Castle Plum

The Castle Plum is the residence of the Plum royal family. It is a large stone castle with fields of purple slurry blossoms surrounding it, which acted as an enchanted boundary to hide Ivy Lovely and keep her safe.

Ivy's room
Ivy's room at the castle was small and windowless, and used to be a grain larder, but the moisture in the room had made everything mildew. The floor, walls, and ceiling were all made of stone, and the ceiling was so low that Ivy had to stoop to get in and out of her makeshift bed. The forever-fitting dress that she's had since she was a baby was hung on the wall and she kept her sketches and the books Rimbrick let her borrow hidden nearby.

Scaldron scullery
The scullery is a dark room located beneath the kitchen and was once possibly a dungeon. It is separated from the rest of the kitchen functions due to the immense heat produced by the scaldrons residing inside, which can be felt emanating from the outside stairway. It is accessible by a stone stairway and located behind a metal door, which was likely chosen for being both fire-resistant and non-combustible.

The nineteen scaldrons that cook for the Castle Plum are kept in a row of form-fitting metal cages inside the scullery, where it seems they stay most—if not all—of the time.

Slurry fields
The slurry fields outside the Castle Plum are vast and extend from the castle outwards to the boundary of the Plum's acreage. Apart from being beautiful in the day- and nighttime, the slurry fields acted as a magic dampener, keeping Ivy and her abilities hidden even from herself.
