The Prefectoral Palace, seen from the garden.

On 4290 ASC, with Imperial Decree 482, in which the function of Lord Mayor of Shirekeep became Prefect, the Prefectoral Palace was built to house the Prefect of Shirekeep and Skyla. The palace was located in the Boreal Quarter. As a result several Elwynnese and Hyperborean houses which has stood there for centuries were broken down and replaced by a palace.


The palace was surrounded by walls, just like Raynor's Keep, which have the purpose to protect the Prefect and citizens during an attack of the city. Besides that, the location of both the Prefectoral Palace as Raynor's Keep give the defenders the chance to help each other by bombarding the enemy forces from two sides (the palace has its own artillery and guards).

The palace was burnt to the ground during the Year of the Four Kaisers (1644 AN), and a new site for its reconstruction is being evaluated by the Steward Daniyal Dravot.
