Klingon Great Hall Ceremonial Decorations

A collection of heavy, ritual-oriented set dressings lining the ante room and Great Hall: braided banners, carved trophies, and austere ornamental fixtures that evoke Klingon martial aesthetics. Crafted from dark metals, worn leathers, and weathered fabrics, the decorations run along walls and columns at human-head height, framing processional routes and catching torchlight. Characters move around them without touching; the ornaments swallow sound and lend the chamber a formal, intimidating presence that amplifies the gravity of Worf's challenge.
