Sheng Imperial Palaces

Yong'an Palace
The center of all of the Sheng Chinese Empire, the Imperial Residence of the Grand Empress located in the capitol of Yong'an.

It is itself a city with over a thousand attendants, guards, and other staff working within the thousands of rooms in the Palace.

The Palace was built in the beginning of the 3rd Century after the founding of the Sheng Kingdom by Sheng Tai. The Palace was renovated, expanded and completed at the end of the 3rd Century to celebrate the unification of the whole of China by Sheng He.

The Palace would be renovated, remodeled, destroyed and rebuilt over the next 15 centuries. The foundation, underground vaults, and inner most rooms of the palace originally belonging to Sheng Tai and Sheng He are the only remaining pieces of the original palace.
