Castle Golubogo Drakona
The Castle of Golubogo Drakona was the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Golubogo Drakona.
“The Dukes were ahead of their time, in most eras. The only mistake they made was thinking they needed to fight all the time.” (Military Commander, Therialian Division, General Konatal)
Alterations
The first castle was made of local stone and wooden panelling. It was destroyed during a civil war with the Regis King about 300 years after being built. After peace was declared the Castle was planned to encompass modern defences, secret passages, dungeons and laboratories.
The 3rd, the final castle was built with ultramodern technology inside a medieval shell.
Architecture
Features of the castle included carved decorations said to have been saved from the original castle. They depicted a legend lost to time, but several experts have debated whether it was an elaborate fake created several centuries before the current era, or indeed the original. It is believed that the carved storyboard was originally painted in bright, bold colours, but this effect was long worn away before common memory.
Several secret passages led from certain rooms of the castle to outside locations. It is believed that some would have led to the homes of mistresses or lovers of the ancient Dukes or Duchesses. One or two were secret passages in case of evacuation, due to the many wars the Dukes participated in against the Crown.
In general, the castle had a solid, encouraging presence. The placement of highly visual turret cannons was impressive and gave a sense of confidence.
History
The Castle of Golubogo Drakona was said to have been built in prehistory. Legendary hero and brother to the first King of the Therialians, Broderick Regis was the first Duke of Golubogo Drakona.
The Dukes of Golubogo Drakona owned the Castle since it was constructed until the planet's destruction in 4020. Most had permanent residence in its walls. Most dukes were born in the castle. Prior to the Destruction of Therialia, it held great cultural and historical significance.
The Dukes of Gulbogo Drakona had a private art gallery and state of the art museum of artefacts. After the final destruction of the planet Therialia, the castle was destroyed with the rest of the planet. The artefacts were lost to history in the process, but digital copies had been made and were rescued.
The Dukes of Gulbogo Drakona are known for ancient wars with the other Households of Therialian aristocracy, the last civil war occuring in 3030 and lasting 5 years. Competition for the Throne was always the main motivation to fight against the Golden House, but so far the House of the Golden Dragon has maintained leadership over the millenia.
