Sigismund I the Old, after his ascension to the grand ducal throne, conducted his affairs in the palace as well as in Vilnius Cathedral. During the rule of Sigismund I the palace was greatly expanded to meet the new needs of the grand duke. Another wing was added, as well as a third floor, and the gardens were extended. By contemporary accounts the palace was worth 100,000 ducats.[5] The palace reconstruction plan was probably prepared by the Italian architect Bartolomeo Berrecci da Pontassieve, who also designed several other projects in the Kingdom of Poland. In this palace Sigismund the Old welcomed an emissary from the Holy Roman Empire, who introduced Sigismund to Bona Sforza, his second wife, in 1517.

Only a small portion of the walls up to the second floor in the eastern wing survived, that were sold to the Jewish merchant Abraham Schlossberg around 1800, who incorporated them into his house. After the November uprising of 1831, Schlossberg's house had been bought and taken over by Imperial Russian Army, which had presence in arsenals nearby. As Vilnius fortress was established, the building became part of the fortress, which by itself was surrounded by the ditch. The Schlossberg's house in 1840 Vilnius map is named as barracks (Polish: Koszary).[10] By the end of 19th century the fortress' ditch on former palace's site was covered with soil and turned into the city's park.

Grand Duke Hei (, Hei Daik) is the main villain of Ressha Sentai ToQger Returns: Super ToQ 7gou of Dreams armed with the Archduke Sabre ( Taik-kei Sberu).

Later, back in the future, he confronted Tank Top Shadow who he thought defected but shrugged it off quickly as he started to corrupt Zaram who he had captured sometime before. The following day, he and Tank Top Shadow confronted all eleven ToQgers and was unafraid of some unimaginative teenagers before he resurrected General Schwarz, Baron Nero, Madame Noir, and Marchioness Morc as his shadow puppets and thought it a fitting fate since they were the ones who banished him from the Shadow Line before. The adult ToQgers then stepped forward but they were powerless so he didn't care but they soon focused and re-discovered thier imagination which enabled them to change. He sent the Shadow Line leadership and Tank Top Shadow into battle but but the leadership was easily destroyed. He then leapt into battle with his Archduke Saber, managing to overwhelm all of them so Right tried to take him on alone but Hei held him off until Tank Top Shadow stepped in again and they both defeated Right with ease. He then cryptically referred to using his "greatest warrior" against them before he teleported himself and Tank Top Shadow away.

Later on, when the child ToQgers found the warehouse he was based out of, Grand Duke Hei confronted them with Tank Top Shadow and introduced the corrupted Zaram to them and revealed that he was the afore-mentioned "greatest warrior" before fully corrupting him into a mindless beast. However, once Tank Top Shadow accidentally de-corrupted him, Hei tried to bisect Akira only for Tank Top Shadow to take the hit for him which enraged Hei and prompted him to relentlessly impale the Shadow Monster with his Archduke Saber. He then asked if Zaram really wasn't going to join him but Akira corrected him on his name before turning into ToQ 6gou before the entire team went on the attack. Hei tried to hold them off but were just too many and a blast from both Right's ToQ Blaster and Akira's Yudo Breaker took him down. They then put their Blasters in sniper mode and combined that finisher with the Yudo Breaker's own energy blast to apparently kill Hei. However, he survived without a scratch and summoned his Kuliner which he then transformed into a Kuliner Robo. However, Wagon arrived in the Reesha with the adult ToQgers formed ToQ-DaiOh. The Kuliner Robo fired energy beams when it crossed its sword but ToQ-DaiOh was unfazed and overwhelmed it with its Shovel Crusher. They then destroyed his Kuliner with the Imagination Express attack but Hei was able to teleport away before it was destroyed.

The Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania was originally built in the 15th century for the rulers of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the future Kings of Poland. Now a museum, visitors to the palace can follow 4 routes inside the palace. Route 1 includes the surviving authentic walls as well as the rich collection of archaeological artefacts. Route 2 presents the stylistic development of the residence of the Lithuanian grand dukes through the Late Gothic, Renaissance and Early Baroque epochs. Route 3 shows the Lithuanian grand dukes' castle and palace fortifications and weapons collection and route 4 is the museum's exhibition centre.

Rastrelli's creation is no longer recognizable, the character of the park, which surrounds it, is entirely changed, while even the name "Mon Bijou" has, given place to that of the "Arsenal". Instead of the well-clipped avenues that stretched from the stone-lined canal with four-bridges, an English Park has grown up; the canal has been filled with earth and the bridges have been destroyed. Until quite recently, the Arsenal contained a rich collection of armor which was the pride of the Emperor Nicholas Pavlovich. This collection consisted of more than 5,000 articles and was arranged in both stories of the building as well as on the staircase. At the present time the collection is in the Imperial Hermitage in St. Petersburg. The Emperor Nicholas Pavlovich began to collect arms in 1811, being quite a youth. The Grand Duke Michael Pavlovich left his collection to his August Brother, and the Emperor Alexander II completed the collection. Here, besides the armor were a number of precious Eastern saddles; some articles which were & personal property of Napoleon I; a walking-stick with which the Empress Catherine the Great used to walk about the Tsarskoe Selo Parks; some trophies of the Hungarian war (transferred to the Hermitage in St. Petersburg in 1894) some trophies, taken during the Polish Insurrection (given to the Artillery Museum in St. Petersburg in 1907) and small collections of prehistoric and ethnographic objects (transferred in 1907 to the Museum of the Emperor Alexander III). On the 23rd of May 1842, a, knightly procession, in which 15 gentlemen and 15 ladies took part, left the Arsenal and rode toward the Alexander Palace. The gentlemen were in armor taken from the Arsenal and the ladies in dresses of the 16th century. The Emperor Nicholas Pavlovich and the Tsarevich Alexander Nicholaevich were clad in armor of the time of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian's era and the younger Grand Dukes were dressed as pages of the same epoch. The procession was headed by heralds with music - it rode round the park and came to the open space before the Alexander Palace, which had not yet been planted with lilac trees. Here was performed a, so-called carousel, consisting of quadrilles and other complicated movements on horse-back. A few years later at the wish of the Emperor, Horace Vernet embodied this "Knightly Festival" in a painting which is now at Gatchina. Before the collection of armor was transferred to the Imperial Hermitage at St. Petersburg, 20 veterans of the Guards were kept at the Arsenal. Some of them had taken part in the war of 1812, and were still living in 1860. The veterans took care of the Arsenal, and stood on duty in the Emperor's rooms in the Great Palace. At the present time, models of soldiers of all the cavalry regiments are kept at the arsenal. They are made of papier-mache, and represent officers and soldiers on horseback. All the details of their outfits are carried out with the greatest exactitude. Besides these models there are in both stories collections of glass and porcelain from the Imperial Factory. These collections are not listed and cannot be seen by the public. The hall of the Arsenal is strictly decorated in the Anglo-Gothic style.

Duke Eltan owned an enchanted suit of plate mail and a displacer cloak. He wore a girdle of frost giant strength and gauntlets of ogre power, greatly increasing his strength. He disdained the use of a shield, and preferred to bring a hammer of thunderbolts into combat, although he rarely used it. Other weapons in his arsenal included a frostbrand longsword,[5] a magical silver longsword, a magical silver dagger, as well as a telepathic short sword named Roan, which he was greatly attached to. Eltan wore a ring of absorption, a ring of anti-venom, a greenstone amulet, as well as a magical bracelet that allowed him to telepathically communicate with his senior officers.[3] ff782bc1db
