Old Palace (Coral)

The Old Palace, or keep, was the residence of the ruler of Coral. It was built along the cliffs overlooking Coral Bay and the harbour, and occupied the highest tier of city.Memories of Ice, Chapter 24, US SFBC p.863-864/879 The palace's outer wall was stronger than those surrounding the city, and its main structure was carved into the mountainside, a combination of raw rock and worked stone.Memories of Ice, Chapter 24, US SFBC p.881 The heart of the vast palace fortress was carved downwards into the rock. Despite years of attacks by Elingarth warships and pirates, it had never fallen.Memories of Ice, Chapter 20, US SFBC p.696-697

What was left of the Old Palace was mostly just a heap of rubble after the siege. Its stone and surviving timber were still being salvaged for new construction nearly a year later.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.59 The pile of black stone smelled of fire and death and the street along its ragged edge was renamed Fringe Stagger.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.74 A New Palace was later erected by the newly resident Tiste Andii, just to the west of it.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.58-59Toll the Hounds, Map of Black Coral & Environs
