Beyond the Dragon Portal the entrance tunnel opens out into a wide ampitheatre, a bowl shaped crater at the height of dragon mount that has been carved into thirteen terraces. The black bassalt ledges are all twelve feet high and a wide staircase runs from the tunnel exit down to the floor. The stairway is illuminated by stone lanterns filled with soft blue fire, the real illumination for the twelve pillars comes from the star field of Andromeda, Lady Fate's refuge and home blazing brilliant in the sky above the mountain seen clearly only here at the centre of all.

+

At the base of the staircase, 144 feet below the tunnel, 200 feet below the crater rim the view visitors have of the world is reduced to two things. The blazing stars over-head and the columned walk that leads from the stairs toward the throne of Bahamut. There are twelve pillars, six either side and atop each one is a beautiful coloured carving of a dragon, each one different, majestic in their own way towering over the realm, looking down at those who pass between them.  They are the forms of Bahumat, many and varied and eternally different, the few reports we have from mortals who visited this place all speak of different statues atop the pillars.

+

There are no more challenges here, no more tests of will or mettle, to have come this far is to have proven yourself now all that remains is to pass between the pillars and pay your respects before the throne of the King himself. Bahamut waits, regal and imposing atop a tall column of rock, carved at its pinnacle into a plateau flanked by mighty wings of stone, a throne to put all thrones to shame. Bahamut is here, upon the throne of creation, beneath the ever guiding light of his closest advisor and confident the lady Andromeda. Show respect, speak not until granted leave and listen to the words of the King of Kings, the spirit whose will and thought brought creation into being.

+

Here, in this place the culmination of dreams can be met, the king's quests and rewards handed out and his favour given, hark and worship unto him, he who is all that is and all that should be. You are in the presence of the dragon, at the heart of all creation, the focal point around which existance turns.

 |A sheet of black marble polished to a mirrored sheen, beneath the surface of the marble dragons fly, magnificent creatures of legend swooping through alien and unknown skies. Different dragons fly in and out of sight at all times, majestic despite their size, each one unique in colour, no dragon is ever seen more then once but they all have wise, knowledgeable eyes that see further and deeper then any other looking out of the marble, judging, weighing, waiting.
