Architecture
Palais Castaire was built in the style of Castaire Supreme, which is characterized by an overwhelming amount of decorative elements. This style also shows an excessive usage of quartz blocks, which was an extremely rare material in the empire, because all the imperial workers had to get it from the dangerous hellworld, were Izeril, the dead angel, rules. The stone masons then garnished the raw blocks and chiseled them into the white pillars used everywhere in the palace. |
