Meghaduta
“The palace of the satrap serves not only as a residence, but also as the center of Radz–at–Han's government. Meaning “cloud messenger” in the old Arkasodara tongue, Meghaduta was built at the summit of a rocky megalith, its great doors admitting an endless stream of servants, petitioners, and official visitors.
Meghaduta is a landmark in Dharma, Radz-at-Han. It is the home of the satrap, and Radz-at-Han's government.
Additional Information
Only the entrance room to Meghaduta is accessible to be explored outside of cutscenes. Through cutscenes, the building is implied to be much bigger than it appears on the map, with scenes taking place in various inaccessible rooms, such as a throne room and guest quarters.
Trivia
Meghadūta translates to Cloud Messenger in Sanskrit, which is the same as the old Arkasodara translation.[1][2] Meghadūta is also a lyric poem written by the famous Sanskrit poet, Kālidāsa. The poem tells the story of a benevolent nature spirit that has been banished to an isolated mountain top, and asks a cloud to deliver a loving message to his wife.[1][3][4]
