hehehe...
Anyways, you'll prolly end your celebacy the second any well-shaped female walks in the door. I never could uphold celebacy for more than a week.
Here's the description of the Palace I was referring to. Should you need any additional material, just gimme a caller. Have creature stats for the various mentioned Devils, a Prestige Class for the Guardians of the palace, stats for Vapula and soon Khumin the Cold as well.
Palace of the Furnace
“As I see you here before me, honoured representatives of Uthagauls, Gulgauls, Mithagauls, Thempogauls and Burkanauts, I know that our progress is inevitable. We are unstoppable because, our purpose is one that requires unstoppability. We are cruel, because our task demands cruelty. We are never going to die, because our mission is one that requires infinity”
Speech held on the steps of the Palace of the Furnace by Iron Marshal Getz.
The Palace of the Furnace is the centre of the Uthagaul Empire and the seat from which Lord Vapula and Iron Marshal Getz commands the Gauls in their pursuit for power. The Palace itself is a marvellous structure, unscarred by the heavy industry that surrounds it. Six, enormous bronze towers encircle the central building, the Hall of Mechanics. The six towers are connected by a massive, bronze wall through which there is only one entryway into the Palace compound. The Gate of Sanguine Dedication is constantly guarded by the elite Palace guard that ensure that no enemy will ever set foot in the Palace yard.
Magic wards protect the Palace from the taint of industry. Even though the Uthagauls have grown accustomed to the foul smell of oil and steel, the Palace is kept free from the thick smoke the covers the Uthagaul Empire.
The Hall of Mechanics is not the only building inside the Palace compound though. Several other fabled buildings make up the core of the Uthagaul realm. The Hall of Mechanics is where Lord Vapula greets his visitors. The gargantuan hall holds two thrones. The largest throne is made of pure silver and decorated with engravings depicting the many battles that the Uthagauls have fought. This throne is for Lord Vapula and only the Lord is allowed to rest therein. The second throne is made of crude steel and decorated with skulls and gears. This throne is for Iron Marshal Getz, the daily ruler of the Palace and the whole Uthagaul realm. The duties of Lord Vapula demands that he attends the Devil court in the Iron City of Dis. Throughout the entire Hall of Mechanics, one can see banners painted with the symbols of both Lord Vapula and Iron Marshal Getz. An enormous flagpole just above the door of the Hall of Mechanics bears just one banner. Normally, it bears the banner of the Iron Marshal Getz, an Iron Skull on a red background. Should Lord Vapula assume the throne for a period, it will bear his banner for the duration of his stay.
The Library of Mechanics is also located within the Palace compound. This grey, marble building holds the assimilated knowledge of the Uthagauls. It is considered the intellectual centre of the Uthagaul Empire and the place in which more fiendish contraptions have been spawned than any other place. The Library is also carefully guarded by the Muhk’Athac Sentinels, the guard of the Palace of the Furnace. More than nine thousand tomes fill the large, square building. The tomes are carefully studied and protected by the Thempogaul Librarians.
The Chambers of Dedication are the training grounds for the Overseers that are crucial to the Uthagaul society. Inside these subterranean chambers, cruel training methods produce the cold-hearted Overseers that provide the steam for the Uthagaul machine of war. As with all structures within the Palace compound, the Chambers of Dedication are zealously guarded.
The Shrine of Dissidents is a large glass tower located inside the Palace. In enchanted glass tubes, all Uthagaul dissidents and rebels are stored and displayed. Iron Marshal Getz personally gave the order to construct the Shrine of Dissidents, so that it would become obvious to all factions of the Uthagaul society that mutiny and rebellion is dealt with harshly. Amongst the Overseers, the Shrine of Dissidents is also called the Temple of Glory since most of the dissidents and rebels displayed therein were captured by their Overseer masters.
The last, major building inside the Palace is the Muhk’Athac Barracks. Here, the Palace guard is trained and housed. The guard is led by the mortal warrior Khumin the Cold, the only human allowed inside the Palace of the Furnace. Khumin the Cold has been granted immortality by his fiendish masters in return for his service to the Uthagaul Empire.
