Selamik



The Selamlik was an enormous hall that made even the large Noukker guards seem small, but a trick of the fancy architecture focused attention on the Imperial Golden Lion Throne sitting on a raised dais at the north end of the gigantic throne room, making it and its occupant, the Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe seem larger than life on Kaitain.

Fluted columns along the walls stretched up to the high, vaulted ceilings, which were colorfully decorated with frescoes of past battlefield victories. Between the columns hung the long, tapered battle standards of the personal commanders who had fought for the Imperial House Corrino in the Battle of Corrin (and afterward became the Dukes, Counts, and Barons).
