Slide 1: #2462 HISTORY OF: A guide to LEGO Castle Part 2 LEGO Castle 2007, also known as Castle Fantasy, embraces the fantasy elements of the original Castle Kingdom much more. Slide 2: A Map is shown that was featured in the LEGO Club Magazine 2008-03 March to April. The Elflands, Dwarven Kingdom and the Troll Warriors were teased in the corners of this map. A LEGO Vikings connection is also present, which was acknowledged by the Bio of the Viking in the CMF Series. Slide 3: The Crown Knights Introduced: 2007 The Crown Knights are ruling the western Kingdom, also known as Ashlar. King Brutus started his reign as a cunning tactician. But as he grew older, he became quite lazy and didn’t see the threat rising in the barren Wasteland. In the end the proud King sacrificed his own life to imprison the evil warlock Morax. The son of the Queen and King Prince Varen will become the next king. The Princess Alyssa was once captured by Morax and locked in his skeleton tower. But she managed to escape and foil his dastardly schemes at the same time. Slide 4: The brave Crown Knights ride armoured horses into battle. And the true mightiest of them get to ride dragons against their foes. Jester Gogo is the only one allowed to ridicule the King. But Brutus isn ‘t a fan and tries to find a way to get him killed. Small towns like featured in the set 10193 Medieval Market Village are everywhere in Ashlar. Slide 5: The Skeleton Warriors Introduced: 2007 The evil wizard Morax once ruled Ashlar, but now controls the eastern area known as the Barren Wasteland from his Skeleton Tower. He is a great necromancer and commands a terrifying army of the undead to reclaim the western kingdom. To this end he also allied with the trolls. But his true goal is to revive his dead love, which has so far proven impossible even for his magic. Some of his biggest henchmen are: Grimhelma, which formed from 1000 Skeleton Warriors and a motherly figure to the other Skeletons The Bat Witch (she transforms into a bat) General Bone with his war-dragon Slide 6: The Dwarven Kingdom Introduced: 2008 In the south-west of the Western Kingdom lies the ancient Dwarven Kingdom in a giant underground realm. The hard-working inhabitants have crushed many mighty foes. The Battle Dwarf comes from the Boar Clan and wields the hammer Snoutsmasher and the axe Gougetusk. He fought trolls, stone giants and even a sea dragon. The evil Dwarf from the CMF series works as a mercenary Slide 7: The Troll Warriors Introduced: 2008 Orcs, Goblins and giant Trolls form the faction known as the Troll Warriors. Originating from distant shores, the rampaging hordes storm under the command of the Troll King to wherever loot is to be found. Not all Trolls obey the Troll King, like Hogar the Troll The Troll Queen commands powerful spells Giant Trolls push the heavy siege engines Goblins rely on the Trolls for support Slide 8: The Vikings Introduced: 2005 The biggest foes of the Vikings are the three dragons Fafnir, Nidhogg, Ofnir and the swarms of smaller Wyverns following them. But deep in the Northern Sea the gigantic Midgard Serpent lies waiting to devour the Dragon ships. Slide 9: The Elflands Introduced: 2011 In 2007 a map of Castle 2007 showed the magical forest of the Elflands sitting in the north-western corner. But due to the cancelation of the series, the elf releases only happened in the Collectible Minifigures Series. The Elfs are very intwined with the beasts of the forest and track and stop every Troll raiding party. They all are searching for a golden goblet that was stolen by an emerald dragon. They are also great musicians and poets. We know even less about the Barbarians which also come from the CMF Series. They love to fight the Trolls, Hydras and Ogres. The eight-pointed star symbol of the Barbarians is very similar to the symbol of the Chaos Marauders in Warhammer Fantasy.
