The palace of the satrap serves not only as a residence, but also as the center of Radz-at-Han's government. Meaning "cloud messenger” in the old Arkasodara tongue, Meghaduta was built at the summit of a rocky megalith, its great doors admitting an endless stream of servants, petitioners, and official visitors.

— Encyclopædia Eorzea Volume III, p. 139

Meghaduta is a landmark in Dharma, Radz-at-Han. It is the home of the satrap, and Radz-at-Han's government.
