The Màrtainn Royal Graveyard, or informally (and incorrectly) the Suthar-Màrtainn Royal Graveyard, is a park and memorial space covering twelve and a half acres roughly thirty miles south of the city limit of [[Oirthidún]]. It is the grave site for most of the immediate royal family of the Kingdom of Fhainnlannachaeran and select retainers and extended family, containing a total of 2,342 full or partial sets of remains in numerous individual graves and crypts. The graves on-site are roughly arranged by time of death, extending southwards away from the former site of the Vermillion Palace, the family retreat of the royalty. | The Màrtainn Royal Graveyard, or informally (and incorrectly) the [[Kings of the Fhainn|Suthar-Màrtainn]] Royal Graveyard, is a park and memorial space covering twelve and a half acres roughly thirty miles south of the city limit of [[Oirthidún]].

The Vermillion Palace was looted and burned to a shell during the Fhainnin Civil War in 1906, with revolutionary forces trashing the site and defacing many of the graves on-site. Many of the remaining portions of the building remained recognizable enough to replicate, with the site being preserved, but ground was not broken to restore the Palace until 2025 due to both political sentiment and a lack of interest in the site as a major tourist attraction until the 2010s. | The Vermillion Palace was looted and burned to a shell during the [[Fhainnin Civil War]] in 1906, with revolutionary forces trashing the site and defacing many of the graves on-site.

A separate museum building dedicated to the Revolution was built from 1928-1929; it was later converted into a museum about general royal history and the site itself in 1952. Since 1952, 686 authenticated stolen items have been recovered or bought back by the national government, which are intended to be used to model replicas and later be used for the museum's collection as well as other historical museums. | A separate museum building dedicated to the Revolution was built from 1928-1929; it was later converted into a museum about general royal history and the site itself in 1952.
