The mithril vault existed beneath the palace's administrative sector in a space that should not have been accessible to anyone without explicit authorization from Queen Morvana herself.
The walls were polished to a mirror finish, so they seemed to create their own light, reflecting torchlight back and forth in patterns that cast disorienting shadows.
The surfaces were deep blue. The architectural design was meticulously crafted to serve a singular objective: to guarantee absolute confidentiality from any individual aligned with King Maelor.
Wards layered upon wards created an acoustic isolation that meant conversations conducted here would never reach beyond these walls, no matter how loud the voices became.
The very stone itself seemed to absorb sound. Mithril was a valuable resource; the wards helped, but the material had magic reflection capabilities.
Temperature control was maintained through similar principles.
