[edit] Description

The Palace of the Prophets was located in the city of Tanimura in the Old World. For thousands of years, it served as the home to the Sisters of the Light and Sisters of the Dark, housing Sisters, wizards in training, and Palace staff. It was created with a spell that slowed the aging process for those living within, enabling them to live for several hundred years. Approximately 11-14 years pass in the outside world before anyone living inside the Palace of the Prophets age 1 year.

The Palace of the Prophets was destroyed by Richard Rahl in Blood of the Fold in order to prevent it from being taken by Emperor Jagang.
