Old Marrakech

This was the throne room of the king, long ago. On one side of him sat the head of state, who saw to the details of running the kingdom. On the other side sat the executioner. Both strove to please their king.

The room above was for persons of stature who were visiting. It was located deep within the larger building so that it was neither hot nor cold, depending on the season.
