Newton Castle

Newton Castle was relatively modest fortress located on the planet of MAC C. It was the centre of the Earldom of Newton and was resided in by Earl Newton. This castle had a relatively short-lived existence before being deliberately sighted by the Mac Guys during the reign of The PC Guy Empire.

## History

The castle's construction was overseen by the Mac Guys who occupied the Earldom of Newton, one of the Mac Earldoms, at the inception of The Mac Guy Empire. It played a central role as the administrative hub of the Earldom and served as the most substantial structure within the primary town of the Earldom. Additionally, it served as the official residence of Earl Newton. For approximately 20 years, the castle fulfilled these functions before being abandoned due to the fall of the Mac Earldoms. Following its abandonment, the castle fell into disrepair, with the inner timber administrative buildings collapsing, leaving behind only their foundations.

For a time, the castle was used as shelter by rogue Mac Guys. This continued until the Mac Guys who had assisted Seymour in Empire escaped from their prison and utilised barrels of gunpowder to destroy The First PC Guy Castle. Four surviving PC Guys then relocated to Newton Castle to set up a new base. However, their intentions were thwarted by the escaped Mac Guys, who worked with the kicked out rouge Mac Guys to intentionally destroy the castle, rendering it unusable.

## Description

Newton Castle had a relatively compact quadrangle shape, featuring a watchtower on each of its four corners and a solid D-shaped bastion along its longest wall. At its heart, a small mound supported a three-story round keep, which originally functioned as the residence of Earl Newton. Attached to many of the castle's walls were timber administrative buildings. The castle also included a well and a postern gate leading to a river within a small forest, which was the upper course of the River Performa.

By the time of PC Guy's Prison, the castle's structure had significantly deteriorated. One of the watchtowers had collapsed, and any timber components had rotted away. Following the explosive events in PC Guy's Prison, all of the castle's towers had shattered, and the outer wall had crumbled. It is likely that the castle remains in this dilapidated condition.

## Appearences

In PC Guy's Prison, Newton Castle briefly served as the base for four surviving PC Guys, most notably King PC Guy. These PC Guys had endured the earlier destruction within the series and had chosen to use Newton Castle as their stronghold. However, they were soon pursued by escaped Mac Guys who, in an effort to regain control, resorted to blowing up the castle. This forced the PC Guys to retreat back to the main Empire.

In The Adventure to Annihilate the PC and Linux Guy Empires For Good, the ruined castle's location became significant. It held a mysterious case that contained the second riddle required to find PC Plum's Carving in the Cave of Caerbannog within the Green Valley of the Southeastern Mountains. The castle was under the management of Big and Small, two antagonistic creatures, whose destruction was necessary to access the case.
