Palát to Creso Maertýrion (building)

Next: Palát to Creso Maertýrion

The Palace of the Golden Martyrs is the official residence of the Governor of Opakhasia, or at least it was when the title 'governor' held any actual weight. A beautiful structure done up in the traditional Opakhasian whites, golds, blacks and purples, several Aautokratir's in Aversarian history have held residence here while ruling from Aironoi or Oraispol, enjoying the lavishness of the palace in their summers.

It is unknown how the palace made its name, though recent archeological discoveries of a temple complex buried underneath the structure have led many Aversarian historians to believe that it may have originally been the name for a monastic site of the Mountain-Sun Temple. Despite the beauty and the history, however, the palace has fallen to disrepair. With the deteoritation of Opakhasia since the Chaos of the Seventh Century and the collapse of Aversaria after Frodbrokna, many of its wings have been abandoned, and much of the outer walls have been stripped for building materials.
