Deïtab Palace

Residency of the Council of Sebe

Once the home of the proud and noble Danatelian monarchs, the Deïtab Palace is the seat of power of the Council of Sebe is located in the city of Nares. It was built under the rule of Queen Margeshed the First, in the early years of her reign. Construction began in 119 CE, 5 years before Queen Margeshed managed to establish peace and full control of the Danatelian lands.

It was abandonned in 244 CE by King Remawt, whose poor leadership resulted in numerous uprisings against him in the city of Nares and brought him to flee to his home city of Meniwk. For almost a century, the Deïtab Palace stood empty and forgotten, until the creation of the Council of Sebe in 328 CE and the beginning of the Age of the Seven Cities. Since then, the palace has served as the main government building for the Danatelian Federacy, where the elected representatives of each of the regions meet to exchange and discuss what the nation ought to do.

Layout and Architecture

The Deïtab Palace is built in old district of Nares, situated atop a hill. Following its repurposing as the offices of the Council of Sebe, many of the rooms once meant to house people were reconverted into various offices, lounges and assembly gardens.

In the early years of the Danatelian Kingdoms, assassination attempts, spying and other forms of disruption were quite common. As such most buildings of importance which were built in these days hide many secret passages, hidden nooks and ancient secrets. Knowledge of such a passage is often the most valuable asset of anyone working within the palace.

Garden of Speech

The members of the Council of Sebe meet in the largest of the interior gardens to discuss any issue which concerns them all. Laws, petitions, tea parties, all that a region must share with its siblings is to be brought to the garden.
