Imperial Guang Palace
The Imperial Daocheng Palace is the home of the Heavenly Light and the seat of the government of the Jingdaoese Empire. Located in the capital city of Daocheng, the palace and surrounding grounds served as the spiritual and political center of the entire Empire. The palace is a superb example of traditional Jingdaoese architecture and its massive scale makes it unlike anything else in the Realm.
The Palace and surrounding grounds were, in fact, a city on their own. Therefore, the Palace is divided into a restricted quarter (mainly the living quarters of those belonging to the Household), a Forbidden quarter (government buildings) and the Divine Forbidden City (only accessible for the Emperor and His most loyal staff).
