Fortress Beneath the Lake
The castle built beneath the lake which is the home of Lady of the Lake Nimue. A fortified defensive construct built entirely through the usage of magecraft, it is also a fortress befitting a sorceress of Nimue’s level. Every brick and even the layout of the buildings and walls is optimized for magical formulae, allowing her to perform large scale thaumaturgy quickly and easily.
The main attribute of this castle is its ability to be further fortified, even after it has been established. Through the magical formulae inscribed into the walls, defenses may be added or modified with relative ease, to the point where even the castle’s rank as a defensive construct may be increased. Naturally, there is a limit, and though it performs well, it was not designed for the purposes of withstanding a siege or defending against anti-fortification Noble Phantasms.
The truly unique attribute of this Noble Phantasm, however, is its innate function: when the Noble Phantasm is materialized, the area encompassed by its walls is automatically established as the territory of Lady of the Lake Nimue.
Incidentally, the original castle was created by Merlin in an open field. After she had learned all he had to teach her, Nimue tore it apart brick by brick and rebuilt it beneath the lake. For this reason, unlike normal Noble Phantasms that may be materialized at will, the castle must be rebuilt with magecraft before it can be established as “Castle Avalon.”
