The grand palace stood within a city situated to the southwest of Mount Tantiss on the world known as Wayland. Following the Dark Jedi's, Joruus C'baoth, murder of the Guardian of Mount Tantiss, the inhabitants of Wayland constructed a tomb for the Guardian's remains inside the palace. This tomb became filled with candles, with each candle representing an individual who paid their respects after the Guardian's passing. C'baoth later eliminated all of these visitors (save for Thrawn, Gilad Pellaeon, and Rukh).
