BORPHEE ROYAL PALACE
The Borphee Royal Palace, was the alternative
Quendoran royal castle constructed in
the city of
Borphee sometime prior to 659 GUE.
Zilbo III spent
much time in the
Borphee Palace, perhaps vacationing, perhaps attending to affairs of
state from a more centralized location. Both the
authentic and
Pseudo-Duncanthrax held court in Borphee during an interim period
before the
move to
Egreth in 670, at which time the city was called the capital of
Quendor. It was from this palace in 659 where Zilbo III resigned and
the beginning of 660 where Duncanthrax's coronation was held.
A tall
stone wall surrounded the grand structure and at night the grounds were
well lit with lanterns and torches. Each of the several gates were shut
tight and guarded. In the days of Pseudo-Duncanthrax, the lower levels
were a tremendous dungeon, while the upper levels included a harem and
throne room.
