The landing is almost obnoxiously opulent. It has an expansive marble floor and walls, and the giant staircases on either side have marble steps and railings made of the rarest wood. Purple silk, dyed in the king's personal color is draped across the railings and hangs from the walls. The silk drapings frame oil paintings of the king and his family, and of the king's accomplishments at war as a youth. The artist has signed each one, and is extremely famous. A magnificent gold and crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling with hundreds of small candles burning in it. All other fixtures in the room are also bright gold.
