Vytu Palace
Vytu Palace (commonly called Elfhome) is a large complex of buildings on the Beldoah waterfront owned and occupied exclusively by the legation from Naru. This is the primary embassy of Naru to Imesse, and it is arguably the most guarded area of the entire Barony of Beldoah. Within its high walls 189 Elves live full-time. The Palace was built specifically for this legation about 70 years earlier at great expense and entirely paid for by the Autarch of Naru.
Purpose / Function
A sprawling complex of residences, apartments and shops built for a legation of Elves from Naru.
Denizens
There are 189 Elves living and working full time in the Palace. They are very nearly entirely self sufficient and employ only local hands to deliver goods and staples to the Palace. All staff and servants are Elves and all are highly trained in multiple areas of expertise. The Chief Cook, for example, is also a highly trained and much respected healer with centuries of experience in medicinal and magical forms of healing. The head groundskeeper is a world famous sword master that has fought alongside the Autarch himself on numerous occassions. The matron of the Palace staff is a seer with the ability to magically communicate with other seers across vast distances nearly instantaneously.
There are 107 male Elves and 82 female Elves living and working within the Palace. The legation is led by the Princeps Besolyn'a Rone who is a 756-year-old Elf lord.
Architecture
Built of finished limestone and faced in white granite, the complext covers nearly ten acres of riverfront property and has walls that reach heights of 50'. There is a single gatehouse, the Great Gate, and it has towers that are 65' tall and an entrance that is 30' wide and 45' tall. These walls encompass a square that is planted with many beds of flowers, trees and shrubs, with paths of gravel and stone weaving among them.
