The Ducal Palace in central Eliria remains your palace as long as you remain the duke. In front of the palace there is a grand statue or monument, Ode to Multuculturalism, portraying an old Duchess and an old Baron of Elwynn embracing each other.

The text of the Law creating the monument reads:

MONUMENT LAW[2024]
In front of the old Ducal palace in Eliria a grand monument shall be risen to there stand. The monument shall be called "Ode to multiculture" and the monument shall show statues of the Duchess Greenwood and the Baron Raspur holding each other tenderly in a moral and honourable manner. Both figures shall be portrayed smiling, platonically loving and happy. The Baron shall on his head wear a turban of highest rank and the Duchess a ducal crown, both ornaments of equal height. Both man and woman shall be of equal height. Behind the couple a statue of the Goddess of Elwynn shall stand, one-third taller than the couple. She shall be portrayed with an authoritarian smile on her face. Her hands shall be placed in the air over the heads of the couple, as if the Goddess were praying for them. The monument shall be made out of finest marble and be high in detail. Reparations and maintenance of the monument shall be held as necessary. The monument´s name, position or existence may not be changed by count, baron, duke, or any other ruler of the lands of Elwynn. Only the Kaiseress may order a destruction or moval of the monument.

Almost a thousand days have passed since then, and the monument stands tall yet.

[Harald of Froyalan]
