Orc's Sinking Castle

67 comments
Long ago deep in a swamp an old order of knights built themselves a mighty castle. However, it was eventually abandoned and left to sink into the murky waters of the swamp. Most of the castle is now submerged never to be seen again and the remaining portions of the castle are now unstable and require rafts to go between the remaining towers. To anyone this castle seems like a hazard that should be avoided however, to the Orcs this feel just like home!

After the Orcs discovered the lonely castle, they modified and inhabited it making it again an ominous fortress. Bridges and docks were created to make navigating the castle a little less treacherous and even the Orc King and his wizard made the tallest tower their home!

At the front of the sinking castle is a watchtower that a lone Orc occupies who is kept warm by a campfire. To get to the main part of the castle there is a dock with a raft waiting to sail into the flooded courtyard. Here in the main fort, you can find the throne room, a gate house, an alchemy lab for a wizard and a tower that has a tree growing out of the top. The largest tower also is modular to allow easy access to the interior!

I made this set because I haven't seen too many ruined castles in the castle theme and thought this would be a unique way to display a castle. And because I didn't want the castle ruins to be empty, I decided the castle faction that would fit the setting the most would have been these Orcs that have become a fan favorite since they're debut.

This set includes 2987 pieces
5 minifigures including the King of the Orcs
And two crows
