Castle Teinithrah

The castle sits upon raised rock, tucked away in a corner of Yannetar and is the home of the Drow royals of the region. There’s one way into the castle, a wide twisting path always heavily guarded.

Defences

There are many guard stations along the main pathway, where the drow soldiers are armed with long-range bows with obsidian arrows in addition to the finest adamantine blades. In addition to this several machines similar to a ballista are built into the walls to fire devastatingly large bolts at intruders or attackers.
The building itself is protected by a magical force field which glows with a very faint green hue, the enchantments are cast daily and with different casters to ensure no gaps in the protection. Only those with Teinithrah Crest may pass through the barrier unharmed but it does let matter pass regardless. A magical wall surrounds the rocky platform which the castle sits on, solid matter is not able to pass through the wall.
Inside the castle, the guards are all trained to the highest caliber and are some of the finest warriors the city has to offer. Guards are very often interchanged between castle duty and frontline duty and the nature of this arrangement means the faces change all the time.

Slaves

Some quaggoths are trained from a young age to serve the drow, mostly with tasks they are too lazy to do themselves or tasks they consider boring such as transporting goods from one place to another, lifting or moving heavy objects or dealing with small trivial issues.
There are a few prized slaves of the human/elf/dwarf persuasion among the drow with elves usually taking the highest level of achievement, the elves taken as captives do not usually last long as slaves and suffer an incredible amount of abuse.
