Castle Daventry

The castle located in the middle of the kingdom of Daventry near the eastern Great Mountains, just south of Lake Maylie. It was castle that was the seat of power for many of Daventry's Kings over the years. Edward was the last king of the original lineage, but due to having no blood heir, he gave the kingdom to Graham. It is located in the middle of kingdom of Daventry. It is surrounded by a moat guarded by Alligators, and Moat Monsters. Statues of lions grace the front gate, acting as silent guardians.

The castle has two throne rooms... The first was the main throne room in the Great Hall, that housed King and Queen's wooden and padded thrones set on top of a raised marble dais. Sometimes a third padded seat was brought into the room known as the Judgement Seat, where judgement would take place after every new moon. Along the sides of the Great Hall throne room are great gallery, three long ranks of benches where citizens, and nobles of the kingdom can view daily trials and court proceedings of the Kingdom. The Magic Mirror is kept in a niche on the right side wall of the Great Hall. A side door to castle living quarters was located on the wall to the left of the thrones. Across from the thrones on the other side of the Great Hall was a set of double doors, that opened out to the courtyard of the castle.

The second was a drafty, smaller Throne Room, which housed the official throne, the throne that King Edgar once used in the Great Hall, it was made of solid gold, and stone inlaid with gold and gems, and is currently only used for coronation ceremonies.

The castle was refurbished not long after the events of KQ5.

Later as the kingdom of Daventry grew in size, Graham moved to an another Castle Daventry built upon a mountain near the Western Sea.

Real Life
The castle daventry shown and mentioned throughout King's Quest games(up to King's Quest 7) and books is intended to be the same castle. However it is unknown if either the Castle Daventry or Old Castle Keep of Daventry seen in KQ8 were intended to be the same castle from the previous games or not. If one of them was meant to be the same castle, there are major inconsistances with previous material, including geography, and architecture.
