descend to the tables on wide stone staircases. The staircases fork as they descend, for beneath each is a tunnel that leads from the hall to the kitchens and prepriatory chambers.
