Cepheus sat atop a crystalline throne, easily recognizable from the painting of the naked ladies from his entryway. The evening light shining behind him struck the gem-like chair, bending the light and scattering fragments across the dark stone floor. Every surface in the chamber was rich fabric, precisely carved stone. Furniture of precious metals lined the room, inlaid with precious gems, ornate on the near-exhibitionist level as the entryway. Every aspect of the villa was an extravagant display of wealth, a reminder to the power that the King held.
