Reiza Palace

Reiza was built by order of Ambrai III, with the profits of the war. Building started during his tenure as High Prince and took seven years to complete. It is the summer residence of the family as the high ceilings, (of some twenty feet high on all three floors), make it difficult to keep warm in winter, while in summer the air is recycled easily. It comprises of over four hundred rooms, of which two hundred are bedrooms. The palace was designed to set a new standard of opulence and design, and succeeded spectacularly.

The palace is, for the most part, a residential building, with very little space dedicated to administration. The east wing holds the royal apartments, while the west wing features the guest apartments specifically designed and built for the Hylian royal family. All of the Hylian apartments are coloured in blue and green hues. These chambers are not used today, and are available as part of a tour of the palace. Members of the Hylian royal family loved to visit Reiza and nicknamed it "the pleasure palace".

Surrounding the palace is a park thirteen thousand acres in size, which is maintained daily by a dedicated staff of gardeners and enclosed by a mile roughly twenty miles long. The family enter into residence typically in early June, and leave for Athlante on the first of September, preferring Reiza for it's seclusion and privacy. Tours are available during the autumn and winter months, limited mostly to the west wing, but with full access to the park.
