The House of Fluffian Horde is the current Monarchical branch of royal family palaces of the Federal Howlton Republics. Its existence as the official Royal house can be traced all the way back to the year 113, during the transition from the Shogunate.
The current main territory of the House of Fluffian Horde is located in the Palace of the Federation, Howlton Boulevard, Howlton City. It is located on the other end of the Howlton Boulevard, 2km away from the Federal Parliament Building, which houses the central Federal Government, Congress and the Republics’ Union House.
Other territories of the House of the Fluffian Horde include a location in Berlin, Kyiv, and historically, Zagreb.
All territories under the House of Fluffian Horde are owned by the Federation. Like all Federal-owned land, a special permit is required for entry.
The main Palace in Howlton City has been the focal point for the Howt Peoples at times of rejoice and mourning, such as Independence Day, Victory Day and the international Magnya Ullisca Day.
Main Building
Known as the Fluffian Royal Palace Museum before 2024, the main building today stands on the soil of the original palace ordered for construction by the 8th Kaiser, Empress Zacia I (the great-great granddaughter of the Legendary Kaiser Wolfgang I, founder of Howlington City (present day Howlton City)) in 448, alongside the Federal Parliament Building around the same time.
By then, it was the 3rd branch of the Palace to be built, with the others in Zagreb being the first and Kyiv being the second.
The site of the main building had grown to an extensive site, covering around 1sqkm by 1880. After the abdication of Kaiser Freudlich Fischer VII in 1899, most of the buildings were demolished and turned eventually into concentration camps, with the largest and original building being dilapidated and run-down. Any damages to the building were neglected by the Flufflesian Government, seeing it as a “dark age history to never forget and never forgive”.
The same treatment was given to the site in Berlin, with Zagreb’s site being already a ruined site ever since Barkand took over in the 1510 Treaty of Reikavik.
By 1945, after the FHR was recognised as a country, the palace was slowly rebuilt under the secret guidance of Kaiser Freudlich Fischer, and his son, Prince Ilyas Fischer, who was 18 at that time.
The complete reconstruction of the buildings finished in 1966, turning it into a historic museum under Ilyas’ son, Ilyas Fischer II.
The site remained a historical museum until 2024, during the restoration of the monarchy, with Slash Barker, the granddaughter of Ilyas Fischer II, being sworn in as the new Kaiser. The museum was then changed directly to the Residence of the monarchy, alongside Berlin and Kyiv’s sites.
Zagreb
Zagreb’s site is currently a historical Royal Museum. The 0.3sqkm site sits the main museum building, reconstructed to the original Shogunate building, well known for its architectural prowess during the Elemental Era (Before Common Era). The building is surrounded by remnants of the rest of the palace from the Fluffian Horde.
Zagreb’s Royal Building was used less and less due to consistent raids from Barkand during the early Common Era years. Even after the dissolution of Bark-Howt, the palace, which once served as a political home as well, was constantly under siege by Bark forces. During the treaty of Reikavik, the palace was officially annexed by Barkand, which destroyed the entire site, including the main palace building. In prior annexations, sovereignty of the royal site was still given to the Fluffian Horde out of goodwill.
After Zagreb was given back to Flufflesia in 1937, the palace ruins continued to receive neglective treatment, with the whole site even being barricaded off in a 500-metre exclusion zone. Since then, local, Pro-Howlton groups began illegal restoration of the site, which was promptly burnt down after 2 years of efforts.
After the FHR retook over Zagreb, a 36.2 billion dollar project to reconstruct the original site (before the Barkand annexation in 1510) was proposed, but failed due to the 1981 Global Financial Crisis. The project was then scaled down to a restoration project of whatever remained, and the construction of the museum which stands today. The museum’s construction was stalled due to the 4th Arc War, with the museum opening in 2015. The entire project took $83.6 billion, the most expensive restoration project in the world today.
Kyiv (And historical Palace Summer House in Lviv)
The Royal House in Kyiv was the 2nd location. Begun construction in 156CE, the new palace marked the first ever major solidification of Fluffian Horde’s territorial expansion. As the Kyiv Royal House expanded, it never took over as the main Royal House building, rather, it served as the location, mainly for foreign affairs and territorial expansion.
The main building was destroyed by Flufflesian troops after the abdication of the throne in 1899, with the rest of the buildings repurposed for the local Kyiv government.
The site in Kyiv was the best preserved royal residence after Arc War 3, as the Flufflesian troops were too busy fighting the Flufflesian Civil War, and were still using the historic buildings for the then-federal government.
From 1945 to 1969, the buildings remained intact, housing the Flufflesian Government until its eventual collapse.
After the FHR took over in 1969, immediate reconstruction of the destroyed building began, completing in 1977, which stands today.
Around 840 CE, a royal summer house was ordered to be constructed in Lviv. Eventually, the house was forgotten by the Monarchy and was left to wither and rot on its own until a rediscovery of an old paper in 1649 denoting the existence of the summer house. Today, the summer house stands as a museum for the entire royal family of the Fluffian Horde.
Berlin
The largest site to date was built in Berlin, Germany due to the large German heritage of the Kaisers. It was the alternate, secondary site which functioned more as a housing for Kaisers to reside and retire, as well as upbringings of future Kaisers. The only Kaiser to have broken the tradition of being raised in the Berlin site is Slash, as she grew up in the capital city, Howlton City.
The Berlin site was built in 1300, as a last fortification and solidification of the expansion of the Fluffian Horde. Since then, various major upgrading projects followed in the centuries, making it the largest site today, covering 2.1 sqkm.
The Berlin site was largely untouched until the 4th Arc War, where a significant portion went up in flames during the Battle of Berlin in 1991. Currently, restoration and reconstruction is still ongoing, with most of the buildings nearing completion. The full site is expected to be reused by 2029.
