## History

The First PC Guy Castle was destroyed by Kion in The Adventure to Destroy the Empire of the PC Guys. During The Adventure to Destroy Linux Guy5313, King PC Guy, and some other surviving PC Guys decided build a replacement. Due to the escape or death of all the human prisoners, the PC Guys decided they could clone more of themselves by using The Witch to fix The Copy and Paste Machenes faster than they could round up the escaped prisoners and collect new ones to replace the fatalities. The castle was therefore built by PC Guys. Construction started during The Adventure to Destroy The Lion's Heart Stone. It was begun in the autumn of 2017 and was completed at the start of 2018. It was so heavily expanded at the end of 2018, it ceased being the PC Guy Castle and was renamed to The Non Apple Castle, before being renamed again to The Apple Castle.

## Description

It was in the shape of a hexagon, with towers also being hexagon shaped. The most important turrets were smaller hexagons, with the remaining turrets being circular. The castle was a concentric plan, with one set of walls inside another. The main tower was inside another set of walls. The castle was designed so that Knight PC Guys standing on one part of the castle, can shoot over the part that is further out and so on. The main domestic buildings were located on the inner face of the inner walls. Two gatehouses marked the entrances to the outer walls, and a further two marked the entrances to the inner walls. A small dry Mac Guy trapping ditch surrounded the castle. Towers were placed in regular intervals across both the inner and outer set of walls. Stair turrets were also added to the domestic buildings. The main tower was accessible by the first floor only and had its own drawbridge and gate.

## Construction

The castle used traditional buildings methods with modern additions. The entire building started on bedrock, providing a stable foundation. The castle was solid until eight metres below ground. This was the location of a vaulted basement. The ground floor, except the towers and gatehouses, was also vaulted meaning these floors of the basement, ground floor and first floor were stone. The castle had eight elevators, which are simply disks of metal placed on pillars that moved up and down. The walls consisted of a cut stone facing on all visible sides with a rubble infill. The walls were reinforced with stainless steel rods making this castle significantly stronger than its predecessors. All non stone floors were made from spruce, as was the roof. Roofs of the towers and gatehouses are made of reinforced concrete. No birch was used in the construction.

## Gatehouses

The gatehouses were two 4 storey structures that contained the way into the inner courtyard of the castle. They each contained an 8 metre high, 30 metre long entrance passageway that contained a drawbridge 3 portcullises, 2 sets of doors, 2 arrow slits and multiple murder holes. The ground floor contained guard chambers and weapon stores, the remaining floors contained accommodation suites. Chef PC Guys and Constable PC Guys lived in the gatehouse to the north and Caretaker and Mason PC Guys live in the gatehouse to the south.

## Inner Towers

The inner wall circuit contained 6 large towers, each larger in size then the King PC Guy Tower of The First PC Guy Castle. They were situated in each corner of the hexagon shape of the inner walls. The roof of these towers was 32 metres above ground level and the walls were 6 metres thick and heavily reinforced. Each tower is exclusively owned and lived in by one Earl PC Guy. The accommodation consisted of a public hall, a private hall, an office and a bedchamber. Knight PC Guys walked through the towers to get between wall walls.

## The King PC Guy Tower

This tower formed the tallest part of the castle, acting as the hub and residence of King PC Guy. The roof of this building was 72 metres above ground level, making all castles on earth tiny by comparison. If the castle was ever be taken, the tower could act independently due to its heavily fortified entrance that was 8 metres above ground level. Access to this entrance is via one of two grand stair turrets and across a drawbridge. The stairs were situated in the centre of the tower in a stair turret that rose an additional 30 metres above the roof. From the top of this turret, the entire PC Guy Empire up to The Inner Border Fence as well as the Sunrise Mountains and The Robbie Rotten Fortress were visible. There were 500 steps to this point. Rooms in the tower included a staff room, an office, a throne room, a PC displaying room, a plotting room, a public hall, a private hall, a bedchamber and a viewing room.

## The Domestic Building

This less defensive part of the castle contained most of the castle's floorspace. It's inner set of walls contained the windows for the building and the outer set of walls is shared with the defensible inner wall circuit. It was notable for containing The PC Room, a room that contained one of every type of PC in the lineup of PC Guy's PCs. It was the third largest room in the empire and also had a tall bay window that housed The Most Powerful PC in the Universe. On the opposite side was The Great Hall, a room used for the most important meetings and events. Both of these rooms had a maximum height of 24 metres. Eight 42 metre tall stair turrets linked the floors, along with eight additional elevators. The basement contained the PC Store Rooms, which housed all the PCs and PC Parts made in The PC Part Factory. The ground floor contained The PC Guy Prison, a prison large enough for 3072 prisoners at 12 per cell. The first floor contained offices and other important rooms for running the empire and the top floor was home to all 60 of the Baron PC Guys. Each apartment for the Baron PC Guys contained six small rooms; a reception room, an office, a store room, a hall, a chamber and a bathroom. These apartments were split into 2 smaller floors making each apartment take up the main third floor and a mezzanine.

## The Outer Defenses

The outer walls and towers were rarely visited by anyone other than Knight PC Guys who patrolled the walls looking for escaped Mac Guys. The outer wall circuit was completely separate from the main castle and was built to more normal proportions. The walls were 16 metres tall without battlements, and 18 metres with. The wall had towers placed throughout and two gatehouses directly in front of the main gatehouses. Each outer gatehouse contained a drawbridge, 3 doors and 2 portcullises. The towers and gatehouses were 3 storeys and contained all the living accommodation for Knight PC Guys.
