- The castle has many floors and white walls. Outwardly it has a very old fashioned style as it's owner is a traditionalist. Internally it has stone and wooden floors and is built like a medieval castle, but within the walls and behind panels are all the latest gadgets and tech for fine living.
- The Castle is surrounded by a high stone wall with a laser barrier that can be extended further but is usually deactivated. The wall has hidden cameras set in to it which can project images onto the inside surface of the wall, making it appear transparent from the inside direction.

After the capture of Lur, the local populace, happy to be free of the Sith gifted the Ashlans with land.
This land was used by Isla Draellix to build a mountain home, somewhere for her to call her own away from the front lines. She loved the freshness and the clean air of the planet so her castle was built to blend into the local environment.
Lur is an ice world and the temperature in the summer rises only a few degrees into the positive, with winter temperatures as low as negative twenty. The Castle is built to handle these conditions and protect its occupants, allowing them to enjoy the beautiful and pollution free surroundings without freezing.
The castle has brought wealth t the nearby town, many of the staff live there and it is considered one of the best employers locally. Isla ensures people are paid well, to ensure their happiness and to also prevent the locals having any desire to ever turn on her, she wants this to feel like her home, not a prison, and wishes to be able to walk the streets safely with other locals.
