Gratic City Imperial Army Headquarters

"Underneath the towers of The Grand Castle, the stone building that houses the glorious men of The Imperial Army seems small but orderly, a stout building of square corners and simple construction. Inside, the inner workings of the Empire's great military are decided and great conquests are planned. The General of the Imperial Army and his various officers, as well as a small army of soldiers at all times, live in this structure."
~ The City of Cities

Purpose / Function

This building houses the tacticians, officers, and a large section of the force of the Imperial Army. Here, the wars of the future are planned, the wars of the present are ordered and organized, and the wars of the past are preserved in the Army's large library of records.

Alterations

The building has grown in size in recent years as the number of soldiers in the Empire has increased and the wars of attrition have gotten more intense.

Architecture

The building is not incredibly tall and it is stout. Made of local stone, it has only three main levels and the dungeon. The main floor is offices and quarters for the General, his officers, and tacticians, as well as the Army records office. The level below that contains the various criminals and ne'erdowells that are awaiting execution, trial, or shipment to prisons. Above the main level, the training areas and the quarters for the hundreds of guards who live in the city can be found.
