Paneki's Disgrace relevant ability: Battle:You may discard a card from the current battlefield's province. Bow a target enemy card. Destroy it if it has no attachments, etc. etc.
Central Castle Text Reaction: After the resolution of an action that one of your personalities performed during battle for which you discarded a card due to its costs or effects: Draw a card.
So, do I get to draw a card with Central Castle if I discard something with Paneki's Disgrace? Or does Central Castle's ability referes only to Fate cards for some reason? Thanks!

See Glossary, Discard: As a verb "discard" means: 1. By itself, referring to a Fate card: To remove a card from one's hand and put it in the discard pile. 2. By itself, referring to a Dynasty card: To remove a card from one's Province and put it in the discard pile. 3. A card may also be discarded from other areas than the hand or Provinces, going to the discard pile, but this must be stated explicitly. See Areas of the Game. By default, the phrase "discard a card" has meaning 1, referring to discarding a Fate card from hand.
Thus, since Central Castle does not specify what sort of card is being discarded, it only covers the default of discarding a Fate card from your hand.
