Palace's Guidelines to new Council Members

How to find your way in the Council's palace and avoid all pitfalls

What

An ancient building that needs to be respected even if it has preservative magic!

Ex-palace of the Elantian emperors

Meeting place of the City Council

Neutral ground with wards preventing magic

Rooms above ground

As soon as you breach the gates to come into the plaza, you enter neutral ground. Do not litter!

Archives
Historical documents and foreign ressources. Books are funded by the Council's communal pot and cannot be taken from the building.

Dome meeting room
For the Council's meetings. Beautiful painted dome that also emits appeasing magic to help keep meeting peaceful and productive.

Diverse offices
Free to use after booking for private meetings, but they are not properly cleaned and maintained unless an archivist is paid to do so beforehand.

Statues
Old relics from the ancient Elantian empire. They represent admired emperors and generals and have little plates presenting them.

Rooms below ground

Ward rooms
To control the wards around the palace that forbid the use of most magic and alert everyone to the use of the rest. Free to visit and admire.

Room of Memories
Filled with a maze made of mirrors. Their reflections can show replays of important events from the old imperial days. Do not get lost into them.

Labs
Where the emperors did their terrible experiments. Located directly in the middle of the magic currents and so considered the hotspot of the city.

Servants' quarters
Can be booked to carry out experiments there, as they are safer than the old labs. Not properly maintained unless an archivist is paid to do it.

The old well in the lab is where the emperors' Draconic Constructs used to be imprisoned before the massacre. All lords and ladies have to visit it once to feel its ominous magic and be warned of what happens to those who reach beyond humans' limits...

Decorum during meetings

Do not shout

Do not litter

Do not insult people

Do not use magic

Do not draw weapons

Do not touch people

Be punctual

Be cooperative
