[[The Staircase]], a spiral staircase starting near the front door and going upwards, is described. These stairs, built when the [[President of Zimbabwe|President]] of [[Zimbabwe]] complained about the lack of stairs and opened on “the first day of Spring”, pass through “an infinite number of portals, spanning the width and depth of the house”. The supports are in the shape of animal limbs, and each stone step represents a [[ley line]]. Every four steps is a doorway. The doors go up to the front door of [[the Attic]], but they also go beyond it — and at the very top, there is a golden gate surrounded by “dry ice tended to by the very highest of the [[goblin]]s”. It is closed, and a sign hanging from the padlock states: “''If you have made it here, then you only deserve to fall, for a life wasted is not a life lived in Good.''”. | [[The Staircase]], a spiral staircase starting near the front door and going upwards, is described.

Having followed the portals, [[Elshanor]] arrives in [[the Throne Room]], where fifty diverse thrones sit against three of the four stone walls. She immediately recognises the throne meant for her, a silver-set, royal-blue-velvet-padded one. As soon as she sits down, her throne becomes the head throne, and a [[man (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|man]] is sent through as a disembodied voice explains that he stole waters from the [[Fountain of Youth]] and calls on Elshanor to judge him. Two buttons, one white and one red, have appeared on the arm-rests. She looks and into his eyes chooses the red, for guilt. A portal opens beneath the man's feet and he plummets into [[Pandemonium]]. | |||
