Hello Everyone! Lately I've been thinking about doing a project that attempts to analyze the layouts of castles, and to potentially answer people's questions like "Where are the stables?" or "Where does the Master-at-Arms reside?" I'll attempt to answer these by doing a rudimentary analysis of the castles, and listing cool features and rooms, as well as looking at notes made by staff in the wikis. If I'm incorrect or missing some things, you can point it out and I'll look improve the product. I've started with House Chelsted but I hope to add more!
