The Imperial Palace "The Imperial Palace is a huge collection of ornate buildings dedicated to housing the Emperor and his vast court. When Emperor Grover I founded Griffenheim, he first erected a palace for himself, which was then expanded by his successors over the years. It became a miniature city of its own, bustling with activity. After the Revolution of 978 and the Empire's collapse, it was the center of the chaos and suffered widespread damage, which Emperor Grover V spent his entire life meticulously repairing."

The Dragon Throne "Symbol of the power that the Dragon Lord wields and the sum total with the Bloodstone Scepter of the regalia, the Dragon Throne is an awe-inspiring sight to all creatures alike.

Library of Magehold "Built long before the first ponies arrived in the Dread Peninsula, the Library of Magehold is an underground labyrinth filled with potent, unnatural magicks crafted by a long forgotten precursor civilization.

The Tar Pine Rock "To an outside observer, this landmark looks like it came straight out of a foal's storybook. Upon an immensely huge rock jutting out diagonally over the lake stands a beautiful castle built by the ancient pony clan of Stromhoof nearly 1000 years ago. Since then, its residents have spilled out over the entirety of the rock along with the land surrounding it, but the castle itself remains a wondrous thing to behold."

The Tomb of Arantigos "Arantigos Featharin. The name of the ancient warrior permeates through Griffonian history, but nowhere is his legacy as strong as here. Kingdoms and empires have been built in the image of his legend, the one, true, first of all conquerors. Who are you, aspiring forger of an empire, if you do not pay a visit to his shrine?"

The Storm King's Palace "Despite its youth relative to other monuments in the world, the Storm King's palace has earned its place in the annals of history on sheer visual imposition. The pointless fortress walls built alongside it also add to the story surrounding its construction in arrogance." Location: Eye Of The Storm, Effects:

The Pyramid of the Sphinx "Built with unfathomable arithmetic, this enduring monument stands testament to the prowess of Maregypt's ancient architectural minds.

The Grand Temple of Arcturius "The Grand Temple of Arcturius in Rila has suffered greatly in recent decades. First taken over by republicans who made it a secular building dedicated to the "cult of reason", then taken over by the Discret dynasty that expelled the "hostile" Archonate from its home due to its close ties to the Griffonian Empire. The great fortress-temple has been stripped bare of anything valuable, but for the small number of clergy still living in it, this does not matter. Riches are but a distraction from their veneration of Arcturius, the god of war. Everything they've lost was merely a sacrifice in His name, one they were willing to make. As such, the temple now appears more like a military complex than a place of worship, knights guarding its gates, guns pointed at any who would disturb their peace again." Location: Rila, Effects:

Castle of the Order of Brothers of the Griffon House of Prelate Aloysious in Cloudbury "The Castle of the Brothers of the Griffon House of Prelate Aloysious in Cloudbury, commonly known as the Castle of the Hellquill Order, is an impressive fortress complex at the heart of Hellquill city. The original structure dates back to the days of Grover II and the establishment of the Ordensstaat, but since then it has been expanded and built on many times. Nevertheless, its core remains a massive brick building, inspiring every acolyte passing through its gates." Location: Hellquil, Effects:

The Palace of the Grand Prince "Once upon a time, a monarch ruled from this place, commanding his armies and receiving subjects in audience.

The Akropolis "The city of Nimbusi, like many in Nimbusia, is built around the highest point, the Akropolis.

The Grand Temple of Eyr "The Grand Temple of Eyr is hidden behind a large garden and covered in thick foliage, so its true size remains hidden from view. It is a large structure, one of the largest ones in Romau, home to the Archon of Eyr and hundreds of clergygriffons. Dedicated to the goddess of fertility, it is said that if all of Romau ran out of food, the Temple would still be able to feed itself thanks to its bountiful gardens. Romauans say there is a simple way to discover the well-being of the citizenry: in times of trouble, all griffons flock to the temple to get free bread. Attached to the building is also a huge maternity hospital, where thousands of griffons are born every year." Location: Romau, Effects:

The Temple is not only the home of the Archon, but also of many leading figures of the cult of Boreas. Hundreds of clergygriffons work there, assisted by thousands of servants."
