To the left of Lord Hades is the House Contractor and, after his sentence has been paid off by Prince Zagreus, the court musician Orpheus. Beside him rests Cerberus, who lounges languidly in the Great Hall when he is not called to block the Exit Door of the Temple of Styx from Zagreus.

I understand this place existed in a form even before the Master settled here. Certainly, the House is well-enough appointed, and accommodates not just the Master, but some of his close associates and aides, myself included. The Master spares no kind words for his family's mountain abode, and notes instead the many ways in which his House is far more functional, superior even. the House of Hades, I imagine, must be more or less the opposite on every front.

Sometimes characters will already be having conversations when Zagreus returns - if this is the case then he can only eavesdrop, and cannot give either character Nectar or Ambrosia. Lord Hades may not appear after a run that reaches his fight. Megaera will only be present in the House after an escape attempt in which she was killed the same is true of Thanatos, once he returns to the underworld. Many characters can be found and spoken with here, although not all may be present at any given time. Shades are often seen milling about complaining about their lives and deaths, or forming part of the procession Hades tends to as part of his duties. The floor plan of the House was designed by Daedalus. It is the personal estate of Lord Hades, who resides here with his family and staff. The House of Hades is located in the deepest depths of the underworld.
