Northern Palace

The Northern Palace is a palace on Mt. Selene built during the 4th century. Under the Kingdom of Ethrogia, the palace is home to the Selenian royal family, the Twelve Knights of Ethrogia, and their servants. Under the Republic of Ethrogia, it is the meeting place of the Senate.

Layout
The palace has five stories and several tall towers surrounded by a courtyard walled in gold and marble with a gem-lined alabaster gate. The West and East wings jut forward from the main body of the palace. The palace faces south across the city.

Traditionally, the monarch and his or her family reside in the upper floors of the West or East Wing, but Queen Iacho Jemeisele lives instead in one of the towers. The West Wing is occupied by her firstborn son Iubitar Avaddon and his servants until Iubitar moves to Falen. The East Wing is occupied by her second son Peleor Hyptraon and his wife Lailia Sanwruott from 711 until Peleor's death.

North Wing
The North Wing includes the throne room, the ballroom, and the dining hall.

The dining hall is decorated with pillars and contains a single long table. As it is unable to accommodate all of the palace's residents, several smaller tables are available in the kitchens for the use of servants, although servants are permitted to freely dine in the hall, as well.

East Wing
The upper floors of the East Wing are green-walled. The master bedroom has a skylight and is decorated with colorful embroidered rugs.

Servants quarters and stables are located in the lower floors of the East Wing.
