The Dvorets Materi, or "Castle of the Mother," was begun by Helga Mikhailovna in 750 IR as an extension of the Firehall, which is built around Rurik's Pyre in Medvedgorod, Medved Oblast, Matriarchate of Periaslavl.

Over the centuries, each Great Mother has added on to the Dvorets Materi. It now boasts one of the largest libraries in Periaslavl, a huge scriptorium, a well-equipped training area for vestniki, and living quarters for the Great Mothers, Great Daughters, and Great Husbands, not to mention those for many officials and servants, including the seneschal. It also has storerooms, smithies, stables, and many other needed facilities.

It is also extremely well-fortified, boasting thick stone walls and a large garrison. There is always at least one troop of troop of pomestniki based in the castle, with stables and barracks sufficient to house up to four. It also has barracks set aside for up to five hundred castle guards. These guards are all well-trained, and are often experienced pomestniki in their own right. In times of crisis, many more could be housed within the walls.
