Shogun Tomzilla the First stood before a huge crowd in front of Shadle Castle in Tomzilla City. The massive complex stretched at 5 square miles at the base, wound through several mazes to get to the castle itself, and the main castle rose 667 feet into the air. Tomzilla the First went through his speech in his head before speaking.

"I am here today to open Shadle Castle to you, the Tomzillian people. This castle has stood here since it was built in 1500 A.D. and has resisted seige and time. It is opened now as a museum for you. The top level is an observation post open to people to gaze out of. The other levels show weapons used here at different times of its history, a history of the castle, a history of Shogun Shadle who built the castle, and a memorial to the Tomzillian people and the Shoguns of the past. Shadle Castle is now open to the public."

As the Shogun said the final words, he cut a ribbon placed in front of the entrance to the castle. The people cheered, and began to walk inside of Shadle Castle.

Slaytanicca commends your efforts to preserve such a wonder. Many of our nation's people would dearly like to see the structure at some point in their lives!

absouletly marvelous, Ive always loved the history of the shogun in many ways it is like a romance novel, protection, and deception. i applaud you on getting all the weapons right your people have made some of the most miraculous weaponry i have ever seen, i have a collection of my own from the samurai class. if you ever need anything to help with this building or your nation, i will do the best that i can, all you have to do is ask

"Upper Xen applauds the Tomzillan government for its choice to turn the castle into a monument to its history.

History is a precious asset, and we feel that not just Tomzilla, but the whole of the world could benefit from the knowledge and understanding to be gained from these national treasures.

If possible, would like to send a delegation to tour the castle."
