The palace was built centuries ago by the first Brarisi Empress,
Nerantzia Straka , and served as the home for her descendants until her great-grandson was overthrown by Emperor,
Olegs Runcis, who took his throne lived in the palace with
his family. Olegs made many renovations to the palace, including extending and adding height to the throne room. As with many construction projects throughout this era, both were done with slave labor. Unfortunately, few records remain from the time of either significant construction project. As such, how many people died in accidents or from horrid conditions of the work camps is unknown. A hundred years later, the then Empress
Mina Thanoufreed all of the palace slaves when Braris, under social and trade pressure from the other nations, publicly declared slavery outlawed. Despite this, she turned a blind eye to the nobles who continued the trade that had made their families wealthy.
In 794BRC, the palace, along with most of the capital
Carthago Nova, was razed to the ground by
Lorenzo Rossi during and after his siege of the empire that had forced him into slavery as a child. On top of the palace's ruins now stands the outlaw city of
Sanctuary Lorenzo founded, and much of what was once palace gardens have been turned into farmland.
Fantastic visual descriptions, this sounds like it was an incredibly grand place! Fab layout too with the linked articles in the side.
Thank you! I'm always a little worried the linked articles don't provide enough of a visual aid to break up the monotony of text.
