The Staircase was a spiral staircase starting near the front door and going upwards. 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”, passed through “an infinite number of portals, spanning the width and depth of the house”. The supports were in the shape of animal limbs, and each stone step represented a [[ley line]]. Every four steps was a doorway. The doors went up to the front door of [[the Attic]], but they also went beyond it — and at the very top, there was a golden gate surrounded by “dry ice tended to by the very highest of the [[goblin]]s”. It was kept permanently closed, and a sign hanging from the padlock stated: “''If you have made it here, then you only deserve to fall, for a life wasted is not a life lived in Good.''”.

==== The Throne Room ==== | |||
The Throne Room contained fifty thrones, all of them different. Whenever someone sat in their bespoke throne, it would take the place of the head throne, and the occupant would be called upon to judge some accused criminal. Their arm rest had a white button to let them go and a red button to open a trap-door beneath them that transported them to [[Pandemonium]].
