Time for a Halloween themed post here....
Alright...in Fantasy/Video Games/whatnot you have these badguys with these massive sprawling castles of doom'n'gloom. For Example, you have Icecrown in Wow. There's Nockmaar in Willow, Barad-dûr in LoTR, even Maleficent's castle in Sleeping Beauty for crying out loud...
But who builds these things? I mean, do you have some poor sap of an architect conscripted to build these awful edifices of terror? Can you imagine Sauron going up to a notable architect of the time and how that meeting would go down?
Sauron
Hey, sup, are you...?
Architect
AAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! A FLYING EYE!
Sauron
Yeah, get that all the time, but I'd like to discuss a business proposition with you. See, I've been going over your extensive references, and I feel you have the qualifications I'm looking for. I'd like you design me a huge tower...are you running already? I know the project is daunting but...
Architect
Help! Help me!! Someone help me!! The eye! it BURNS!!!
Sauron
/sigh
I mean, I know some of these badguys are normally immensely powerful wizards and can summon their fortresses of hate through their mastery over magic...but wouldn't that get old after a while? Destroying the castle to defeat good guys, and then summoning it back again?
Evil Lieutenant
Sir! The heroes approacheth!
Evil Castle Owner
My insurance is going to go up again... -.-
But, I guess it's a requirement of the position, because they all have them. Even the Emperor had his tall tower on the Death Star.
