Castle[]
At The Institute of Mars, the Castle of House Pluto is a subterranean fortress in the low mountains toward the western edge of the Institute's grounds, located just near the castle of House Vulcan.[1] Due to the colder climate and harder terrain, students of House Pluto wear more clothing and ride smaller horses.

House Pluto's castle was blitzed by House Vulcan on the third day after Vulcan got off to a prime start. Pluto wasn't unprepared, and the attack nearly destroyed them until Adrius au Augustus took charge and had his classmates retreat into the deep tunnels. Vulcan followed in with high tech weapons from their forges, but Adrius collapsed the tunnels to preserve his chances of winning the game with no plan and no way out, sealing both houses in the tunnels. The collapse killed ten House Pluto students, many of them highDrafts, with the MedBots unable to save anyone. The trapped students took a month to dig their way out, during which they cannibalized the dead to survive.[1] They were the final house to be defeated by Darrow's coalition.
