The Court of Oren is the standing system of courtiers and councilors that reside within the imperial palace of the Holy Orenian Empire beside the ruling house, current the House of Novellen. The imperial court is a vital part of Orenian society and has been for centuries, being a hotspot for of cultural enterprise an the upkeep of high society. However, it is also a point of great controversy as the court has been a source of criticism since the Dawn of Oren for the pomp and exclusivity it exudes as a place of strict hierarchy between noble and commoner not found elsewhere. A strong court has been an integral part of a strong government since the times of the Horen Restoration, when the palace morphed into a center of activity, and a performance of power. Throughout orenian history, there have been countless court reformations, declines, scandals and etc, that have happened in the courts, with more recent periods seeing a stagnancy in the functions of court positions.

Present Day; The Augustine Court

The Imperial Augustine Palace, originally constructed by famous architect John Henry, Prince of Pruvia, though it often undergoes renovations with the interior and exterior, the most popular of which being the installation of a garden by HIH the Count of Aldersber, Joseph Leopold. Serving as the home of His Imperial Majesty and his family as well as the many noble courtiers he so graciously offers housing to, the palace is the crown jewel of Providence. Most importantly within the Augustine is His Majesty’s many courtiers, and staff that certainly keep the palace moving as it always has in allowing for a mark to be made on the Empire as a whole from within the pristine walls of the palace.
