- Accessibility: The estate borders the Golden Forest on one side, a mountain on the other, and the ecumenopolis on the other two sides. On the side where the entrance is, it opens towards a part inhabited mainly by nobles, where there are many park areas, as well as other embassies. The place is otherwise surrounded by an energy fence, so unauthorised people cannot enter the area. There are two entrances to the estate, the main entrance and a back entrance. Both are constantly guarded by guards; one can enter the Golden Forest through the back entrance. A straight road leads from the main entrance to the palace. The area is closed, only residents or guests can enter, and even citizens of the Eternal Empire can enter if they have an appointment at the embassy, although they can only go to the embassy and everyone is accompanied by guards. Except for the embassy, it is a private area and the entrance is prohibited. Some people can come at any time, without an invitation, in addition to family members, such as Lord Cedric Grayson, Lord Pietro Demici, Lord Heinrich Faust and Lady Isla Draellix.
- Description: Gullna Höll is located in the middle of a beautiful wooded area. The palace is a huge building with an antique look that fits the area perfectly and also fits Ession in architectural style. The huge estate is surrounded by an energy fence so strangers can’t enter. The estate has a stream, a lake, a mountain and large green areas. Although it is right in the middle of civilization, if you don’t count the Golden Forest and the mountain on one side, it’s a beautiful refuge. The estate is big enough to go hiking and sports or riding. The lake and stream are suitable for stranding. The area is also surrounded by an energy fence and shield to protect those who live there. The estate is home to countless species of plants and animals, and for many it is a refuge, as Ession is an ecumenopolis. Despite its archaic appearance, the building is very modern, with state-of-the-art facilities, and there are plenty of personalised rooms inside the building; it makes it perfect for guests, but also perfect for long-term living here for Eina and Geiseric. In addition, the Embassy of the Eternal Empire is housed in this building on the planet.
- Royal residence: It occupies a fairly large part of the palace, which also has several baths and cave baths. The sleeping area is a huge large room with a large balcony that is located so that you can see the Golden Forest and the nearby mountains as well. From one part of the corridor of the apartment you can also see the main hall of the palace from a corridor with a railing. It occupies several floors and a large area. There is also a separate dining room and lounge. This section also includes a private medical department that is only responsible for the health of close family and friends. There is a larger gym in this area - for various fighting exercises such as a fencing room, shooting house, indoor training grounds with different terrains, etc. - a library and meditation rooms.
- Sanctum: There is also a small sanctum inside the building where Ashlan believers can pray and pay homage to the goddess every day.
- Guest residences: The castle can accommodate up to hundreds of people at a time. Unlike the Eternal Empire, these rooms are not as military and puritanical, rather, they are characterised by Terraris features, after all, the place is only a secondary embassy and much more the home of Gei and Eina.
- Secret corridors: The entire palace is full of secret passages and corridors that help with traffic and also function as escape routes if needed.
- Libraries: There are actually two, a huge private library that only family members can use, and there’s a public one as well. There are thousands upon thousands of ordinary archaic books in both, not to mention the myriad of books that are in digital form in libraries, probably numbering in the millions.
- Embassy Department: A separate section within the palace, where the embassy offices operate. They are on the side of the palace and on the ground floor, with a separate entrance and thoroughly separated from the residential parts of the palace. It’s big enough to keep meetings here or even get accommodation for a few people for a day or two if needed. A dozen diplomats and similar people work here and live in this part.
- Treasury: Various jewellery, documents, relics are kept in this place in addition to the highest security measures.
- Inside Garden: A huge interior evergreen garden with countless ecosystem vegetation even with a Netherworld area. Numerous rare and unique plants and flowers can also be found here, along with birds and smaller animals.
- Observatory: It is located on the side of the palace that does not face the city but the Golden Forest. It is equipped with the best observatory equipment.
- Hangars: The hangars of the palace, where the personal and military (imperial) vehicles are located. From a simple land vehicle to smaller spaceships, yachts.
- Server units: This is a fairly large area, home to any living staff, generators, warehouses, service tunnels as well as the server rooms, not to mention the security rooms, cleaning supplies, or kitchen storage.
- Barracks: Military personnel accommodation, training rooms and weapons rooms. They are located at several points in the palace, in case something happens somewhere, they can be there as soon as possible. Security rooms are also included in this section.
- Estate: The area is quite large and largely untouched by nature. In fact, these parts have recently been transformed into an area full of forest and meadows, because it used to be a city here. The northern area of the estate borders the Golden Forest, a direct road also leads to that part, although it is blocked by an energy fence. All of the boundary of the estate is closed in all directions by an energy fence. In front of it is a thick row of trees so that it cannot be seen. A road leads to the castle with flowers on the edge. This place is mostly grassy, but further afield are freshly planted forests. The forest is home to countless species of animals and birds. A stream flows through the estate, as does a larger lake. The area is great for sports or hiking, because it is really huge. The area is about 20 square kilometres (2,000 hectares), at the depths of which is the castle.
- Audience Hall and Ballroom: A palace also needs a hall where the Ambassador who is the Heiress of the Eternal Empire can receive guests, have dinners and balls. It’s a huge hall that can hold up to thousands of people for a ball. If a meal has to be held, they can still accommodate roughly 1,000-1,500 people. If they make the tables denser, they will do even more.
- Catacombs: In the underground parts of the palace is a huge catacomb system that stretches several levels deep into the ground. For the time being, there are only beautifully carved motifs and sculptures here, not actual graves.

The area is in a part of Ession that was quite deserted and ruined after Ashlan Crusade recaptured the planet. Another attractive part of the area was that it was adjacent to the Golden Forest. The place was bought not by the Eternal Empire but by House L'lerim, so essentially Terraris Command and Ingrid in person. This is why the place officially belongs to the House L'lerim.
Because the woman suspected that her daughter and Geiseric would not stay forever in the Netherworld, she wanted a home for her daughter where they could live. She knew the man didn't need anything because he didn't accept noble titles or other gifts either, but she wanted the best for Eina, so this is why the palace became the palace it is. Where everything is found and the place is similar to Eina's home in the Netherworld.
In the vast area, all existing buildings were demolished, a new green area was built here and into an area of nearly twenty square kilometres. New trees, plants, grass were planted, a whole ecosystem was built on the site, which became a beautiful green area in the area. Of course, the estate is fenced with an energy fence and there are trees around the fences so one can’t see inside. Tubrok Ragal was also involved in the design of the estate and the building because loves to deal with it and he love her step-daughter.
The building looks antique on the outside and fits better to Ession, although the interior is fully compliant with Terraris standard architecture. It has modern, practical and large spaces with large heights. The work was done entirely by the HPI Consortium and took about a year to complete the palace and estate.
Gullna Höll was completed a few months before Eina and Geiseric moved back from the Netherworld. In addition to being the palace of the couple, the official embassy of the Eternal Empire in the Ashlan Crusade is also located here, so in the language of diplomacy the estate belongs to the Eternal Empire and the Terraris Command, although the Eternal Empire is not officially counted; after all it is a family estate. It is another matter that it belongs to the imperial family of the Eternal Empire.
