Emperor's Palace

The Palace, once ruled by the Emperor Tao-tsun, was revealed to be hidden behind the city's Temple. However, similar to many locations of Shadow City, the Palace is shown to be abandoned upon entry, presumably from sieges and warfare, leaving eons of artifacts in its wake.

The player's perspective is shown to be standing rather elevated to the floor of the throne room, looking upon the many treasures of the dynasty.
