The Palace and The Estates in the London Sourcebook for Shadowrun (1st Edition)
America has no royalty.
Tumblr media
Officially, at least.
The whole point of the formation of the United States was to unshackle the Colonies from the Tyranny of King George.
Tumblr media
Whatever mate – this lad’s off to have some illegitimate children.
And while I understand the American worship of celebrity, I never got the deep obsession we have with the Royal Family. It’s not like we do this with other world Heads of State. It’s not like we go ape-drek over German Chancellor Angela Merkel in a bathing suit.
Tumblr media
Don’t be coy, Fräulein.
Maybe it’s because they don’t have any real legal power anymore? Gone are the days of the Divine Right of Kings, so the machinations of the Queen’s issue are just our longest running soap opera.
Tumblr media
Bob’s your uncle.
This continues to be true in 2052.

Of Ulm.
Travel along the Westway towards central London and off to your right you will see…
The Palaces
But one thing the Brits do well is tradition – the buildings now are the same as they were a thousand years ago and will continue to be that way far into the future. Seriously, check out old these building are:
Palace of Whitehall – 1240 CE (official residence of the Prime Minister and Chancellor)
Palace of Westminster – 1016 CE (host to the two houses of Parliament)
Buckingham Palace – 1703 CE (the wet behind the years one and His Royal Majesty’s residence)
St James’s Palace – 1531 CE (technically a royal residence, no one lives there now)
The Estates
Wedged between the Palaces and Westway are the Estates – posh neighborhoods known for their royal residents. Even with a Luxury lifestyle – shadowrunners certainly ain’t livin’ here.
