I like the interior of this castle. It seems both cool and chill at the same time. I like the indoors greenery, too.

This castle can only be reached by very fit people; those stairs look like an intense cardio exercise.

Ohhh big daddy time!
A patriarch is basically a big dad, prove me wrong.
Pater is latin for father, right?

@Straightbackward: patriarch is, basically, "dad boss".
Pater is indeed father in Latin, but also in Greek which is where it comes from. Arch in Greek is ruler, like a monarch is a single ruler, and an archbishop is a bishop-in-chief.
If you want to be precise, "patriarch" is not exactly father-ruler but nation-ruler, because it's built from patria instead of from pater, and patria is basically the same concept as "fatherland" more or less. Though it's more the people than the territory that "land" part of "fatherland" implies. We don't really have a word for "the people who belong to the same tribe as my father" but that's patria. Like pater, that word is basically the same in Greek and in Latin. It's just that if it came from Latin in this case we'd have a word like patrirex or something instead of patriarch.

Interesting design. Reminds me of Midori's hall in the Village of whispers (if the description was a bait, I bit).

Pablo in his element, with no one to foil him.
@Creeven - It might be a case of a temple "template", which I don't blame the author for.

@ Creeven: It could be the same hall. But I feel like the description wasn't a reference to that, but that it's older than Pablo and familiar to him from his Diplomacy Training.

It reminds me of that spirit temple that Held got traumatically lost in.
