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.

"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."
