You live in 3200 B.C. Greece, in a stone building. This stone building is repeated all around, mirror images. You see, you live in the most advanced city on earth, and every building looks alike. The city is called Vox. Vox has conquered all the surrounding regions, and is the most powerful force on the continent. You work as Chief Assistant to the High Councillor. You answer only to him. You are a tall, strong, forbidding man, with cold eyes. You were red robes, with a long gold hood hanging down over your face, blocking others from seeing your face.

Each are holding a long wooden spear, topped with a gold head. You walk towards the biggest of these guards, one who is wearing a dull, bronze helmet.

The building is rectangular shaped, with no walls, but lots of vertical columns placed strategically in diagonal rows so that no one from the outside can see inside. You walk between these columns, drawing nearer to the center, where the prisoner will be interrogated and questioned, and then judged. You are the judger.
You enter the small circular ring. You sit down at your stone desk. On it is the Convicted's case (viewable here: link:), and two manuscripts of the building's layout (viewable here: link:http://editthis.info/choose_your_own_adventure/File:Room_of_Consequence.jpg and here link:).
