Romulus au Raa Residence

Roofless rambling house in the shadow of a volcano on Io, with white plaster walls, vine-covered courtyard, fountain, and citrus trees.

The Romulus au Raa Residence, a roofless rambling house nestled in the shadow of a volcano on Io, stands as a striking emblem of Gold opulence with its white plaster walls, vine-covered courtyard, fountain, and citrus trees. Introduced in Morning Star, it serves as the private domain of Romulus au Raa, the Sovereign of the Rim, hosting pivotal diplomatic encounters amid the escalating Solar War. Though its role is confined to the third book, the residence underscores the volcanic tensions of Io and the strategic alliances forged within its serene yet shadowed confines.
