Turning


    1. Turning Castle
      Forbidden Castle

      A tower in the land of the Knight of the Burning Dragon found in Perlesvaus.

      Supposedly designed by Vergil, it spun around on its axis. Copper archers fired bolts from its battlements. Perceval destroyed all its magic by attacking it, and its people were liberated.
