Welcome to Windstorm Castle
As Ye travel the long and winding road through the lush English
countryside, the rolling hills and vales of South West Cornwall
give way to a small village and harbour. The ever changing seasons
bringing the traveler much to see upon his journey as he passes by
the crop fields and orchards along the way. The surrounding forests
giving protection from the weather and also shelter to the wildlife
that sustains the people of this welcoming place.
The village bustling with life as its inhabitants go about their
daily life, the many shops and homes giving a colourful insight to
this place they call Summersville. The sound of merriment and
laughter comes forth from the children as they play, along with the
tuneless songs from the Tavern where the travelers and Sailors
sometimes come to blows. The sounds and smells of the sea and the
many different cargos the small ships carry back and forth lend
interest to the passer by, whether he sits beside the quay with an
ale or partakes in the goings on in the market place.
Further on and hidden by the trees and undergrowth, a pathway leads
Ye to a secluded beach, the sands golden and welcoming as the
Atlantic waves break upon them. Fishing nets and small boats are
scattered along the shoreline, the catch of the day being plentiful
and the seagulls grateful for such as they gather above to welcome
home the fishermen. Just beyond the village a well worn track leads
Ye on, past a meadow, stream and a large lake to Windstorm Castle,
set back slightly from the cliffs and surrounded by a moat.
This is a place of chivalry and honour, where many of the villagers
come to work and earn their keep, mingling with the Lords and
Ladies of the Castle. All who seek shelter are given a warm welcome
if they come in peace, as such be the cornerstone of
Windstorm.
