Old Palace

From the Encyclopedia of Speculative Fiction - http://encyclopedia.wizards.pro

The Old Palace of Fenario had stood on one spot for over four hundred years. It was rundown, decript, and falling to pieces; despite the grandeur of its original construction.

The same site next to the River of Faerie has previously housed Fenarr's hut, then later a fortification to protect the newly founded Kingdom. An even earlier palace had also once stood on the site.

King László was fiercely attached to the Old Palace, and refused to repair anything other than the most obvious damage to the structure, as if repairing it would be to admit that the palace was flawed... An affront that he somehow could not bear.

Eventually, the Old Palace failed when the Tree grew inside of it, and eventually its roots tore down and replaced the aging structure.
