Hall of Greandor
Greandor is the capital of the Principality of Ulfabel on the eastern side of the Krar continent. Trade routes, land and sea, converge on the city, which sprawls along a narrow band of land between the Straits of Isen and the Qintaba Lake. It is here that representatives are sent from all the cities in Krar to advocate for their trade. In the center of the city is a large building constructed of rose marble from the desert region, the Hall of Greandor. Here is where the leader of Greandor lives. In addition to being a residence, one wing of the building is set aside for business - like the Trader Tribunal offices and meeting rooms along with the municipal government.
Visitors from other continents stay in the building across the city, Hapful House, which is constructed of a black obsidion. The pink and black buildings are the only ones of their kind. While Hapful House is only a fraction of the size of Hall of Greandor , being as it is only a residence, it is opulently decorated as would befit high raking visitors.
The Hall of Greandor is a fairly recent construction, dating back only a hundred years or so. Previously, the regional and city governments all had their own, smaller buildings on the site where the Hall currently sits. These dated back to almost the founding of the city and were destroyed during The Pirate Wars.
The Hall was designed by Architect Frenon Csinalt who also was responsible for the Kraken Church that stands in the center of the city, its white spire rising above the surrounding city and easily recognizable by mariners.
The Hall of Greandor, despite its beauty and functionality, is despised by the citizens of the city It as costly to build and they view it as a garish eyesore. There have been numerous attempts to burn it down over the years.
