Prince of Parrlay
Intent: To provide House Veruna with a central power base and dramatic architectural statement piece reflecting their reborn influence, while serving as a hub for political, economic, and personal RP development.

Structure Name: The Rainspire
Classification: Noble Residence / Political Seat
Location: Naboo, Outer Territory Peninsula of Parrlay
Affiliation: House Veruna | Royal Naboo Republic
Accessibility: Private access only. Located on a sheer promontory flanked by ocean on three sides and mountainous on the fourth, The Rainspire is isolated, visible for miles, and yet deliberately unreachable by standard routes. Access is limited to a fortified causeway, private airlifts, or sea approach through a heavily monitored cove beneath the cliffs.
Description:
The Rainspire is less a home and more a stone-etched manifesto. Rising from the black cliffs of Parrlay's coast like a half-forgotten god's monument, the palace is a testament to reborn legacy and sharpened elegance. Constructed from volcanic obsidian and marble quarried from House Veruna's own holdings, its silhouette is all sharp angles, ocean-facing balconies, and towering arched windows. Designed to be both a fortress and a gallery, The Rainspire whispers wealth, screams power, and hums with the subtle paranoia of a family that clawed its way back from disgrace.
- The Grand Solarium: A high-domed chamber with a panoramic ocean view, doubling as a political reception hall and subtle intimidation device. The acoustics make whispers carry and silence louder than thunder.
- The Echo Vaults: Subterranean wine cellars and secure archives storing records, artifacts, and less... savory history. Accessible only through retinal scan or very specific blackmail.
- Moonwater Terrace: A reflecting pool terrace on the eastern wing, where rare Naboo flora are cultivated and evening deals are made under imported starlight filters. Also features a discreet landing pad, because subtlety is for cowards.
- The Silent Gallery: Curated by Aurelian's mother, this long corridor of scandalously obtained offworld art doubles as a laundering route for both finances and reputation. Certain pieces are rumored to be listening.
- The War Cloister: A private courtyard ringed by military reliefs and statues of Veruna ancestors, both disgraced and reinvented. Aurelian conducts his training here, watched by generations of familial disappointment immortalized in stone.
- The Throne Hall: No one calls it that out loud, but everyone knows what it is. Used for private councils and strategic gatherings. The room is windowless, the ceiling vaulted, the lighting ominous. Aurelian's seat is made of dark iron and grief.
Defensive Assets Include:
- Private Veruna Guard Company (trained ex-military, loyal through debt and ideology)
- Coastal Defense Grid (turbolasers)
- Integrated Surveillance System (droid-operated, biometric keying, active countermeasures)
- Anti-air Shield Dome (can be raised in emergencies)
- Encrypted Communication Towers with offworld link redundancies
- AI-assisted lockdown protocols nicknamed "Tiber's Teeth"
By the time Aurelian Veruna will inherited it, The Rainspire will be not just a home. It was a throne-in-waiting. Every room is curated to suggest power without pleading for it. Every hallway is a lesson in survival wrapped in velvet and weaponized restraint. The structure itself is a ghost of Naboo's past nobility, remade into something newer, colder, and far more dangerous.
And if House Veruna has its way, The Rainspire will one day be remembered not as the house that returned - but as the house that conquered, with style.
