Yes Yes Yes! The Black Falcon Knights have gained superpowers!

Three powerful wizards have joined forces with them and turned this massive castle into a centre of supernatural power. This impregnable dark fortress has formidable defenses both physical and magical.

About this model

The main castle bulding has five levels:

- basement: waterwell, larder, a hoard of treasure, shackles for prisoners, defensive pit against intruders, also watch out for the rat and the spider!

- level 1: stables with water for the horses, entry foyer and corridor, guards' room with table and bench, weapons rooms, most of these rooms have trapdoors to the basement, the middle weapons room trapdoors lead to certain capture for unwelcome visitors

- level 2: a map room with magical parrot, a magic wand storage and practice area, throne room for the highest ranking mage

- level 3: guard tower, magical force rooms with crystal balls

- level 4: wizard's towers and an enchanted stairway that summons all the magical powers from the lands

A drawbridge goes over the protective moat and leads to a small hill with a guard tower. The hill has another trapdoor leading to a weapons dungeon with rammed earth floor. Should the gate of the castle be attacked a few defenders can jump out and offer a nasty surprise to the invaders.

There is a slope leading from the hill to a forested area. A guard dog is standing here, dreaming about fishing from the moat.

Eight minifigures complete this set: four Wizards (one of them a lady), a Black Falcon Knight, two Black Falcon guards and a Secret Defender. There is also a horse for the knight.

What inspired me:

I love the original 2x4 bricks and tried to use basic parts to create a solid build that you could actually use in a real fight. We also needed a huge castle to provide a home to our stray medieval knights, soldiers and such minifigures. I am inspired by the new Castle sets and hope that many more bricklink and Ideas projects will feature this theme.
