</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Dawn Royal Palace was partially redecorated for the tour. The King and Queen are on a long journey and it is not know when they will return. Prince Riain, their son, lives and works within the Kingdom.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">
</p> <p class="MsoNormal">
</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Grandfathered Mining Houses ... You will notice there is no space between the houses, and there is an anvil and forge outside.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">
