The Shuttered Palace

The Shuttered Palace

"The Traitor Empress and her consort live safely in the Shuttered Palace, in the protective custody of the Bazaar. No-one is permitted to use her name anymore."

"Why is the Empress' Palace shuttered? Apparently the Empress doesn't like light. Or sudden movements, loud noises, foreigners, treason, peaches. When you're Empress, you can do this kind of thing."

The Shuttered Palace, at the very west end of London, likely used to be called Kensington Palace but was renamed after the Fall. The Empress and her family, with the scandalous exception of the ahistorical Captivating Princess, are confined to the palace.

In-game, the Shuttered Palace is most interesting to players with Persuasive 60-85.

The Empress's Court

The Court is the inner sanctum of the Shuttered Palace; it is where the Empress and her family (all ten children!) live and the most famed artists in London work. In-game, it is most interesting to players with Persuasive 85+.
