Location from Hades by Supergiant Games
The personal estate of Lord Hades at the deepest point of the Underworld — administrative center, family home, and the place Zagreus is always coming back to whether he wants to or not.
The House smells of torch-smoke and old stone and the faint sweetness of river water. It is always occupied — by shades in procession, by staff at their stations, by residents with their particular habits and their particular griefs. There is no privacy here, only degrees of discretion. It functions as both the seat of Underworld governance and a household, and neither function quite wins. Hades runs his realm from his administrative throne. Achilles guards the west wing. Dusa cleans everything. Orpheus used to play music and now doesn't. Cerberus claims the best spots on the floor. The rule against violence within the House is real — Megaera cannot harm Zagreus inside it, which is the only place she can't. The Lounge is where people unwind, when it isn't destroyed. The weight of the place is structural: it was built to last, and so was the silence.
A lavishly appointed palace designed by Daedalus, with grand halls, administrative chambers, and a lounge that has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times. Torchlight on dark stone. The Pool of Styx at the center of the foyer where Zagreus reconstitutes after every death. Shades mill through the corridors in endless procession. The architecture is the kind of grand that implies permanence and power.
