Default Re: 'Imperial Culture' (non-canonista)

The Chamber of Emperors in the Imperial Palace is unique in that it is designed completely according to ancient techniques, some of whom were once extinct and had to be painstakingly studied by historians and revived. It is a three sided room forming a right triangle. The floor contains a mosaic with a stylized map of the worlds of the Imperium. The walls are of gold inlaid tiling decorated according to complex patterns. On each wall portraits of the Emperors of the Three Imperiums are hung, the Third along the hypotenuse, and the first two imperiums on the other walls. Each portrait has written below it a summary of the history of his reign.
