Two years ago I built a castle by the same name for the CCC, so
I decided to make sure they were distinct. I started out basing it on a motte and baily, but it sort of evolved it's own way as I kept going with it. I still think it's plausible as realistic however, and it's quite possibly my favorite castle of my own creation.
After seven years away from home Emperor Avitus and his soldiers have finally cornered the Black mage and the last of his orcs in the ruins of the city of Ardelia, when all of a sudden the cities gates open, revealing an unending horde of hellish soldiers. In a desperate attempt to close the gates of Fahadron (hell in my lego world) the Emperor and his cavalry charge the Black Mage, hoping his death will end this nightmare.
