History
The history of the castle goes back decades, decades before the current emperor's accession to the throne. Originally built by the ancients as a refuge from the wild and often dangerous elements of the Boiling Isles, it eventually became a symbol of power and control. It has had many residents and rulers over the years, each with their own influence on the castle's design and legacy. The castle has seen many battles and disagreements that have shaped its resilience. The castle walls are said to echo with the whispers and shouts of the past, a testament to the countless conflicts it has witnessed.
But the castle is not only permeated with violence. It was a center of innovation and knowledge, with one of the largest libraries filled with spells, potions and history. Unfortunately, during the current emperor's regime, access to this library was restricted. Despite its imposing facade, the castle is not impregnable. Over the years, secret passageways and corridors have been involved in many robberies and escapes. However, her mainstay is charm and magic, which sustains her despite her many attacks.
The emperor's castle acts as a mirror of its inhabitants: strong, resilient and full of secrets. As the spirit of the monarchs who ruled from the great throne room, she remains an important part of the islands' history and future. With the constant change of power and struggle against the tyranny of the Emperor, the future of the castle is at the center of the House of Owl universe. Its great history can only promise an even greater role in the future, as it symbolizes both the struggle and the hope for the bones of the Boiling Isles.
