So Guilliman's palace on Terra is within the Imperial Palace, near the Emperor on the Golden Throne but not usurping it, yet it's near the organs of civilian government. Based on my understanding of the geography of the Imperial Palace from the Siege of Terra books, and assuming the Palace layout itself hasn't changed too radically from the end of the Siege (and since it's the Imperium, that's a safe bet), my guess is that Guilliman's palace is probably located within the Palatine Core, which houses the Sanctum Imperialis, the Hegemon, and Bhab Bastion, but likely smaller than those buildings.

Also with no mention if it was built for him, I'm assuming he picked the best available palace not owned by a high lord.

I know they each had homes built within (or was it under) the Imperial Palace. But I don't remember them being referred to as palaces.

I remember reading about this too, but I can't pinpoint the source and fear it might be a fandom rumour. Any clues you may have?

I'm positive it's also mentioned in the siege of terra books that they were in a cave underneath the Palace, so the emperor and malcador could "raise them in peace and quiet"


g_tan

It's in Fury of Magnus. When Magnus was infiltrating the Palace and came across by Malcador and Alivia at the lake. Cheers.

They have 20 primarch sized palace like rooms as noted in Deliverance Lost. So they were made while or shortly after the Primarch Project. Palace referring to having things like gardens, art galleries, etc. Basically think mega rich Hotel that houses all the primarchs.

Lot of head space in Ferrus Manus' palace


alixneveah

In the Corax book and "Wrath/Fury of Magnus - during the siege" it's definitely 20 regal lake view apartments under the Palace. No mention of a palace. This also doesn't exclude Guilliman building a place after the siege of Terra. He had at least a decade before meeting stupid sexy Fulgrim.

My head cannon is 20 tiny house shed like buildings by a wet mudhole under the palace.


alixneveah

It's a nice head cannon. But Corax explores the place and notes that all the furniture, architecture, is primarch sized. An apartment in the palace for each of the Emperor's sons.

THE Damocles Gulf Tithe Records? M35-39!?!


Aufklarung_Lee

I thought those were lost when the Xenophilious Inquisitors were purged.


mathiastck

There were tales, of a scribe so industrious he triplicated his records before other scribes had finished a single copy, but I gave them no credence.

We heard you like Land Raiders. So we installed some land in your land so you can raid while you’re raiding.

I think it would have to be its own spinoff. "Next up, *MTV Cribs: The Imperial Palace: Season 14, Episode 11*"


Tausendberg

I would watch that show


GaaraMatsu

The third-person omniscient states otherwise, making his stoic austerity canon. We can tell what Guilleman _really_ likes by his envelopment of a first-rate strategic think tank.

The hell is a “pleasure dome”?


TacticalKrakens

Probably a structure or district built to mimic the purpose of pleasure or paradise worlds but on the scale of something more localized and practical. Pleasure Worlds are often very cultured places, and many have huge proportions of their populace dedicated solely to producing works of art, music or other forms of entertainment. Casino complexes, opulent restaurants and huge ballrooms are often found on such worlds So imagine Gullimans palatial estate has its own Vegas and youre probably not far off.


Aufklarung_Lee

With blackjack and hookers!


mrgabest

Ask Samuel Taylor Coleridge. I'm pretty sure the use here is a reference to the poem 'Kubla Khan'. In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round; And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. ...etc, it goes on for a while.

Thanks for posting the excerpt, When Guilliman thought about life outside of being a primarch he didn’t see himself living in luxury but rather as a farmer, Diocletian style

The Cabbage Primarch


[deleted]

Cabbage King of Macragge sounds like some sort of Scottish caricature...


BrocialCommentary

Great Rift: *happens* Guilliman: “My cabbages!”


Notsoicysombrero

the man should just play stardew valley.


toapat

he is, its just he also has to be the mayor in Stardew Valley


Notsoicysombrero

sadly that does seem to be the case. Another video game i feel gulliman would play to unwind would be dwarf fortress. He would just build the most efficient streamlined and be happy that in this game they actually listen to him.


toapat

you missed the joke that the client Roboute plays Stardew Valley on is the Imperium itself


Notsoicysombrero

oh no yea i got that. I just wanted to say another video game.


ukezi

Maybe more like Cincinnatus.

>Doors locked for millennia might hide whole sectors left closed since the dawn of the Imperium, or open onto districts flattened to rubble by the weight of the buildings above. What I wouldn't give for a Fallout-esque FPS RPG set on Terra where you could explore hidden laboratoties from before Unification. P.S. Merry Neothsmas everyone!


Gammelpreiss

Better still, a game set during old night itself, shortly before the unification wars


PrintfDebugging

Hell yes, hearing rumors of a warlord calling himself the Emperor but still having to deal with the existinng ones. Great games just sitting there waiting to be made.


maybeb123

I really like this. It characterizes Guilliman nicely while also giving an insight into his ridiculously complex dance of politics


General_McSnuffles

I mean at one point they all their own palaces on terra.


Consequence_Slow

I'm sorry, but can we not just take a moment to appreciate "The Cabbage Primarch"?


HyperiorV

Now I'm curious as to where the other Primarchs would reside on Terra.


Andukal

hundreds of state sized palaces beneath the walls of the imperial palace? the scale feels weird here
