The Deep Hall of the Regents
Ceremonial Hall — Deep Roads, Undershell of Jupiter
The Deep Hall of the Regents is a solemn, ancient ceremonial hall within the Deep Roads of Jupiter’s Undershell, accessible through a magical stone door requiring ten chimes struck with different weapons. The hall serves as a monument to the Dwarven Kings who shaped Jupiter’s history, with each ruler preserved in stone effigy on a ceremonial pedestal.
The Statues
| Pedestal | Ruler | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | (Missing) | Pedestal empty — unknown ruler |
| 2nd | King Raynar the Unbroken | Holds a massive pickaxe; first to break the Uppershell |
| 3rd | Queen Orga the Deep-Seer | Has gems for eyes; first to map the labyrinth of Carapax’s organs |
| 4th | King Horn ‘Iron-Lung’ | Wears a heavy brass respirator; survived the first toxic marrow-vents |
| 5th | King Morgan the Builder | Holds a blueprint scroll; architect of the Dhrumway |
| 6th | King Borin the Silent | Mouth carved shut; reigned during a dark, forgotten era of the Undershell |
| 7th | King Dumaclath | (Missing) — Statue removed or destroyed |
The Souls of the Kings
Silas detected that the Souls of the Dwarven Kings linger within the hall. With Whimsical’s permission, he offered the Kings the chance to continue fighting for Jupiter’s future. Two accepted:
- Queen Orga the Deep-Seer
- King Morgan the Builder
Their Souls now reside within Silas as willing passengers, adding to his collection of Soul-vessels.
Milodius was disturbed by this act, though he did not intervene.
Mysteries
- The missing 1st pedestal suggests a ruler whose name or legacy has been deliberately erased from history.
- The removal of King Dumaclath’s statue — whether by Dumac himself or by loyal resistance fighters — is unexplained.
- The names etched on the temple shaft leading up to the Inverted Temple above are of fallen resistance fighters whose bodies were never recovered — a companion memorial to the hall’s official record.
