When are toral orbits in buildings the difference of fixed-sets?

Let $L$ be a $p$-adic field, let $G$ be a reductive group over $L$ (I'm even okay assuming semisimplicity for now). Let $T$ be a maximal torus of $G$. Let $B$ be the building for $G(L)$. (Edit 1: "...

Confusion regarding special parahoric subgroups of the unitary group

This question is to clarify some confusion about special parahoric subgroups of a unitary group $G = \mathrm U_n(F)$ in an odd number of variables, with respect to an unramified quadratic extension $E/...
