## History

*The Forgotten Period*Please note that the following content may contain assumptions as some of the information has been lost or forgotten.The castle was originally a suggestion made by josh20202. The location was decided when the Operators followed the river from Sam's Dragon Village to find a nice plains biome. The land was made flat to start building the castle.

When construction started, no one knew what they were doing, but they soon figured out what to do. The castle was made very big (or what seemed very big) and it was made with diamond and lapis blocks to give it a more Seacraft feel. Flags were positioned on the front two watch towers (north-eastern and north-western watch towers).

Inside, five thrones were created for the operators. Two larger ones were created for the owners and the smaller ones were for the other operators.

### The Upper Level

The exterior of the next level was built by jacobme32 and aa11ron (who are now known as RedThePokemaster and Sir\_Azza respectively). They constructed it out of diamond and lapis blocks.

zac5 then built the interior of this level. First, he constructed a huge light hanging from the ceiling. Then, he made the castle pool. Then he didn't come back to completing it for a long while. Eventually he made the dining area and the rooms for the operators if they ever wanted to stay at the castle. A while after that, he finally made the last room: the Castle Council area.

### Griefing History

The castle has been griefed multiple times. On the 22nd of March 2014, the castle was found griefed with signs placed saying 'sam did this'. zac5 believed that someone had attempted to frame samdogboy2. josh20202 thought it might have been a world-loading glitch, but zac5 denied it and thought that a sign saying 'sam did this' would be too much of a coincidence. The griefer was not successfully caught but did not succeed in banning samdogboy2.

Today, it is suspected that the castle was griefed by asasinateddoctor on the 20th of March 2014 due to investigation of the server's log files.

### Later History

It is believed that after the castle was first opened, it was closed again and reopened possibly during early Version 2.

When councils were established, zac5 decided that the council chambers of the Castle Council be built in the upper level of the castle, in an empty room at the time. While these council chambers were established, they remained empty throughout the rest of Seacraft's history.

## Trivia

* When the castle was originally made, the flags weren't made properly. This was picked up some time during Seacraft 2.2.
