Old Dono's Palace
Still home to the Darin Clan who lost the crown seven centuries ago, this palace is crammed into the oldest section of Wargun, it's back wall abutting the disreputable neighborhood known as Darin Peninsula. And while it may lack the splendor of a noble establishment in Eldoria or the vastness of a typical Zennonaize estate, the palace is still a striking site. Its five stories of granite blocks, interlaced with blue marble stripes hauled hundreds of leagues from the Rheuthengage Mountains nearly a century past are still the tallest structures in the city.
A tree line promenade from an intricately carved gate - facing the steppes and not the sea of course - leads one to the grand steps of the palace where visitors climb broad external steps to the third floor before being admitted, a brutal journey in the deep of winter or heart of summer. The Darin Clan and its staff, of course, use other, more convenient entrances on the first floor. In fact, one of the engineering marvels of the palace is that the palace itself and all of its outbuildings are connected by a tunnel system that only occasionally floods with sea water after heavy rains.
