[edit] Description
[edit] History
According to prophecy, the Palace of the Prophets was a necessary loss for the best interests of the world. Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander, under Annalina Aldurren's direction, sets a Light Web down in the vaults of the Palace, but was unable to light it. Richard Rahl himself later did so and the Palace was destroyed.
After the destruction of the Palace of the Prophets, it was discovered that there was and always had been a central site burried underneath of it. It was here that the three Sisters of the Dark found the book Chainfire.
[edit] Bifurcated web
The Palace of the Prophets had a bifurcated web placed around it, which caused those who lived within it to age much slower than the average person. The web was placed by the wizards of long ago, who had the power of both Additive and Subtractive Magic. A person living at the Palace would age only one year for every ten or fifteen that passed outside the Palace. Wizard's Fire was banned on Halsband Island because of the bifurcated web, as it was feared that it could ignite the dangerous spell.
