The High Elf Castle
Edgar's map reveals a 150-meter white cube fortress with seven above-ground floors, subterranean levels, separate ballrooms, staging rooms, dungeon, and secret entrance.
Story so far
The castle appears externally as a stark white square with four corner sentry towers and an empty moat, more monumental modernism than elven fantasy. Each side spans roughly 150 meters. Its southern entrance sits beneath a tall rocky cliff at the southeast edge of the map.
The crawler ballroom is on floor four, the hunter ballroom on floor two, and Queen Imogen's central throne room is on floor seven. The structure has three broad zones: crawler side, hunter side, and a central high-elf residential domain. Two assistant staging areas occupy the first floor beneath their respective ballrooms. Subsurface levels contain a dungeon and secret entrance.
As a country boss, Imogen should produce a stairwell when defeated. No ordinary town or stairwell is expected outside the southern exit, making control of the castle essential after the party.
