The 'NightWing palace' is a structure within the lost city of night that
was inhabited by Queen Vigilance, Clearsight, and several members of the
NightWing court.

## Description

### Historic era

The palace was partially built into a mountain and had many towers,
including a structure referred to as the Royal Tower and a top spire
that contained a prisoner display. The hallways were made of black
marble, imbued with mirrors every three steps. Fathom|Prince Fathom's
guest suite had a large black door that closely resembled many of the
other doors in the palace. There was also a fountain in the corner of
the room, candles throughout the space, and a balcony.

The throne room had a central dais that held the queen's throne. The
palace also had its own library, including a librarian's desk and
seemingly hundreds of scrolls. There was also mentioned to be a royal
treasure room somewhere within the palace.

There was a path from the throne room leading to the central courtyard.
It was the heart of the palace and a series of grand ballrooms, gardens,
and atriums with tall glass ceilings. One of the gardens featured
ancient trees with moss and vines hanging down from the branches and
mirrors set up throughout the garden to reflect the moonlight.
Dragons|Dragon-made ponds are not far from the palace.

### Modern era

In modern Pyrrhia, the palace ruins are massive and imposing, about five
times as large as the Deep Palace, with dark chambers and a hallway that
leads into a long colonnade encircling and overlooking a courtyard.
Statues of dragons carved from black marble dot the courtyard, all of
them with diamonds for eyes. The courtyard also contained a throne.

The guest suite once inhabited by Fathom and Indigo is dusty and
deserted. It is run-down, and the fountain, surrounded by a tiled pool,
is in disuse. A blanket and Darkstalker's original soul reader also
resided in this room until it was taken by Qibli. It had a balcony, a
pile of cushions, an antique vase on a side table containing white
flowers and water, beds, and dark green blankets.

The throne room is at the end of a black marble corridor. It is empty.

The top floor of the palace contains smaller council rooms with marble
and cold stone floors. One of the rooms is empty, with a wall of open
windows overlooking the ruined city below.

The palace library has a scroll with the architectural plans of the
palace lying on a table. It contains only one vast room, with several
tables containing unrolled scrolls, and one large table in the middle.

The dungeon entrance is located next to the royal throne room. The
dungeons are behind a sinister iron door, coated with rust, with a
handle and three heavy iron bolts studding the edge of the door, sealing
it in place. The door leads into darkness, with a few stairs leading
downwards.

## History

### The Jade Mountain Prophecy

#### Talons of Power

When the palace was rediscovered, it was turned into King Darkstalker's
new residence. He placed Turtle in one of the "darkest dungeons" in the
palace after summoning all animus dragons.

#### Darkness of Dragons

Qibli went into the palace to find Kinkajou, Turtle, and Anemone in the
dungeons.

### Legends

#### Darkstalker

Darkstalker and his family were invited to the queen's palace upon
finding out he had magic. Fathom — another animus — was present as a
guest to teach Darkstalker the dangers of animus magic. Later,
Clearsight moved in to the palace as the queen's new Head Seer. During
the fall of Darkstalker, the palace was vacated due to the NightWings
fleeing from danger of Darkstalker.
