Arrenston Palace

Arrenston Palace was the short-lived palace and headquarters of the royal family of the Imperial Empire during the Arrenston Dynasty. The first emperor of the Arrenston's. Emperor Claudio Arrenston commissioned the palace to be built outside of Reme, and chose not to inhabit the usual Imperial Palace within the city. The Arrenston Palace was also built with a guard barracks and a village grew around it, comprising mostly of nobility. The palace and town are located about 30 miles to the northeast of Reme. The palace is now abandoned, while the town of Arrenston still exists, and is now a farming village. The abandoned palace is allegedly haunted by the Ghost of Princess Eliza Arrenston, who died of disease.

History
The palace was built in 4E 397, and had begun construction around five years before that. The palace would be home to every emperor of the Arrenston Dynasty, until the untimely death of the last emperor Vintellius Arrenston II in 4E 455.

Haunting
The palace is allegedly haunted, and the locals of the town of Arrenston refuse to venture inside. It allegedly became haunted after the death of Princess Eliza Arrenston, who died of a disease or fever. Eliza was only 7 years old when she died, and the grief took such a toll on her mother, the Queen Zara Arrenston, that she apparently could not function in a normal state, and was bed ridden before eventually being admitted to an insane asylum in 4E 456. Her father, the emperor Vintellius II, would die just 5 months after her death, after falling from a flight of stairs. As a result of Vintellius' death, no male heirs were of age to take the throne, and as Queen Zara was incapable of being regent, the Emperor's Council opted to vote for a new emperor. The palace would be quickly abandoned, and had no use to the new farmers who replaced the nobility who returned to Reme. The farmers claimed thay at night, if you looked into one of the palace windows, it would be possible to see a young girl. Seeing as the local populace was already superstitious, they never believed it to be any of their own children.

As the years have passed, it has attracted some scholars and mages, with some mages claiming the presence of a spirit, and that she gives a very "odd feeling" which could never be further explained.
