Wrought from the resources the depths of the Earth brought, the palace was exactly as Milton had described it. Marvellously and lovingly crafted from the labour of angels, it kept him in awe.
Rohinder was barely a speck of dust in the vastness of this great hall, and the gravity lended by the distance between Pandemonium and the centre of the Earth kept him plastered to the ground.
