Castle Sliberberg
Perched atop the mountain like a crown upon a monarch's brow, Castle Sliberberg's high white towers and red roofs embody the fairytale splendor of Sliberberg. This breathtaking fairytale castle is the residence of King Fredrick and Queen Aoibheann and houses vital government offices, including the chancellor's office and the exchequer's office.
Purpose / Function
The castle was built to serve as the capital and residence of King Fredrick Von Bergherz.
Architecture
Castle sliberberg is almost a stereotypical fairytale castle. It is a sculpted mass of white stone towers adorn with red tile roofs
Defenses
While not a functional castle by any definition of the word Castle Sliberberg is at the very top of the Sliber Berg and, as such is in a naturally defensible position. Furthermore the castle is only accessible by a single road with two gatehouses and guared by a parapet and the edges of the castle grounds are fortifeid to protect against any attempt to climb the 30ft+ tall clifts on all other sides of the castle.
History
The castle was built 420 years ago as a birthday gift for King Fredrick. However, it quickly became Fredrick's self-imposed prison and a source of heartbreak. As a child, Fredrick dreamed of building such a castle with his beloved Aoibheann, but its completion without her marked the beginning of his centuries of heartbreak. Isolated within its walls, Fredrick languished in grief, awaiting the return of his lost queen.
Recently the castle became a battleground as the SLiberberg resistance endevoured to remove Murtagh the Usurper from power and restore Fredrick to the royal seat.
