Six-Fingers' Silver Palace consisted of sixty-six ivory towers and a hundred mirrored halls. Visitors could see three images of themselves in the mirrors at any moment. The palace felt bitterly cold, with regions capable of freezing the soul scattered haphazardly throughout it. Without a guide, even outsiders who managed to enter the Silver Palace would lose their way amid its endless corridors, passages, and mirrors, eventually becoming Graz'zt's slaves forever.
Those familiar with the Silver Palace knew it contained many passages to other planes, whether to other layers of the Abyss, paths to the Asura Battlefield and Phlegethos, or Pandemonium, which was used specifically to imprison terrifying beings. Six-Fingers often traveled through these portals to other worlds, unleashing his evil to his heart's content and advancing his grand plans.
The Silver Palace existed simultaneously on the forty-fifth, forty-sixth, and forty-seventh layers of the Abyss. Just as Graz'zt had united three planes into a single domain, his Silver Palace occupied all three layers at once. Six-Fingers' palace could be reached from any of them, but few mortals knew how to enter-and even those who did would have no desire to go inside, since very few guests who entered the Silver Palace ever came out.
As for why Aaron's party had to enter the Silver Palace from the forty-sixth layer, it was because their ogre guide, Xinlan, knew only that route.

"I invoke the Law of Azzagrat for my protection! No guard or servant of His Highness Six-Fingers may attack a merchant holding proof of trading rights!" Aaron shouted
