NightWing palace
Template:Infobox Location The NightWing palace is located on the Night Kingdom Peninsula. It was where many celebrations were held during Darkstalker, and also where Clearsight lived and worked when she served as Queen Vigilance's private seer.
Description
The palace is partially built into the mountain[1] and has many towers, including the Royal Tower that Darkstalker showed Fathom and Indigo.[2] The top spire has a prisoner display.[3] The hallways are made of black marble with mirrors every three steps.[4] The guest suite that Fathom stayed in has a large black door that closely resembled many of the other doors in the palace.[5] There is also a fountain in the corner of the room, and several candles lit the room.[6] The SeaWing guest chambers were decorated with seafoam greens and blues.[citation needed]
The throne room has a central dais that held the queen's throne.[7]
The palace has a library, and this was where Clearsight spent most of her time calculating possible futures for Queen Vigilance. The library also has a librarian's desk. While she was working in the library, Clearsight filled up seemingly hundreds of scrolls, and it was described that dragons had to wade through the scrolls to get anywhere in the library.[8]
Present-day, it is more intact than a lot of other ancient structures.[citation needed] According to Turtle, it is about five times as large as the Deep Palace.[9]
History
The Jade Mountain Prophecy
When the palace was rediscovered in Talons of Power, it was turned into King Darkstalker's
new residence. He placed Turtle in one of the "darkest dungeons" in the palace after summoning all animus dragons.
Legends
Darkstalker and his family were invited to the queen's palace upon finding out he had magic. Fathom — another animus — was present as a guest to teach Darkstalker the dangers of animus magic. Later in the book, Clearsight moved in as the queen's new seer. During the fall of Darkstalker, the palace was vacated due to the NightWings fleeing from danger.
