Lionrun Castle

Lionrun Castle is the formal place of residence of the Crown Sovereign of the Central Empire. It has been the official residence of the crown for over 200 years. 
==History==
Lionrun was chosen as the site of the new imperial capital after the Red-Rush due to the significant damage done to the old capital during the decades long conflict. Upon this site were the fishing hamlets of Oakley and Binchley and an ancient monastary upon a hilly mount at the mouth of the Lionrun delta on the River Djorer.
The new castle is a 29th Century manor house and gardens built upon the old monastary foundations. Afsmore House comprises the new portion of the castle and the Old Cloisters are the only remaining part of the old religious structure on the summit of the mount. 
==Current Resident==
As of 3269 IC, Empress Elexandria Forlen is the sole royal inhabitant of the castle, though she is accompanied by chambermaids, and other household staff.
==Military Garrison==
Lionrun Castle has a small Guard Garrison and a barracks for the Greatswords of Kahn who have traditionally been the protectors of the Imperial Sovereign. The Greatswords of Kahn, however in modern times, remain a purely ceremonial detail and so The Imperial Guard manages the security of the castle and the protection of the Crown.
