Description

The Godmere Palace rises majestically at the peak of Harlon’s Hill, a gleaming testament to royal power and architectural grandeur. Built of the finest white stone with soaring towers and elegant spires, the palace dominates the skyline of the entire city. Its walls are thick and defensible, yet adorned with intricate carvings and stained glass windows that catch the light.

The palace serves as both the seat of government and the royal residence. Within its walls, the king holds court, councils debate matters of state, and the machinery of the kingdom’s administration operates. Royal guards in polished armor stand watch at every entrance, their presence a constant reminder of the authority concentrated here.
