Queen Maeve's Summer Palace
Queen Maeve's Summer Palace, a resplendent testament to the beauty and grandeur of Esmerth, stands as a jewel amidst the lush gardens and sparkling waters that surround it. Though the queen herself may be absent during the summer months, her presence is felt in every corner of the palace, from its magnificent architecture to its stunning works of art.
The structure itself is a marvel of artistic ingenuity, its elegant spires and graceful arches blending seamlessly with the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. Gardens filled with vibrant flowers and towering trees sprawl out in all directions, their colors and scents filling the air with a heady fragrance that intoxicates the senses.
Within the palace walls, treasures from across the Core are proudly displayed, each one a testament to the queen's love of art and culture. Paintings and sculptures line the halls, while exquisite furniture from distant lands adds a touch of luxury to every room.
But it is within the throne room that the true splendor of Queen Maeve's Summer Palace is revealed. Here, amidst the soft sound of cascading water and the gentle rustle of leaves, the queen's golden throne sits atop a dais, surrounded by a moat filled with aquatic life and delicate lily pads.
Behind the throne, an underground waterfall tumbles down in a shimmering cascade, its crystalline waters reflecting the warm light of the sun above. An enormous cherry blossom tree wraps around her golden throne, raining down petals of rainbow color endlessly, casting a soft glow over the chamber and bathing it in a warm, ethereal light.
