Domanada Castle
Briefly
Domanada Castle is found in the center of Doma City, Doma, and is the seat of the nation's government. Home to numerous important figures involved with the country's affairs, it is known to be very heavily defended, a direct reaction to numerous attacks in the recent past. The most significant defenses include an anti-teleportation barrier coupled with a well-trained and vigilant guard. The castle is home to the guard barracks, the dungeons, many of the nation's records, and numerous other things.
Getting into the castle legally can be a slow process. Generally, a petition is left at the gate and reviewed by the Chancellor of Approval that evening. If approved, an appointment for whatever the petitioner requires is set up. A petitioner may ask to see someone immediately; if the guards at the gate deem it a good enough reason, a page will be sent to ask the person in question for their time. Castle personal are issued passes; not even the king himself may enter without it--they've dealt with doppelgangers before.
MUSH description
Domanada <Ca>stle, Gates(#73Rn):
Located in the center of Doma City, Doma, is the home of the royal Domanada family. There is an ongoing joke about there being many guards in the castle, but it is a fact that the castle has much stricter security these days than it has had in the past, before some rather unfortunate...security issues.
You find yourself at the gates of the castle. The walls look to be rather thick and made of granite. Had one the means of finding such things out, they are also reinforced with both steel and a spell of some sort. Two doors of rather impressive size and artisanship lay within an archway behind a portcullis. There is a guardstation here and, in fact, many guardsmen ready to address relevant issues as they arise.
