The Legatus Domus is an hôtel particulier located at 21 Legionnaire in Telora. Since 1752, it has been the official residence of the ambassador of the Blackhelm Confederacy to Aquitayne. It is located near the Palace at Vernoir, the official residence of the King of Aquitayne, and is a few blocks away from the Camara Populii, the House of Parliament. It is roughly 1 kilometer away from the Confederate Embassy in Telora.

History

Work began on the building in 1718. The property was purchased by the Exponential governor of Aquitayne, Turcelius Adventus. It was designed by Aquitaynian-born architect Nubius Calligro in the Aquitaynian style. After Aquitayne gained its independence from the Empire of Exponent in 1742, the villa was seized by Augustus I. It was used as a retreat for Lady Aubergon for about five years before diplomatic relations were reinstated with the Empire, and the property was sold back to the Exponent for 300,000 ducats.
