The Glittering Citadel is a massive fortress-manse overlooking the harbour at Vatamu in the Scarlet Prefecture, from the shore cliffs rising at the city’s northern end. It is an air-aspected manse of extreme power, whose potency is known to military minds across the Isle, and the Scavenger Lands as well. Its towering main gate houses a mechanism beyond the savants of the present age, which causes the anima of any Exalt passing through to project out in a massive display above the gate... no known method of stealth, mundane or magical, can subvert this security mechanism.

The Glittering Citadel is also known for its massive Lightning Lens, which focuses a huge bolt of electricity against targets across the length of the Imperial River bay. As the Threshold states well know, any fleet to approach the Blessed Isle close to Vatamu would be torn asunder by the blasts of this mighty weapon.

The Glittering Citadel is not a lighthouse, but is named for its ten thousand windows, each lit by a lantern of coloured glass, which sparkle brightly through the dark of night.

It has long served as headquarters of the 2nd Imperial Legion.
