Description
The Royal Palace is situated on a vast, beautiful estate filled with lush gardens and ponds. A wall encircling this estate separates the Palace from the rest of the city.

The Palace itself is a single structure. An elaborate tower with triple eaves is at the center, with three distinct wings joining it. The two smaller wings stand on either side of the main entrance to the Palace building. There are towers at the ends of these wings as well. Directly opposite of the main entrance is the third, larger wing, which houses the Fire Lord's Throne Room.

Inside, the palace is comprised of enormous halls and retains an intricate array of wings and chambers. Large tapestries line the walls and elaborate fire-themed images and moldings are laid out all throughout the numerous sections of the structure.

Throne Room


Also known as the War Room, this is where the Fire Lord makes most of his decisions and where he formulates plans with his advisors, civilian and military. The Throne Room has many black pillars with elaborate gold bases that support the roof, and has black tiled floors. The Fire Lord sits on an ornate covered throne on a higher platform, and is always surrounded by fire. An image of a dragon breathing fire is behind the Fire Lord.

Agni Kai Arena
Another chamber holds an indoor Agni Kai arena complete with seating for large audience, used to settle disputes of the palace.

Gallery
The royal gallery of the palace is a hallway which contains tall, ornate family portraits of past Fire Lords, including those of Ozai, Azulon, and Sozin. There are bedrooms, guest rooms and even servant's quarters inside the enormous palace.

Royal Spa
One of the many rooms inside the Royal Palace, this spa area was a favorite of Princess Azula. She could often be found there getting her hair washed and nails manicured.

History
It is unknown when the Palace was built, however, the Palace has come under attack and has been partially rebuilt on at least one occasion.



The original Throne Room before Fire Lord Sozin was noticeable smaller than the current one. It was brighter and had more red and gold colors. However, Avatar Roku destroyed the original Throne Room with the Avatar State when he defended himself against an attack from Sozin. The current Throne Room was built afterwards.

The Palace was also intruded by Aang, who was seeking Fire Lord Ozai. However, Ozai was not at the palace.

The Palace is currently the home of the latest Fire Lord, Zuko.
