Royal Palace Courtyard

Royal Palace Courtyard is a small courtyard in the center of the Royal Palace of Mournhold in. It can be entered from either the Temple Courtyard or Plaza Brindisi Dorom via large gates. This is the first location encountered when visiting the palace and through it one can enter the Royal Palace's Imperial Cult Services, guards' quarters, the Legion depot, and reception area. There is a large tree and many smaller plants decorating the center of the courtyard, most of which can be harvested for alchemical ingredients.
