Here you will find a compilation of the various named rooms of the Royal Palace of the Purple Dragon, seat of power of the Obarskyrs, who rule Cormyr.
Miscellaneous information about the Royal Palace (such as palace protocol and standing orders) will be collected here as well.
***************************
JUMP TO A LETTER:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
***************************
If you discover a room name not yet mentioned in the list, please post the name here along with a book name and page reference, and I'll add it in (or a web address, if an online source).
Even if a room has already been mentioned in the list, if you happen to see that it's also mentioned in another source, please chime in with that source's name and what page(s) the mention of the room is listed on.
If that mention indicates the room has changed in some way, or shares information about the room not already found in the room's entry, please share that information too.
This way we can construct a living history for each room, and as complete a record as possible.
There are around 600 rooms in the Royal Palace from tip top to deep bottom, so there's enough work for everyone.
Thankee in advance.

It is named for a stunningly beautiful young lady-in-waiting of the Palace very early in Azoun IV's reign, who covertly entertained an astonishing number of manservants within it, including the gardeners who tended it.

The room is decorated in crimson draperies and stuffed beds with matching hues. The room was long used for trysts so war wizards confiscated the keys on or about 1439 DR. A secret passage runs behind one wall of this chamber, on which a smiling portrait of King Duar and his queen hangs. Through the eyes of both Royals one may peer into the room and behold a well-used bed and catch sight of the great lamp-studded hanging statue for which the room is named. p.358

Xantorth Hall Questions for Ed Greenwood (2014). http://forum.candlekeep.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18725&whichpage=25#456124
- A little-used royal trophy room of sorts that houses preserved monster relics in glass cases, including tentacles and the much-shrunken central eye of the beholder for which it is named--who like all the monsters whose parts are displayed here, was slain by an Obarskyr in the past. There are persistent rumors that this room is haunted, or that something valuable is hidden in it, tales reinforced by the standing order (from before the ascent of Azoun IV to the Dragon Throne) that the room be kept locked except for specific, approved-by-the-Crown (that is, King, Queen, or Royal Magician--plus Court Wizard, when this is a separate post) entries.

Baerauble's Tomb is in the Royal Court, not in the Palace, at the far end of the Hall of the Purple Dragon (the throne room). |
