The Palace of August is the seat of the House of Arinidi and the primary residence of its Chancellor and head, currently Sylvester Arinidi I. The Palace is located on the border of the Telamonese, regional Kingdoms of Ferene and Antepec, both of which are controlled by the House of Arinidi. After the Arinidis gained control of Antepec and Ferene, upon the Torvellian and Leyalbi return to Solentia, the House commissioned four palaces to serve as their seats in their new kingdoms, August to be the most internally elaborate and the grounds the most expensive ever attempted in the House's history.
