looking back at this documentary rn and omg i'm so sorry about the audio 😭several ppl have brought up how the music is too loud and my voice is too quiet and i'm definitely gonna fix that in the next one!! aaah i understand how annoying it is and i feel really bad XD
Based on the mentions in dialogue, I presume it does have a very large stable within, which is a cool idea. I never even realized they mentioned Marchenghast in that much detail during the Jorvik Gazette quests!
Marchenghast isn't the same era as the ancient kings old castle. I think that like many old things in the game, the new team decided to not keep the possible stories. I noticed that they tend to do that, especially to get rid of everything slightly creepy. Old kings was more medieval, and evoked the darker times of Jorvik, was possibly related to the witches of the now abandoned scarecrow hill race, and maybe an incoming storyline but we'll never see it sadly.
Nice video! But I have to recommend adjusting the sound levels, the music is very loud compared to your speech which also changes in the middle of the video 🤔
7:30, Eleanor Nightwalker has this theory about the Buttergood family being vampires, so go check it out if your interested in learning more, SSO also hinted it. Could it mean that the Winterwells are werewolf's or spellcasters? Eleanor Nightwalker mentioned the Winterwells possibly being werewolf's in one of her other videos? I personally think there Spellcasters or Wizards, because Ricky Winterwells Jor- Jitsu battle? Sorry if this doesn't make sense I though I would add it on, because of the strange " werewolf like" noises.
Eleanor Nightwalker's channel is ace! And I think the game is giving a lot of hints that the Buttergoods are vampires - there was a recent mainline quest where the main character and Linda go to the Buttergoods and there's a bit about how the senior Buttergood never gets up in daylight, etc etc - and a dodgy invite to dinner from Scott. I love that Scott is so into the paranormal while actually being paranormal himself! LOL
Hey German here! The German word for fairytale is actually Märchen or without writing ä like that, Maerchen. While I do think they might got inspired by that word it’s still important to note it’s not that exact word since it’s written slightly different:] P.s.: Love your content!!
THANK YOU for this video, I recently became super interested in the strange small tower on the hill and the tall stone bridge in between the mountains that I keep seeing in old videos, and tried to research when exactly it was removed (and what was beyond it, and if one could get there). You did all the job for me and even better, so thank you ever so much for this comprehensive documentary! ❤ I honestly like both the old and the new appearance of the castle. The old one suited the old SSO, the new one though suits the modern SSO far better and it has a bit different, but still mysterious vibe in a way. I like the slightly uncanny vibe the old structures are giving (also because they were inaccessible to players and you had to glitch through), but on the other hand, the modern castle has a much more grandness and glory to it while still remaining mystic. Also, the old version doesn't seem very user-friendly for us doing anything there, it was probably planned more as a ruin or a remnant of the past, a place to stay desolate forever that we can perhaps visit in the future but nothing beyond it. Whereas the new castle looks like something that we can interact with later - it looks much more like something we can unlock, a place where NPCs may be living and possibly also a home stable and/or races can take place. So I think SSO was/is doing good job in both versions! 🙂
@@miaow8670 thank you! i am so glad you enjoyed my video 🫶 and i agree, i think each version suited the style of the game at the time. tbh i like the new version better though since it has so much potential for storylines and it’s so mysterious 🤭
Just like Dino Valley and the still closed off area Ashland at the end of the valley Marchenhast castle is a forgotten factor in the game. The endless storyline possibility's Marchenhast castle, Ashland, Dino Valley, The Icengate to the Kallters homeland, North Jorvik, Wildwoods and Jorvik city have is amazing. Yet the game doesn't seem to care about expanding the map, the sub storylines, the main storyline, lore and create actual content. All they care about is making money these days. And that only happens through players buying new horse. And that's okay but at the same time they should be busy making content so that players who bought new horses and tack can bring them along on the adventure. If the game will only be focussed about making money and not actual content for players to explore all players will quit playing.
This was so interesting! I've been playing on and off since 2017 and had never even heard of or noticed this castle before. Maybe I need to explore more... xd
The information on the tour was not added to the game in 2023 but earlier, in 2021. This was the first tour in Jorvik where it was heard.On the birthday of 2021. I don't think catherine has anything to do with the castle. Catherine's memories are here because we are on the Light Ride and that is where we first meet her. The ghost that is spoken of during the light ride is referring to Catherine and not the castle. After all, we meet her on the Light Ride. I think that the pre 2019 update version cannot be the old building, and the explanation is simple, as they have been renovating the grounds for a number of years now, so it was obvious that this would be removed. So the old version has no meaning. The video is very good❤
Really enjoyed your documentary! I forgot we got all this info about Marchengast castle. Interesting theories, I feel sso intended quite a dark story for this castle at first. I didn't even remember the lights there being on at night. Perhaps a dark influential family in Jorvik doing black magic that got out of hand. Maybe they summoned a demon which is still there bound to the castle, still howling. I think this would be a complete new storyline and that most Jorvik citizens have forgotten about Marchengast castle. Perhaps some still have knowledge of legends or stories from there, Herman probably. Could be a great story with a lot of twists. Something seemingly innocent luring us in, asking for help, turning out to be evil after all. Something else actually innocent still trapped which we actually would need to save. Having to do a ritual to send the demon back and close the portal, which is very dangerous. No proof or whatsoever, this is just the story that pops into my head when I think about Marchengast castle.
@@Creation_Mode omg I love those ideas! And yeah a new storyline could definitely be the case; SSO did release a main story quest called “The Beginning of the End” pretty recently, so maybe after this storyline a new one will be introduced that involves Marchenghast? Idk but it’s interesting to think about
@@RosemaryClearbell 🥰 Oh that would be great, we defenitely need new mysteries the game. I hope we get magical training too, I saw a comment about it on facebook and sso answered something like to keep an eye out for upcoming storyline quests. Yes agree, would defenitely be interesting 😄
I'm watching this video just now while the Halloween event is going on and next week we are getting quests involving werewolves (vampires too iykyk) which you mentioned at 8:08 those quests will also supposedly take place in Golden Hills more specifically at the place the Light ride/Haunted trail ride takes place which made me think that maybe these quests will have something to do with the castle?? (now i don't want to get high expectations because the last "cryptid hunting" quests with Scott (jakalope quest(s)) were pretty short and these will infact just be an event quests but still maybe it will have something to do with the castle or will at least give us another piece of lore for it 🧐
I really enjoyed watching this documentary and I’m in love with the way you did it. The overall vibe with the castle is so mysthical and the music makes me nostalgic!!❤ Looking forward watching another documentaries from you, keep up the amazing work
@@Warchlaak I reread the post and it said this: “We will not stop, ever, to share stories from the universe of Jorvik-there are still many untold secrets, and much more to discover in the stories we've already begun.” So…maybe that means something? Though SSO does have a habit of hyping things up and then never doing them lmao 😭
@@RosemaryClearbell They often end up scrapping ideas, and im guessing that they're going for the medieval styles mainly because of the new fresians, i really believe that they will specify like, where the things came from etc. It may be irrelevant, but im thinking of for example the magic dragon horses, where they've been specified to come from ashland, even though the idea was already scrapped, and the castle seems the most fitting with knights and all. Anyway, i hope they will actually have an interesting idea for this, instead of just adding random shit without any context ✊✊
@@Warchlaak agreed, and when (if😐) they do release Marchenghast, I’m excited to see the interior, since SSO really impressed me with fort Maria’s interior
oh wow!! I've watched a couple of your videos now, and you are insanely talented. I hope to see you continue! your voice is really nice, and the editing is super well done also. you cover such interesting topics too, I've been playing for an extremely long time and have wondered about alot of this!
Just to make sure the castle is still not unlocked yet? No quest for it? Also another quest regarding the main story line. After alex gets taken by druids after trying to find a new house for anne what quest to you have to do to unlock the next main quest? I can’t seem to figure out which and is driving me nuts lol

I believe mr Sands lives in the Marchenghast Castle and it's the equivalent of the Pine Hills mansion where he originally lived in.
Marchenghast isn't the same era as the ancient kings old castle. I think that like many old things in the game, the new team decided to not keep the possible stories.

This is so sad, but true
I loved this vid I've been intrigued by this castle since I saw it and I really hope star stable does something with this gorgeous place soon.
Nice video! But I have to recommend adjusting the sound levels, the music is very loud compared to your speech which also changes in the middle of the video 🤔
Sorry about that! Thanks for the tip, I’ll be better about that in my next one 😅
I have a suggestion, you could do a documentary on the so called bread island or the other pards of the map that hasnt been released yet
That’s a great idea!!
