Palatia
Palatia is one of the three mountain fortress cities of Kastill, along with Academopolis and Magobrium. Palatia is home to the Royal Palace of Orcli, and is ruled by King Kruvh. It is located between the other two citadels, and is known for its waterfall which flows from its base, known as the King's Cascade.
Palatia's white stone walls and palace structures are adorned with gold and emerald stained glass windows, gem inlays, paintings, and ornamentations. The structure is massive yet somewhat simple, consisting of walls with a few buildings, more characterized by their impressive size and beautiful archways, mosaics, and patterns than fancy spires, spindles, and buttresses which are characteristic of elvish architecture, found in Hevedberg and its towers.
Palatia is accessed by the Fallsport, a transportation system powered by elves and their transmutation and hydromancy, transporting their passengers up and down the King's Cascade through magic.
