บท 161: Ghoul Army

The royal palace of Mara was built in the south of Babus on the shore of a lake. It was not as majestic as the palace of the Crete Empire, nor was it a holy sanctuary, like the Temple of Light in St. Sarl City. It did not carry the bearing of a millennium of history, like the orc lands in the St. Seville Empire.

Though it wasn't a large palace, its luxury was unrivaled. The entire Kingdom of Mara was built in layers, with many cascading gardens, which were filled with exotic flowers and grasses and rare animals.

Waterways were built in-between the gardens, and an artificial lake had also been created. The decorative stones within the rock garden had all been painstakingly hauled in by hand.

The intricate design made the entire palace seem like a water garden. The stones, flowers, and gardens were like lovely paintings among the waterfalls and fountains. Small and exquisite buildings were interspersed in the greenery.
