This update focuses on the throne room, the first building built!

From the outside the throne room is fairly simple, being a round building with a domed roof. It is fairly detailed, especially around the base and roof. On two sides it has large windows, filled with elven steel bars. On the side facing the lake it has a door, and opposite that is the throne. The walls are made of elven brick, as usual, and the roof is made of blue clay tiles.

Inside it has a high domed ceiling, and ledges under the windows. Down the middle runs a path design in the floor, straight to the dais at the far end. On top of the dais, which is constructed with silver-trimmed elven brick (the walkway is edged with this as well), sits the throne. The throne is built of gold-trimmed elven brick, and above it hang banners of Lindon. The most strking feature of the throne room, however, is the two trees on either side of the walkway. These are Lairelossë from Lothlorien, and before that, Numenor. Around the base of the trees are Elanor and Niphredil, also from Lothlorien.

One of the two waterfalls on either side of the throne hides the entrance to a secret underground room, my strategy room. It contains a table of command, which shows a map of the surrounding area, horns of command in item frames, swords of command on racks, and a chest with the horns and sword I use. It also has a crafting table. The room is lit with elven torches with item frames, as is the usual method in the buildings of Ost-in-Brethil.
