Boy, for a first novel this is one heck of a ride.
For starters, I've had to do a lot for this story. Even though it lies into the fantasy genre, I want the non-fantasy elements to be as realistic as possible.
That includes the logistics of underground rooms.
I've had a lot of trouble with this, I want the room to be big, and yet not so big as to put strain on the columns. Afterall, the room is underground, so I don't have much to work with as it is. Also, I want the number of columns to be a certain number, thusly that limits me even more.
To illistrate what this room, I've taken a couple of snapshots of a 3-d model. Everything is to scale, but that is it.

The measurements between columns is 26 feet, and the columns themselves are 4 feet. The columns are placed in a 9x14 configuration. 9x14=126, with 126 being the recurring number. Altogether the measurements come out to 296x446.
Of course, the realism may be off, but it's a start....
Currently, this story has 24 completed chapters in it. However, as I do not want to clog the boards, I've only posted 3 so far.
