Entrance hall of the Palace of Shadows

The entrance hall was a large room on the ground floor of the Palace of Shadows.

Layout

The hall was located on the ground floor of the palace, close to the kitchen and Caucus Ante-Chamber. It was over one storey tall, and took up much of the space on the ground floor.

The arched windows were positioned high on the walls, with a vaulted stone ceiling above them. The floor was made of marble, and a large staircase to the upper floors was located in the hall.[1]

In one wall was the gigantic set of double doors at the front of the palace, with a smaller door for everyday use set into the western one.

Behind the scenes

Main article: Errors and inconsistencies in the Edge Chronicles

The entrance hall is stated to have a circle of windows[1], implying there were windows on all four walls. This would require the hall to cover the entire ground floor of the palace, having outward-facing windows all round. However, at least two other rooms (Caucus Ante-Chamber and kitchen) are known to be on the ground floor, meaning the windows could not form a full ring.
