Throneworld Court Palace
This is both a place and the courtiers who make it a microcultural society so I'm not sure how to categorize it, but I needed a place to put maps of the Chatcaavan palace/court.
The Queen's Tower
There is a broad central stairway through the core of this tower lined with jeweled mosaics, and guards stand outside the doors leading into the various chambers at each level. [1] There is surveillance throughout this tower, except in the Queen's suite. "You belong to the Emperor, my Queen. For anyone else to spy on you would have been an insult to him. Only he should have access to you." [2]
Catacombs
The aliens were kept here during Wingless, and later it was used for the escape. Poorly maintained; has a tunnel leading out of the palace, debouching near the palace landing pad. Had not been used for over a hundred revolutions when the Knife described it to the Queen Ransomed. [3]
The Menders
Imperial Nursery
Installed near the base of the tower. Guarded by males, overseen by tongueless female caretakers/slaves who were taken from rivals but not beautiful, significant or young enough to be remanded to the harem. Separated into at least two rooms; the room nearest the interior of the tower is reserved for female children, and the one with the window for male children. [4]
Gift Harem
Imperial Harem
Use Closet
Halfway between the Imperial Harem and the Queen's Suite, the use closet is reached from a door at a landing, and occupies the space beneath the final flight of stairs.[5] This is where the Chatcaava store implements of torture or pleasure for use in the harems.
Queen's Suite
Clinic
The clinic is never closed. [6] Females and menials are never treated there, only ranking males. Has a reception area, where Triage sits. Then a corridor leading back to various rooms, a room for gel-tanks, some surgery theaters, and the Surgeon's office.
