Goldenthrone
This palace serves as the meeting place for the Merchant Princes of Port Nyanzaru and is recognised as the seat of the city's loose government, It was built decades ago by an Amnian trader and is one of the most opulent structures in the city, rivaled only by the grander temples and the Merchant Princes villas. An honour guard formed of eight Chultan Gladiators are on duty as a visual display of security, and more of the city's militia patrol the palace grounds, deterring loiterers and thieves.
Goldenthrone is the best place to meet any of the Merchant Princes without an appointment. They rarely meet with visitors who arrive unannounced at their homes. During the day, a few of the Princes may be present, escorted by a retinue of their guards and aides, and citizens may expect to wait a few hours before being granted an audience. The princes in actuality have little to do with the day-today running of Port Nyanzaru, so unless a meeting is being held to discuss city business, the delay is more a tactic to underscore their importance.
