The Palace of the Dazzling Sun is a royal complex located on the Salt Coast, long used by Khapeshan monarchs as a hidden retreat. With its location unknown to all but the monarchs and their most trusted advisors, the Palace served as a sanctuary from which Khapeshan kings and queens could rule their realm in seclusion, unbothered by the mundanities that were left to the nomarchs.
Rather austere for its role, the palace complex included a number of buildings. Along with a throne room and living quarters, the Palace included an extensive library as well as other space that was used according to the whims and interests of the monarch. A grand temple holds shrines to each of the major Khapeshan deities.
The Palace is protected by multiple layers of magical wards. If one does not already know of its exact location, a number of spells make it exceedingly difficult to find. Not only do illusions prevent it from being seen, but those attempting to locate the Palace also find themselves subconsciously compelled to avoid it.
Menes II was the last ruler of Khapesh to use the Palace of the Dazzling Sun. Since the end of his reign, the complex has only seen use by the new king's council.
