The central garden to your east is decorated with many statues, most
prominent is a large heroic portrait of Bernard Wencelas, the former great
palace emperor.  In his eyes, which glance away nervously toward the sky,
one can see the anxiety of a man who knows that he can do little if anything
to restore order to an out of control world.  The story behind Wencelas and
his tragic fall from grace has been documented in the Wencelas Chronicles,
which can be conveniently found in the basilica library.  The pathway
continues north to the Imperial Residence and south to the Atrium.
