Great palace of ancient Persia
No Expiration
Calicut Adventurer's Guild
Apparently, there wasan empire in ancient Persia comparable to the Ottoman Empire. It was eventually destroyed by Alexander the Great, but an empire that large must have boasted an exquisite palace. I'd like you to go find it; you might want to start by talking to Hormuz.

1. Control from India to Egypt
If they were destroyed by Alexander, that must be the Archaemenid empire of Persia. It was the largest empire in about 500 B.C. I hear that the capital was inland from Basra. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a palace. If there is, it might be near Basra

2. No trace of a palace in the capital
Hahaha, i had the same thought, and searched everywhere in the spot thought to be the capital of the Archaemenid empire of Persia. I found clay tablets and ruins of houses, but no palace. Perhaps the cost of expeditions grew so much that they were unable to build a place. But it can't be known for sure without more investigating.

3. There's a place with a pillar
And old palace... Now that you mention it, if you travel inland from here toward Hormuz, there is a place where the rocks are lined up like pillars... I went near them one time, but the pillars were broken and rocks were fallen down... It was a little eerie. I dodn't think it looked anything like a palace, but it might be worth investigating?

4. Collapsed old stone pillar
I hear there is a place between Basra and Hormuz where half-fallen pillars are lined up. It's unclear if it's the ruins of a palace, but it might be related to the Archaemenid empire. Look for a place to go on shore and proceed inland to investigate
