#0, The castle of Jeraddo
Posted by Gryphon on Nov-20-01 at 00:49 AM
LAST EDITED ON Nov-20-01 AT 00:50 AM (EST)

Just FYI, the mysterious, castle-like abandoned building on Jeraddo, soon to be occupied by the Institute Duelists' Society, is inspired in part by a real structure, Brandeis University's Usen Castle. It doesn't look like Usen Castle, but the whole "modern campus surrounding old castle-type building which is now a residence hall" concept came from that.

Today's little tidbit.

Sounds like my alma mater, <a href="www.arcadia.edu">Arcadia University</A>. Which had a real Scottish Castle on the grounds, imported by the guy that owned the land before deeding it to the college. As a picture:

I take it you were there when it was still Beaver College.
