House of Nyx

The House of Nyx, also known more commonly and in colloquial speech as the Senate House, is a large government building located in the Sevician capital city of Morosea, in the Sunset Cliffs district on the eastern side of the city. Built almost 600 years ago, during the reign of Jesyn Prabitulia, it has served as the central governing building of the Senate of Sevicia, the Empire's ruling elite, ever since.
Senatorial meetings are hosted in the House of Nyx every day, and it remains one of the largest and most impressive buildings in all of Sevicia. Fashioned out of painted red brick, its exterior is immediately recognisable to those who see it. It contains an enormous circular main hall, with rows of seats for more than 360 senators and officials and a floor for speakers, and more than two dozen smaller meeting rooms and other areas, including a mess hall. Located on a rise, the steps up to the House number more than fifty, and have become a symbolic monument of Sevicia's opulence ever since their inception. In the short story The Coin Master's Daughter, Sarsia Engarden threatens to throw Silvio Ueristor down the Senate's steps while "wrapped in his bloody robe." 
Its named is derived from Mother Nyx, one of the five Old Gods, Sevicia's primary religion, and is not to be confused with other temples and places of worships which have taken the same name in the past.
