Imperial Selamlik (Dune)
The fictional Imperial Selamlik is the Imperial Audience throne room of His Majesty, the Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe. It was a massive, elongated hall in the radiant Baroque style. The gold-leafed walls to the east and west slope gently upward, the division forming a gentle set of the delicately detailed arches with triangular recesses. Inside one of the eastern recessed alcoves is the black desk of the Imperial Seneschal. Against the oval shaped, far north wall, atop a one and a half meter dais sits the imposing Golden Lion Throne. Housed under arched cowl, seven meters tall by six meters wide, the stone voussoirs that make up the arch just outward protectively sheltering the Throne within the vault. Two narrow, golden pillars support the cowl from either side of The Lion Throne. And behind the Throne, to the rear of the dais dozens of elegant, is a row of the golden columns lined up the North Wall. The ceiling, the culmination of the arches, is a rectangular vault filled with carvings of the finest detail. A soft golden light drifts downward, filling the Imperial Audience Chamber with a warm golden-pink hue. The floor is made out of bare, sheer black granite, polished to perfection, absorbing light and throwing only a subtle reflection. In the center of the floor, slightly to the right of the raised dais, is a blackened smudge upon the floor. The Imperial Noukker Honor Guards and the Sardaukar were lined up in the chamber at intervals.
