The Great Ridhan (building)

Previous: Hanouet & Hanouin's Gatehouses

For most of its six hundred years of existence, the Great Ridhan convened in this spacious chamber; the tall rotunda of twenty-two windows that houses it built in the Neo-Ojycznyz style of the Thirty Golden Summers. The massive oaken roundtable that sits at its center was commissioned by King Coseun of the Mountain and Reach as a token of goodwill to his new subjects, and it was here that some of the more dramatic events of the region's political history happened. After the Ridhan's dissolution in the 10th century, the room would be put under lock by imperial decree — though the castle's rulers would reportedly sometimes discreetly reuse it for more personal purposes.
