The Emerald Castle
The Emerald Castle is a colossal, private residential building located in the heart of Wolfsschlucht. It is owned by Sieglinde Sullivan.
Geography[]
The Emerald Castle is situated in the village of Wolfsschlucht. The land to the manor is divided by a very deep and broad moat, and only a bridge links the area to the gate. A fence encloses the entirety of the estate. The path leading up to the manor encircles a fountain swamped with moss. The front lawn is overwhelmed with poisonous plants and trees trimmed in exotic shapes.[1]
The interior of the Emerald Castle
A circular arch directs to double doors which constitute the entrance. The imposing edifice of the manor consists of towers covered in moss. Inside the manor there stands a large tree, with candles set by it; as well, its branches are embellished with lanterns. The second floor contains a capacious dining hall, complete with a long table and an array of chairs.
Located somewhere in the basic levels of the Emerald Castle, a special room stores a broad assortment of herbs, bottles and medicines. A massive pot is centered in the room, containing volumes of water; the ill are required to get in the pot, while Sieglinde Sullivan administers the healing operation. A stove is set nearby for clothes to be thrown in (as it is necessary to strip when undergoing treatment in the pot).[2]
Overview[]
Generally, strangers are forbidden to enter the Emerald Castle. However, access can be granted for a one-night stay upon Sieglinde Sullivan's permission.[3]
Trivia[]
- During his visit, Ciel Phantomhive is staying in "Gastezimmer 03" (guest room 03).[4] Correctly, it should be spelled "Gästezimmer 03."
- In the Monthly GFantasy version of Chapter 97, the Emerald Castle is called "Grunes dtattliches Wohnhaus," a misspelling of "Grünes stattliches Wohnhaus" (Green Stately Residence). This was changed to "Grune Schloss," a misspelling of "Grünes Schloss" (Green Castle), when it was re-released in tankōbon format.[4]
- Further, the complete text says "Gastezimmer 03 in grunes dtattliches Wohnhaus" and "Gastezimmer 03 in grune Schloss" in the magazine and tankōbon versions respectively. Correctly, they should say "Gästezimmer 03 im grünen stattlichen Wohnhaus" and "Gästezimmer 03 im grünen Schloss."
