The Royal Palace of Celesties was slightly elevated above the rest of the capital. Enough to view the entirety of the Capital Lunar.
The outer walls were pale stones, polished smooth. The surface was matte, cut to reduce the glare under sunlight. The edges were sharp, and the towers were placed for overlapping lines of sight.
Lighting was handled by enclosed glass lamps fixed to the walls. And a thin veil of mana draped the whole castle to create a perfect environment, a climate just after the rain.
Marcus observed the flicker of the lamps that were placed in the open courtyard walls. They didn't do much, except for a slight visual effect.
At the main gate, far ahead on the path beyond the entry gates of the castle, carriages were stopped in line on a wide stone platform.
Every carriage looked like it belonged to a noble, and countless fleets were being arranged as Marcus's carriage moved forward without disturbance.
