Palace of Isnonatiapi

The Palace of Isnonatiapi is the official residence of the Emperor of the Empire of Tiapi. It is located on the Royal Island, located in the River Tiapi that runs through the centre of the city of Isnonatiapi.
== History ==
=== Original Structure ===
The Royal Island was the historic home of the King of Chapi, with a palace being located there for the entirety of that Kingdom's duration. It is unknown how many palaces existed, yet due to the longevity of the Kingdom is likely it may have been in the tens. 
The most known Palace was that which was razed by the Sinhad Horde during the sacking of Isnonatiapi in 4004RC. 
After the razing of the city, the Palace lay in ruin for several hundred years until the land was purchased by local rulers who returned the island to it's function as the centre of government. 
=== New Palace ===
With the establishment of the Empire in 6203, the Emperor immediately began a project to construct a new grand palace on the historic island. His former Palace was located outside the city, and would remain in use until the new Palace was constructed. This particular Palace would be turned into a hospital after the departure of the Emperor, remaining in use for over 300 years. 
By 6220RC, the palace was in a state that was liveable for the Emperor. Despite this, work would remain ongoing until 6228RC, when the final ornamental pieces were finished on the facade. 
The Palace would undergo several enhancement works during the years, having entirely new wings added, a grand dome added to the formerly pointed front rotunda, and large minarets added to the sides that stand as the tallest points of the Palace, both of which host fires on the very top that are forbidden to be extinguished.
