The Palace of the Lupine Throne is a monument to the Allemagnian monarchy that overlooks the domain from the peninsula. The Crown Guard patrols the outer ramparts to keep the nobility sheltered from threats. Fruit trees blossom in its outer grove, which the Queen offers freely to her subjects every summer. Newlyweds from the farthest reaches of Her Majesty’s domain visit the gardens surrounding the grove; a kiss shared within brings good fortune and lasting love.
The Queen’s keep is past the gate, where the Alley nobility sets policy and decides the course of the kingdom. Tall stained-glass windows depict past monarchs with eyes trained down on subjects walking the halls.
On the third Saturday of each month, Unknown holds open court in the Moonpool Sanctum. Her throne sits high in this open-air garden, and petitioners wait in a gallery along the wall. When called, they cross a stone footbridge to a tiny island in the center of a pond to make their petition to the monarch Herself.
