Tabik Bētemisīt (building)

Next: Tabik Bētemisīt

Constructed by Eshwo in preparation for the Most High's return, the Empty Palace stands as a monument to both the Mogowai faith and the Boqqarut that codified it. Towering over the surrounding city, the building itself is an impressive architectural feat, with grand collumned hallways and domes surpassing anything seen elsewhere in the region, especially when it was constructed.

Though officially empty, the palace was in reality inhabited by the successive Boqqars, who maintained it as stewards awaiting His return. Over the centuries, as wealth accumulated in the hands of these rulers, it would become increasingly encrusted with rare gemstones and precious metals, which remain even now as signs of the Boqqarut's wealth. After Damota fell into chaos during the Etami Tetenik, the massive structure remained untouched, with the various conquerers to have taken the city each making a point of preserving it, hoping to use it as a tool to garner legitimacy.
