The Story

As trade across distant waters began to flourish, the Lion Knights knew they could no longer rely on the mainland alone. The Island Castle was built to safeguard vital sea routes - a towering stronghold rising from the rocks, offering protection to merchant vessels and a watchful eye over the waves.

From its high battlements, lookouts stand guard day and night. From its stone harbour, swift patrol boats set out to deter raiders and ensure safe passage through the coastal channels. More than just a fortress, the Island Castle stands as a proud symbol of strength, vigilance, and the kingdom’s growing reach beyond its shores.

But new sails have been spotted on the horizon - black, tattered, and swift. An alliance once scattered is regrouping… they have no intention of letting the Lion Knights control the sea without a fight… and…they are already there…

The Design

Building on my original Series 7 creation, the all new Island Castle for Series 8 has been resigned from the ground up!

This version is packed with even more immersive features and intricate details, offering endless opportunities for storytelling and play:

Much larger main castle now over 5 floors and with an angled front section
New medieval structured armoury building on the top floor with removable roof
3 secret removable wall sections allows stealthy access into the castle
Redesigned and recoloured windows
New Wolfpack shelter on the beach
Reworked foliage throughout the island
New Lion Knight’s dungeon accessible through a trapdoor and hinged wall section
Removable top tower section
Refined rockwork throughout to increase stability
Redesigned front doorway and overhang section to give more prominence
A trapdoor atop the rock arch leads to a chute that descends through the rock face, all the way down to the beach
A thrilling zip wire beneath the rock arch provides a daring escape point from the dungeon
