Liliakinyosa

Liliakinyosa (the Purple-Gold Castle) is the walled palace and fortress at the center of Sendoshi where Emperor Yixing-Jiumin Jinsen lives with the Imperial Consorts of the Great Sacred Empire. It is divided into two halves.   The southern half of the palace, or "Outer Court," is where the imperial court meets and where the emperor conducts the administrative business of Senyon. The imperial princes also live in the Outer Court.   The northern half of the palace, also known as the "Inner Court," is where Empress Nehualu Hanna lives with the consorts, concubines, imperial princesses, ladies-in-waiting, and their maids and servants. The only males allowed in the Inner Court are the emperor and eunuch servants.   Liliakinyosa is an enormous rectangle, measuring 3280 feet (1000 meters) from north to south by 2625 feet (800 meters) from east to west. The Outer Court measures 1968 feet (600 meters) by 2625 feet (800 meters). The Inner Court measures 1312 feet (400 meters) by 2625 feet (800 meters). Within the palace are a large number of separate buildings that serve as residences for the emperor, the consorts, concubines, and ladies, maids and eunuchs, imperial guards, as well as kitchens, workshops, middens, meeting rooms, offices, and the imperial court.
