Catoptron Castle is a historical castle on the southeastern side of Arbemaisonnes, the capital of King's Federation. It is associated with the urban legend of the Lady of Catoptron Castle ghost. The castle is also home to the Circuit Catoptron RSF track.

Geography

Catoptron Castle is located in the Corridor Oriental county of the Arbemaisonnes Capital Province. The castle lies southeast of Arbemaisonnes's historical city center. Both are connected through pathways that extends to Kiwimango further south. The castle is neighbored by Voyaberge Inn and a small tower to the north. The castle, as well as its surroundings, are the only places in Arbemaisonnes with a snowy climate, the only ones with a consistent snowfall, and the only ones with a permanent midnight. Upon a player's visit to the Castle's area, a large blackletter-scripted greeting flag would appear:

Structures

Catoptron Castle is roughly divided by two wings: north and south. There are approximately nine functional towers around the castle; five is situated in the north wing, two between the north and south wings, and two in the north wing. The castle houses Circuit Catoptron, one of the two RSF tracks in Arbemaisonnes, with its track line including parts of both wings and southern outdoors. The castle also features a dungeon.

North wing

The north wing features a keep (central tower) with an approximate height of 110.25 blocks. The wing also functions as the main entrance, with a forecourt on its east side. Its entrance leads to the eastern entrance hall, which acts as the main hall of the castle, as well as the start line of Circuit Catoptron. There is also an access on the northern part of the wing. Other rooms on the first and second floor include a small gallery and an armory.

The northwestern tower serves as a main access to the third floor and above, as well as being included within Circuit Catoptron's track. The third floor features a large ballroom, situated above the eastern entrance hall and equipped with a large organ. The floor also has a prayer room with bookshelves for books of Bible verses. There is a lectern showcasing a book quoting Leviticus 26: 14-39. The room also stores a candle stand and a skull with shattered blood-like redstone powder.

South wing

The south wing includes another forecourt and an entrance hall, both smaller in size, but higher by two floor levels than its north wing counterparts. The wing also features a pair of dining halls, connected through a kitchen. The larger dining hall is equipped with a living room corner, a grand piano, and a library corner Other rooms in the south wing's first and second floors include a large gallery and a library, while its third and fourth floors include an indoor garden and a magi room.

Dungeon

As of early 2026, the dungeon mostly remains a large empty space beneath the castle; there has been no established floor levels and prison cells. However, there are some exceptions: there is an underground canal dock room and an adjacent Taiatea store beneath and connected to the castle's south wing. The dock's canal entrance is located west of the dock room.

Outdoors

The outdoors of the castle are mostly filled with snowy spruce trees. Pathways circle the castle, with outward access from the northern and southern parts of the castle's complex. A small, two-level dock house, as well as a Kettu Live-operated Cooking With Zalidia show set is situated east of the castle (the latter not being a part of the castle's complex). On the castle's south, there is a still depiction of an "ice-frozen sheriff" along with two other figures. Other structures include a wooden arch and a ring hoop for the castle's RSF track.

Circuit Catoptron

Circuit Catoptron is a registered RSF track. Unlike some RSF tracks with their own unique structures, the track utilizes existing parts of the castle and its surroundings. The track starts on the castle's main entrance; it then goes north to the northwestern tower of the north wing, circling the interior while raising the floor level by one. After that, it goes eastward and briefly passes the castle's prayer room before going south. The track then turns east again, leading into the castle's interior garden. Past the garden, the track goes slightly westward before circling stairs. The track continues on the castle's south wing roof; it goes southeast before encountering a small stone arch and then a large wooden ring hoop. Its route bends east afterwards, passing through a wooden arch. The route then goes northeast before moving back indoors to a library. It then goes west, then north before arriving back at its start line.

The castle area is listed in WorldGuard as "Dreamcastle". Zalidia is recorded as its owner, with no additional members. Before the castle was named Catoptron in-game, other suggested names include Candescence Keep and Kapiolani, with the latter referring to a song by the Japanese jazz fusion band Casiopea.
