The platforms are where the Lonetrains arrive and leave from the imperial city. From the outside, as one approaches the Royal City, one can only see a massive bronze dome. The enormous structure shelters the platform from the eternal blizzard and it is made out of an iron skeleton covered in panels of metal laced glass. The glace is opaque but resistance, while letting some light shine through. At the bottom of the gigantic dome are four openings which let the trains in, as well as some locomotives faced outwards, to which the trains are connected in order to leave the station. Once a Lonetrain crosses the arches, they are greeted by the magnificent sight of the Queen's Gate. A crescent wall of ancient red brick, decorated stained glass windows depicting the history of the royal city. On either side of the wall stand two massive colossi, 10 times the height of a man each. The one of the right, Queen Kateryn, the Queen of Daguerre 100 years ago, when the long winter started. She was the one who had the Royal City built, and first one to seat upon its stone throne. On the left stands Leonard Saye, first Lord Protector who defended the city from the hordes of desperate Majai that attempted to take it nearly 15 years into the Winter. The two titans greet those who would come into the city and pass through the Queen's gate into the Grand Hall.
