Palaces in the Lein Dynasty

Palaces, or Kirakanon (singular kirakan), have always been potent symbols and foci of Imperial power, and the Lein Dynasty is no different. Besides serving as administrative centres, the palaces may also serve purposes of fortification, in which case they are known as Agenite Kirakan or fortified palaces. Many prominent officials and members of the Imperial Family also build palaces to serve as their residences.

Some of the most famous and important constructions of the Lein Dynasty are their palaces, including the new Anyesir Palace which serves as the nerve centre of the whole Imperial Administration, as well as all the other older palaces around the city of Meiron which have served the same role for previous dynasties. Many such palaces are barred from entry by commoners, as well as being walled and under heavy guard to ensure the safety of the officials and people therein.
