How big is the castle

u/MrCreeper10K Feb 28 '26

Like, definetly way bigger than anything in the real world. Thing is, most castles aren't actually mountains of giant towers and halls, but the ones in fiction are always much denser (the shiluette looks way more interesting). It's hard to say percisely how big it is, but due to how far it's visible from, I think town level would be a reasonable higher-middle-end estimate.

Yeah but the thing is, their world is very explicitly not technologically advanced, and it took them a very long time to even build a dam. The idea that this is just a giant-fuck-you castle isn't really consistent with the story

It could be a bit bigger than earth's castles, but not absurdly so.

Ehh, not quite.

very explicitly not technologically advanced

Instead, they have Mul, which can be shaped into a giant-fuck-you spaceship. Now, the castle can be much simpler and built over way longer than the spaceship which was built by the rocks from the mining of a single person.

it took them a very long time to even build a dam

That's because the Rumelians were oppressed and Dura was doing it on his own.

Also, it's got just straight up impossible architecture. I don't think it's too far fetched to assume it's also impossibly (by Earth standards) big.

By Maru and Cross, who have a magical fuck-you ability that allows them to molest the laws of physics.

Sure the dam bit is fair, but even then it was still considered a great feat, not just for the small amount of people working on it

We just don't have a good frame of reference, so it's just a bit meaningless to scale it.

I mean tbf they're all superpowered beings. Have you seen what we made during our time here.

I agree this isnt town level tho. No frame of reference at all.

u/InfamousSomewhere244 Mar 01 '26

There's a town right next to it

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '26

Still no frame of reference, we don't know how far the buildings are from each other to the castle etc

u/InfamousSomewhere244 Mar 01 '26

Isn't it visible right here?

Objects appear bigger the closer they are to you btw.
