===The Memory Gardens=== | ===The Memory Gardens=== | ||
These cultivated acres of trees, greenery and floral art conceal an eerie memorial to the destroyed planet below - namely, the remnants of neural replicators salvaged from the casualties of the [[First War of the Ishvana]]. Unable to be repaired and replaced in clone bodies, the corrupted neural records were instead placed in ambulatory holographic projectors that wander the gardens. These projections are all that remains of the former residents of Song's surface. The resulting effect is ghostly, with the Gardens populated by translucent simulacra whose behaviors are often strange. There have been multiple debates about the ethics of such an act, with arguments about whether or not the simulacra are truly conscious, but most residents of the city prefer to preserve them. Despite its beauty, the Memory Gardens are a strange place, avoided by tourists and pleasure seekers. | These cultivated acres of trees, greenery and floral art conceal an eerie memorial to the destroyed planet below - namely, the remnants of neural replicators salvaged from the casualties of the [[First War of the Ishvana]].

===Subrosa Palace=== | |||
Called 'the Jewel of the Song', the Subrosa Palace has been recently restored after centuries of laying empty and abandoned. Constructed in the first century of the Song Dominion as the home of the civilian government, and was vacated at the command of the [[Lord Commander:Lord Emeritus]] Adyos Endatia, in favor of a greater focus on domestic security and the other challenges of the Restoration period. Today, it houses the Lord Commander ands its Cabinet Members, as well as embassies for each of the member races of the Song Dominion. | |||
