Citadel Steps

The grand staircase leading to the Citadel entrance, possibly used for dramatic arrivals or public speeches.

The Citadel Steps begin as a ceremonial threshold in Iron Gold, serving as the grand approach to the Republic's seat of power. Over the course of the series, they transform from a symbol of political arrival into a stage for public reckoning, where speeches, protests, and executions unfold. Their evolution mirrors the Republic's own shift from fragile democracy to besieged fortress, with the Steps becoming both a rallying point and a battleground for the fate of the Rising.
