Keiros Castle

Keiros Castle is the castle at the north end of Keiros City it is from here that Kerios Aldermann rules as Emperor over the Keiros Empire. It was built during the early years of his reign when he was still called King Keiros before he actually forged an Empire. The castle is the site of many of the game's important events such as the rescue of Aemi Monroe by Leon Kirk and Minos Aurellis, The final dungeon of Chapter Three and where the first one-one-one fight between Leon and Keiros takes place and also later in the game the sub-levels become an optional dungeon, which will unveil various of the secrets of the game's backstory as well as hold some secret bosses and even the location of some Summoning Orbs

The stone castle made around 2000 years prior to the game's events has ten stories and another ten sub-levels. It is the tallest and largest structure in Keiros City. The castle is evocotive of medieval England, from which it was loosely based on. Red carpets run through the halls, not simply as the modern sign of royalty but also as it is the national colour of the Keiros Empire.

The main hallway opens directly into a large dining hall that seats many guests. This hall was used during the Festival of Union for the nobles of various nations. The hallways lead to various bedrooms around the castle and also to some of the other locations such as the kitchen, balconies, storage rooms and even a blacksmith.

The kitchen is run by many chefs, who are under the employ of the Emperor. They cook his meals and the meals for guests as well as anyone else who is living in the castle. General Caleb for example lives here too, along with various members of the High Guard. The Royal Guard however are not permitted in the castle above the third level.

The blacksmiths is the main forge of the Empire. It is here that many weapons and armour are made to equip the soldiers of the Royal Guard for war. The High Guard have their armour built here too but they are never used in war, only in defence of the Emperor, the castle and locations of high importance. It is located inside the castle simply as a strategic matter. The reason being that should there be an attack on Keiros City, the weapons can be forged at the last stronghold and also so that outside contractors are not needed.
