The castle was completed at the time Her Imperial Highness, Princess Anactoria I was born--100 years ago.
It was built perfectly in the center of Venus, Terre de Conte's capital. Some say the castle exists to this day in the very center of the empire itself. An expansive, winding and curling grape orchard leads the way to the entrance. Before the structure is an arc of ornate black gates, with the imperial house's symbol woven into the dark bars. Beyond the gates is the courtyard, paved with aged marble walkways that feed through trees, stone pillars, and bursting fountains, up to the huge doors that mark the entrance of the castle itself.
Beyond the castle walls is the Roze Maze, a labyrinth of rose bushes that, especially when one is lost, sometimes seem to tower almost as tall as the castle itself. In the center and conclusion of the maze is a small, cagelike gazebo. Those who have made it say it to be a most romantic place.
The castle itself is a palace of many natures: in its stone corridors, both cracked, and echoing, and clacking, crisp, maintained; in its dusty underground floors and dizzily high towers; in the bright, musical and decorative ballroom, and the mysterious, unexplored very edges of the building that creak in the night. Sapphis Castle has always succeeded in housing as many guests as needed by some means or another, and some say that it subtly changes by its own will, sometimes to accommodate time and circumstance, whether by an old hallway that was thought to lead in a different direction, or a convenient room that nobody really noticed before.
