Within the walls of the Naggaramakam, another fortification 50 feet high surrounds the private grounds of the Shadow King. Above the inner wall, the tops of enormous agafari trees can be seen rising out of the king’s gardens. The palace is sculpted in the shape of the Shadow King’s head, and thousands of sculpted female forms, each carved to resemble one of his templar wives over the centuries, form columns that appear to be locks of his hair. Inside the palace are numerous comfortably appointed chambers and dark mazes filled with the fog of incense and the hypnotic chanting of templars reciting their devotions.
