Originally the castle started as little more than a lookout tower, merely intending to give the farmers working in the fields along the Great Mesa fair warning should trouble come looming from the north, which, in the days it was built, was scarce anyway.


However, being in such a prime location, more and more people began to settle here. A wall was built around the tower and houses grew up around it.
