Imperial Palace

The former main garrison and now home to the Imperial family, the palace is the tallest building placed upon the highest point within the city.

c. 1209 GA
In the heart of the old city within its own layer of ancient walls is the location of the original fort upon which Boundbrook was founded ages ago by the first human settlers. It resembles nothing of its former self, having long since been built upon as the generations (and iterations of the empire) have passed, changed, and grown, however it still stands imposing over the rest of the city below. Banners and streamers flow opulently from soaring towers guarded by colossal statues of warriors and devas. Though not an official name, these statues are often referred to by the city residents as the Watchers. The chief of the Watchers is said to not be one of the statues itself, but instead the copper sculpture of a soaring eagle perched atop the main dome of the palace which, due to its location, can watch over the city in its entirety.

The Imperial Palace itself is surrounded by a moat of sorts deviated from the bay to the east through a channel referred to as Watcher's Boulevard. A common tourist attraction involves the sailing of small ships down the Boulevard, around the palace, and out through another channel connecting to the Zathri River just south of the Keep.

c. 1162 ZSC
Perhaps the piece of the city that has changed the least since the Second Empire, the Imperial Palace remains a glittering example of extravagant classic architecture.
