A thousand years ago, the palace was a thousand years old.
So many empires, so many cities rose and fell. but The Palace of The Gods lived on.
Invaders came to fight the empires, expanding their own empires.
If they burned the city, they built a new city in its place.
All the while, the palace stood and watched everything.
Some dared to storm the palace, never to return.
The next day, at the gate, a pile of bloody bones and armor and swords.
Banners on the walls spelled out the day’s orders:
“BURY THE DEAD. DO NOT TRY AGAIN.”
