Imperial Halls
Alterations
Another great shift occurred after the founding of the Royal Guild of Horologists which lead to the construction of , locomotive stations for rapid internal transport, stables and docks for nation-wide communication and supply exchange as well as greenhouses, laboratories and factories as a source of research and income.
An additional wing was added for the development and eventual housing of the Iron Rulers, including a vast amount of halls for cognitive machinery.
These halls now make up the largest part of the Imperial Halls.
Architecture
This decision was made to make traffic flow in a more controlled fashion and decrease the distance between various departments.
Various doors and crossings between the halls facilitate communication between departments.
With time, transport between dapartments became tedious and certain halls were repurposed as locomotive stations, allowing rapid transit between the facilities.
Since halls and grounds were added with time, the Halls are a most accurate representation of architectural development over the ages, containing prime examples of ancient Thighto-Trumpon and Regal to elegant Cludor and Scothic to modern Pothert, Dazian and Victorian architecture.
Though most of the Halls are made of masonry, with little wood left from the earliest structures, cast iron and glass have been on the rise since around 49 EE, due to the increased building speed and access to sunlight it provides.
History
After the Rovan occupation of Tightland ended, the Thighto-Trumpons are believed to have erected a wooden throne-hall here, but none of it remains to date due to the invasion of the Regals and the subsequent destruction of many Thighto-Trumpon buildings.
The oldest part of the Halls still remaining is the Palace Castle, erected some time around three centuries ago by the Regals.
It is an iconic Regal structure, containing many large, flat rectangles and round, decorated arches.
It is in this part of the Halls that the Chamber of Rebirth is located.
Later on, the Halls were expanded towards the north-west by the Cludor, and this trend has continued through many other architectural styles.
