Swamp Palace

The palace was built to celebrate the success of Yellow Diamond’s colony and was a symbol of this achievement. A ball was even held there by Pink Diamond after construction was completed. It was the first more decorative structure built, following behind more functional structures like the Galaxy Warp and the Communication Hub. During its construction, not much consideration was given for the future of the area’s environmental changes. This area of flatland that hugged close to water would, overtime, flood and eventually transform into a swamp. This had already started to occur even before the colony’s abandonment, making it a less than desirable place to visit. The palace wouldn’t be able to be maintained in these developing harsh conditions which only increased the rate at which the palace fell into disrepair. The music box in which Melody Stone is imprisoned in was left behind there when the colony was abandoned along with a Yellow Spinel. The groups few and far between visits to the Palace have allowed Yellow Spinel to stay in hiding, utilizing her stretchy powers to do this.
