The darkness of the ShadowLands fades away and you are enveloped in warm sunlight and a cool sea breeze. You stand before an immense white castle with no idea of how you came to be here. The castle bustles with activity. Guards, cooks, maids, gardeners, and strange little bureaucrats dressed in unifoms of blue, white, and silver attend their duties.
You are an invited guest of the Empress Lighthope. At the Palace Gate, you are greeted courteously and given a map by one of the anonymous and strange little bureaucrats. You are very excited about the chance to explore the Imperial Palace, to find out if the mysteries within match the image you have.
You now stand in the Courtyard.
