Tiandao palace, located in Jixiang cheng near the Tiandao Mountain, was built 814 BCE under the order of an unknown Imperial Ruler. One of the many fortresses and palaces built for said ruler. Rumored to only be attended by himself only a single time, otherwise used as a reward for certain statesmen and guests of note to be enticed by the luxury in such a barren land. However, due to the absence of Imperial power, it fell into disuse. It was eventually converted into a temple monastery after extensive renovations due to the years of abandonment, for both Daolu and Si Sheng Di in roughly 200 CE. Today it serves as a place of pilgrimage and teachings that many across Ba Feng flock to. The current ruling warlord of the Clique is always invited to stay within its walls, but few have ever accepted the offer, preferring the safety of their own regions and fortresses.
