The Perimeter Walls
Around the perimeter of the Imperial Palace stands a 50 foot high wall, built by the engineers of The St.Benedict Order
it was originally made with stones and bricks to be 10 meters thick making the walls almost impenetrable
to a besieging force. Towers were Build at regular intervals to provide constant observation incase of an attack,
Over time as technology improved the stone and bricks were removed to make the walls out of metal but due to
metal conducting heat it was encased in stone and brick once more by the Order of St. Benadict, on each stone
a message, a incantation or an image was carved into its side with the belief that it would make the walls
even stronger and withstand the test of time. To this day that belief remain true as no Army has ever
Breached the walls nor has any section of the walls ever collapsed or shown a sign of weakness.

2 Great Wooden Doors reinforced by several thick steel bars remain closed, on either side is a portcullis and behind that,

The Gardens
Once through the Great Winchester Gate a world of beauty and awe is revealed as the Imperial Gardens are no longer hidden behind a wall of might, but are revealed in all their beauty and glory.
In the Gardens grows a wide range of beutifully exotic plants, from Atheenos to Lungha, they grow tall and take the breath away of all who’s sight gazed upon them, trapping the heart in a spiral of awe.
Along the well kept marble paths that run through the gardens Fountains rise, sending jets of water into the air creating the relaxing sound of splashing water.
Along the Paths and near the fountains, benches well crafted from many differen’t woods with inscriptions that tell a story of this proud nation, From the tale of the Rose Knight and the Sky knight to the tale of Prince Rupert and the maiden.
The deeper and deeper you go into the Gardens the greater the beauty that will surround you, statues of hero’s of old, knights who served the Imperial family and passed from the world stand watch with their stone gaze, never blinking, weapons in hand, standing tall and strong, never leaving their post, always serving, even in death. Below their statue is their name, their title, and the deeds they did, all earned their place and all are remembered!

The Road to the Palace
Once thought the outstanding Winchester Gate there is a smooth, carefully paved road that leads through the beautiful gardens to reveal their beauty to those on the road on the way to the Imperial Palace, The Road is flanked the whole way by Heroic statues of bold knights who served the nation until their death. Every 5 meters another statue stands tall, its stone glare meeting that of the statue opposite.
The statues although all depicting knights, are different, some wield famous swords, immortalised in the pages of legends, other wield axes, spears, lances etc.
With outstretched arms their weapons fuse when they join over the road, creating an arch that guides all along the Road, continuing to serve, even after death. Upon each weapon bears the nickname each was given and a lien of inages depict how that nickname was earned!
All the statues proudly bear their families coat of arms, a symbol of their pride, thier honour and image! Immortalized in stone and duty! Prestige until the statues day and their name deeds as washed from history!

At the end of the Road is a large courtyard with a large, beautiful, peaceful fountain, sculpted by the greatest architects to form the image of Lady Britannia (like as in person form of the country not a real person) upon a Gold, Sea crafted (as in style) chariot surrounded by a small sea of water. Her legs made from Silver, covered In armour, shine Gloriously in the daylight sun, at her knees ends her Bronze skirt, with Bolts of Steel that give a militaristic feel, her stomach made from cold steel outlines her strong muscles that hold up the nation, the pattern of the sea and its inhabitants whirl round her side to her rear then back round until it joins her muscular stomach.
Her Gold Chest Boldly shines in the light of the sun, the Eagle over her breasts on the Breastplate gleams a godly shine, its wings expanding from shoulder to shoulder, watching over the water for disturbance. a wave pattern fuses the bottom of her Gold Chest-plate with the Steel that makes her stomach armour like when the ocean meets the sky.
The Face of a Lion made from gold clamps down over her right shoulder and a Wolf Face made from Silver Clamps down on her left, to each is attached the Edge of a Bronze cape that extends over the water behind her, on the cape is the Flag of the Empire and the Motto "Blood, Fire and Steel!", a Reminder that this is Lady Britannia!
Her Strong arms made from many different metals, depicts the foundation of the Empire.
Her Gold Hands fuse with her Arms by bracelets of Ivory shaped like pearls, her silver nails extending,on her left hand she bears a shield that holds the Flag of the empire, between her figers she is holding the silver rope that leads the chariot gracefully. And in her other hand, positioned to lunge into the water she hold a trident make from gold with a bronze seathemed pattern running around the shaft, challenge all who dare to approach.
Her Chariot pulled by a Fierce Lion and a proud wolf made from Gold and Silver with sapphires for eyes, stare down at all who travel upon the Road.
Her Eyes shine with a fiery power, illuminated by the rubies that make them. Her skin made from Ivory contrasting to her eyes and shows off her strong jaw, Her Long Gold hair flows down, past her shoulder and rests smoothly upon her breasts.
Upon the Top of her head sits a Greek style,Gold, Helmet embroiled with a crown of precious stones, showing her beauty and power to the world like a rising tidal wave.
The Entrence
Step, step another step up the dark marble steps that lead to 2 Enourmous wooden doors, lined with steel and bolts to through back any threat. Incantations and mottos strengthen every inch and make it stand ever taller like a giant watching over ants. Above the doors a great eagle spreads it’s wings.
Flanking the stairs are 2 statues as tall as the Palace itself, bold and fierce in their duty, the lion and the wolf, the symbols of House Britannia. Their stone gaze never flinching, never turning, looking over all the land that the Palace owns!.

The Crypts
Deep Below the Imperial Palace there are the Crypts, here is where all of the Imperial Family are buried, A statue of each person is build over their Grave, the statues are sculpted to accurately depict the desist as much as possible, the statues are made from stone and have different precious stones for their eyes depending on what stone is the time of their birth. A new Row shows a new Generation of the Imperial Family with the first born nearest to the entrance to the row and the last born at the end.
The current living imperial family comes down regularly to pay respects to their anscestors.
Outside the palace vague ideas to be expanded on
extraordinarily large building, with stone walls tall enought to be seen miles away, pillars shot up like beams of light showing their engravings of animals, battles and objecs to the world.
Guards dressed in Red uniforms with White hats marched as far as could be seen from the car and the sound of their boots on stone echoed as if in a canyon.
Gardens lush with Vegitation from across the world we’re well kept, some created arches, others where sculpted to create statues and in the middle a massive fountain depicting a swan surrounded by a small lake took everyone’s breath away.
As the convoy moved closer to the palace cats, dogs and other animals could be seen bathing in the sun along the Gardens edge.
What’s more is that every 5 metered was the statue of a knight on each side of the entrance road, arms outstretched holding a sword in contact with the knight on the other sides sword, on each statue was the name of a fallen knight, serving on in death, and on the sword the name of their blade.
At the foot of Palace was a circular area for the convoy to park, with dark marble stairs leading up to the large, detailed wooden doors with inscriptions of many British Bayonet mottos. Now the stairs were flanked by 2 statues almost as tall of the building itself, A lion and A wolf, the animal symbols of British Bayonet.
