The Zavinian Palace

The seat of the queen and the Council, this immense palace sits in the very centre of the city of Zavinia. It is home to the warrior training grounds, the ruling family, and many of the most important nobles make their residence there. Made of pure crystal pulled from the earth below the city, it stands tall and proud above everything else in Taliesin.

Purpose / Function

To serve as the home of the queen and the seat of the Council, and to house nobles and important guests while they stay in the city. Training ground for the warriors and the barracks for guards in the city.

Alterations

Dungeons were dug into the bedrock to house prisoners, and the library was expanded several times as the collection expanded.

Architecture

Made of pure crystal, thick enough to make the walls opaque. High arched ceilings, tall towers, and long hallways.

History

Pulled from the ground during the Raising of the cities, the palace grew in importance over the years as the Council expanded, and the Inter-Namer Council began to take shape. It was taken over by the Enemy during the War of the Enemy, and was the main battleground during the Battle of Zavinia. Many other battles were fought outside the city or on the walls in other years, while the palace served as headquarters for the army during that time.
