Shining Citadel
Nestled at the peak of the mountains of Empala, the Shining Citadel can be seen from miles away (hence its name). It is the pinnacle of power in Arunia, as it is home to the throne and whoever may be ruling at the current time.
Alterations
Since its creation, each subsequent ruler has made their own additions to the palace. Some of the most notable include the soaring tower library (which contains over 50 stories of books), the sparring pit and even an underground pit filled to the brim with torture equipment (although it’s use has long since been discontinued).
Architecture
Befitting its name, the Citadel is constructed from a bright, shimmering, gold metal. It is unknown exactly what this material is. Its towers and ramparts stretch high above the tallest peaks of the mountains with soaring arches and peaks that elongate its height.
History
The origin of the Citadel is not fully known, though it is commonly believed to be built by the First King himself. As the home to the throne and the rightful ruler of Arunia, many wars have been fought over and inside of it. Most recently, King Jonad made his final push during the Great War 50 years ago in its very grounds, slaughtering his enemies to ascend to the throne.
