Landsraad Building
The Landsraad Building is located in the Landsraad District in Shirekeep. It's the center of political activity of the Empire, as all nobles gather in or near the building. Before 4042 ASC, Minor Nobles had to make law proposals at the Frontgate of the building, but since the reign of Kaiser Ometeotl I all nobles can enter and speak inside the Landsraad.
Since the reign of Kaiser Gaelen IV, the Landsraad is guarded by a company of the Apollonian Guard, the bodyguards of the Kaiser.
Before it is the famous equestrian statue of Praetor Nicholas Raglan, and its legendary cast-iron Front Gate both keeps out commoners and serves as a meeting-point where they can protest the body's actions. The Landsraad also has a much less conspicuous Back Gate, built by Nicholas Raglan as a secret escape route during a period of tensions between the Kaiser and the nobility. The period ended amicably when Kaiser Trantor III signed the famous Mango Carta. Tourists are welcome unless there is a meeting going on; while adults view the majestic meeting hall, children can try their hands at the fun Landsraad Water Bottle Toss game outside.
