Over time castles decay; without maintenance, they will crumble back into the ground. Their condition will worsen from simple wear and tear and weathering, as well as from complications due to renovations or additions. Castles can also be assaulted - and more than one has been stomped to rubble by a raging monster. Good masonry work at regular intervals from a reputable merchant and his or her builders is the only way to ensure that your castle remains a bastion of safety. At present, castle decay due to time alone is suspended. This does not mean castles will not crumble at all! SEE ALSO: help castle descriptions, help spell masonry, help events list |
