Town hall is a large square building surrounded by granite pillars and lined with marble. Inside, there is only a large square room. Against one wall are chairs where the public may sit to watch the doings in town hall. Against the opposite wall it a large bulliten board for those literate peoples. Against the wall furthest from the door is a colossal ornate fireplace. In the center of the room is the council table, where public meetings of Faethaven’s government take place.
There are many things to observe and do in the Town hall. One interested in politics might watch a meeting of the council. At a public council meeting, supplicants from all over the city come with civil complaints to put before the council. As the guard judges criminals, the council judges complaints. The bulletin board is commonly used for city news, or is a place where businessmen inquire after workers. Avid lobbyists sometimes stand on the stairs out front of the town hall to make speeches. Great announcements of the council, or on very rare and extreme cases public executions, are often held in the town square out front.
