Great Hall

The Great Hall, informally called the throne room, is a location within the Winter Keep, previously the seat of the ruler of the Kingdom of Aqoris. The Bear Throne stands at the end of the Great Hall. Within the Great Hall, the king or his Adviser holds court, receives petitioners, and oversees official ceremonies. Each new monarch was crowned officially once a crown was placed on their head, and they were seated upon the Bear Throne.

The Great Hall consists of a large, cavernous room. Its entrance is made up of two huge bronze and wood doors. The Iron Throne sits on the opposite side, atop a raised dais climbed up to by two sets of wide steps of rough black stone; small chairs may be placed when the King or the Hand is accompanied by members of the High Council. The floor is made of different types of dark blue marble. Overhead is the towering vaulted ceiling, with massive arches and columns. On the right side of the Hall stands a raised gallery that connects to other areas of the Winter Keep. To the left side of the Hall, four windows with stained-glass depictions of the first four great Boyce Kings (Barden I, Joros I, Joros II, and Digby I) allow light to enter. Rylar I, despite being the third King, was decided to be removed during the reign of King Byrron I Boyce as he thought King Digby I was much more deserving of the honour.
