Hall of Heroes
The Hall of Heroes is a large building in the centre of Altador that stands as a monument to the twelve heroes of the city.
The Statue Hall
The main part of the building, the hall itself, originally housed twelve considerably bigger than life size statues, one of each of the heroes, standing in a circle, facing inwards. Only eleven are left, as the statue of The Darkest Faerie was destroyed, however, in the course of the Altador Plot.
The statue of the Betrayer, The Darkest Faerie, was fitted with the power source for a spell that hid the history of Altador from its people. If any of the other statues have magic within them, it is yet to be revealed.
The Hall's domed roof opens thanks to a mechanism in the basement, which fills the statue hall with light during the day and allows the observatory to be used at night.
The Observatory
Above the statue hall is an observatory. Fitted with a telescope stand (but interestingly not its own telescope), the observatory makes use of the roof that opens to illuminate the hall bellow by providing the ability to look in detail at the stars.
The Council Chamber
The Council Chamber is the room in which the heroes of Altador hold council. There are twelve seats, one for each hero, placed in a semicircle.
