Duncaroo

Duncaroo stands as a prominent castle and community located on the southern end of Blacknight Island, with its northern counterpart being the Blacknight Tower. Named after its founder, Duncaroo is a unique symbol of historical architecture and community living in Oldeshire.

The castle, originally known as “Good Castle,” was later renamed to honor its founder. Duncaroo's distinctive feature is its nearly perfect square formation, with each side stretching about 110 meters, encompassing the entire community within its robust walls. This architectural feat creates a sense of unity and security for its residents.

Duncaroo's main entrance is a majestic drawbridge, 18 meters in width and length, distinctively opening towards the ocean rather than a traditional moat. This design allows boats direct access to the castle, merging maritime functionality with medieval aesthetics.

Within the walls of Duncaroo, the community thrives with several smaller structures that contribute to its lively atmosphere. The castle grounds house 19 homes, offering comfortable living spaces for its inhabitants. At the heart of the community is a central clocktower, not just a symbol of time but also a landmark within the castle. Essential to the daily life in Duncaroo are the horse stable and a small farm. Adding to its charm is a market plaza, providing space for 7 vendors, and serving as a hub for trade and social interaction.

The architectural highlight of Duncaroo is the main castle tower situated in the northwest corner of the enclosed area. However, these towers were never fully completed, leaving much of the upper levels open to the skies.

A unique aspect of Duncaroo is the integration of modern transportation within this medieval setting. On the first floor of the castle towers is a small train station, providing access to the Nysa Line and connecting Duncaroo with other regions.
