Description

Whitegrove is a castle in The Reach located on the borders of Highgarden, Dustonbury and Starpike is one of the former castles of House Peake who gained the castle and its attending lands from a previous unnamed House. In our server's lore the castle was granted to House Norridge a nearby landed knight after House Peake lost the castle during the First Blackfyre Rebellion during which they sided with the Blackfyres against the Targaryens

Construction

We started by terraforming all the eastern lands clear of all vanilla trees and landscaping, then we started clearing out the old houses in the main town and hamlets.

We then marked down the places where forests are and began plotting. Ammika worked on all major infrastructure and structures while Margaery worked on rural and forest objectives.

Ammika completed the castle and set the style for the Whitegrove and vassal lands, while Margaery worked on the Septry and Forest lands.

The project was completed when Thamus finished the forests with scripts.
