The Domed Palace
The Domed Palace is the center of power for the Green Dragon Empire. It is not quite the seat of governance, but rather, it is a place where the Emerald Line dwells when not performing some important functions for the empire. The Silent Guard stand watch at the entrances and exits in green powered armor resembling the visage of a dragon. The staff is reportedly nearly all automatons who to ensure that none of the secrets of the castle can be leaked by civilian workers coming and going from the castle.
The Domed Palace has imposed a cap on the surrounding city, limiting them to a meager 5 floors high to allow the home of the Emerald Line unchallenged sovereignty over the sky. For nearly 30 miles in all directions of the palace, the city seems limited to small hospitality outfits and businesses to service these outfits.
Purpose / Function
The Domed Palace separates the Emerald Line from the common dregs of the Crowned City, Elmesh, and the galaxy at large. Even the nobles and people of high status that make the empire run have a hard time gaining an audience at the foot of the palace. Only being permitted to a designated dozen or so rooms to petition those that stand heighest in the Emerald Dragon's empire.
Architecture
Dominating the skyscape for 50 miles around it, this dome is made up of countless hexes composed haul glass. It stands hundreds of feet high and is hundreds of hectare wide. Underneath this dome is a multi terraced artificial mountain of a complex with Four Gates. The most famous two of which are the Petitioner's Gate from the West, and the Untried Gate to the East. The other two gates aren't for common traffic, the one to the southwest only opening for a train rail, the one to the northwest being tied to a small aircraft pad.
There are no less than nine terraces within the wider complex of the Domed Palace. Each Terrace is separated from the others by a wall no less than 60 ft. high and the first three seem to function as battlements, being only 40 ft wide till the fourth terrace
