Citadel

The Citadel (or the Daelaam Citadel) was a large structure in Talematros in which the Daelaam Hierarchy would convene.

History
The Citadel was constructed in the Daelaam capitol of Talematros. It was a large pyramidal structure that had a reflective alloy surface. It sat on a massive floating disc, that during the day levitated above the city, but at night would sit on the planet's surface.

It was here that Artanis made the decision to permanently become Hierarch of the Daelaam, leading the united protoss government. This was done after much debate, which nearly lead to the Hierarchy's collapse.

When Rosemary Dahl and Vartanil, a former Tal'darim, arrived on Shakuras through the warp gate in 2503, the meeting to decide what to do regarding Ulrezaj and the preserver Zamara was held in this citadel, with the various council members overlooking the arrivals.

In 2506, the Citadel was overtaken by the dark templar Taelus and four of his followers. They destroyed the citadel's security sentries and took down the Daelaam flag that hung over the temple, and replaced it with a Nerazim one. Tensions were high as Artanis ordered Executor Selendis to send a force of zealots to apprehend the insurgents, but Mohandar and Vorazun personally decided to intervene, attempting diplomacy. When it was clear Taelus wanted to die to spark a conflict between the two people, Vorazun and Mohandar personally fought them, nonlethally taking down Taelus's men, but not before Tealus killed Mohandar. Outraged, Vorazun fought Taelus and killed her former student. The Citadel was returned to Daelaam control without further incident.
