Castle Wells

Today's update only has much to do with widening buffers around rail lines and building the launch computer at Hyde's Tower, so to keep you interested, another profile of a big, beautiful building in our world!

Castle Wells

Construction started 3 February 2011 by Awells

Principle construction completed 4 February 2011

In the aftermath of the Forest Fire on 29 January, there was a large plain on the south short of the landmass inside the Loop. Awells took advantage of this large space before it was replanted to build his own castle. The result was the single most visually impressive complex currently on the server.

The outer courtyard is home to no less than a dozen fountains, half of water, half of lava. The courtyard is lined with torches, making it extremely bright, even at night. The multiple layers of torches were added 3 March, as part of a reserve against the eventual replacement of torches with lanterns. Animals are commonly found to be roaming the courtyard of Castle Wells, sometimes ablaze from wandering into the lava fountains set into various places. Fences largely protect guests, but it is still very possible for the unwary to blunder into the magma.

Finally, the most remarkable part of the castle is the main hall. Water cascading over the glass roof provides its distinctive blue appearance. Inside, a large hall of specially built benches and table lay under golden chandeliers. It is by far the most elegant and largest hosting space available anywhere on the server at this time, and is not likely to be outstripped soon. The nine tables could theoretically seat fifty-four guests, and a raised stage at the west end of the room provides presentation space. Appropriate for weddings, funerals, and extremely expensive birthday parties.
