The Palace of Mists is a secret ruins deep within the Shadow Forest. Bess is the only resident.
Description[]
The palace is a large stone ruins built long ago by the Others that once served as a university. There are four notable stone spires on top, each being a bell tower, and a garden with broken statues of some animals and Others. Inside, there are several chambers, including a few libraries and burial chamber.
It is difficult to come upon the palace, one must fly high and be very observant to notice the dip in the forest where there seems to be a crater. Waterfalls on the crater's edge cascade into the depths, sending up immense swirls of mist that make it extremely difficult to navigate inside. One may eventually find themselves seeing shapes in the mist, after which one will find the Palace of Mists.
