House of the Two-as-One

Location
The very center of the city of Siimes.

Physical Description & Ambience
The palace is a tall building, built directly onto the widest river coursing through the Siimessalo forest. Unlike other Sylvan buildings, it does not rest on raised platforms among treetops, but rises up from the river as though it, itself, was a large tree trunk. A better part of the inside of the House is filled with a complex combination of engineering and magic, drawing water up through open conduits until it reaches the main hall near the top of the building.

A collection of canals and pools interspersed by walkways and bridges, the main hall houses the thrones of the two Elven monarchs, one made of living wood and one of flowing water. The opposite end of the hall has a shrine dedicated to Unity.

Inhabitants
The House of the Two-as-One is the seat of power for the Two; at any time, there is one king or queen that is of Sylvan and one that is of Sea Elf descent. These two work together closely, representing not only the interests of their respective peoples but the Elven kingdom as a whole.
