Indels Castle (インデルス城, Inderusu-jō, "Inderus Castle") in Bale is the residence of King Albert and the political and military center of the Kingdom of Basil. The castle was constructed above the river flowing through the city.
Architecture[]
Indels Castle has three main floors and a fourth floor encompassing the throne room, King Albert's private chambers as well as a large balcony.
The first floor contains training halls and hosts the horses for the Knighthood of Basil. The second floor encompasses dining rooms, a kitchen, guest rooms and pantries and an armory, and the third floor has a music room with lots of instruments displayed, and also has a balcony leading to a room on the opposite side. The throne room leads to King Albert's private chambers in the rear side, which has a "slide" leading to the first floor.
There's a spot for mounting a boat under the Indels Castle, but is only accessible from the underground path where the group meets Dran. However, the door can be opened from inside Indels Castle by turning the valve under one of ladders. By travelling with the boat, Dart can take a view around Bale.
Story[]
Chapter 1: The Serdian War[]
After Dart and company defeated Urobolus, Lavitz suggests that they go to Indels Castle. After coming out of Limestone Cave, they go to Bale. Inside the Indels Castle, the three are ushered in to stand in front of King Albert with Minister Noish and the Man In Hood accompanying him.
Lavitz explains how he broke out of Hellena Prison with Dart' and Shana's aid. King Albert praise Dart for saving Lavitz. Lavitz also states that his entire First Knighthood was wiped out in Hellena Prison and vows that they will not have died in vain. Meanwhile, Dart requests that Shana stays at the castle for her own safety. Albert told him that Indels Castle could not protect against the Sandoran Army's Dragon and there is nowhere more safe than anywhere else in Serdio. Albert also tells him that Shana care about him too and wants to be with him.
Dart retracts his request and asks about the Black Monster who destroyed his hometown, Neet. Minister Noish says that all documents about the Black Monster had been destroyed. However, he tells Dart that the Black Monster appeared 11,000 years after the Dragon Campaign.
After that, a Basil knight comes forth and reports to Albert that Imperial Sandora and their Feyrbrand have breached the territory of Basil, and it is speculated that they will strike Hoax first. Lavitz discusses the strategy and plans with King Albert while Dart and Shana walk out to the balcony. Viewing the landscape from above, Dart muses that he might view all of Basil from here and wonders if he might able to see Seles. Shana replies that the mountains block Seles from their view and moreover Seles lies too far away. Shana and Dart express their worry for their homeland. A moment later, Lavitz interrupts them and says the meeting is over. He tells them that Seles is safe but it will take time for it to rebuild.
Dart and Shana are relieved, but Lavitz tells them that Imperial Sandora is going to release Feyrbrand into Hoax. Dart lamented the attack and expresses regret for his selfish quest that left his hometown devastated. He makes up his mind to follow Lavitz. Shana also agrees to help them. The three then leave Indels Castle and visit Lavitz's mother in his home.
After the war[]
Upon visiting the Castle after the war, Minister Noish acts as Albert's deputy in the day-to-day business in Serdio. With the country being peaceful again, the morale of the residents is high despite their king's temporary absence, as he keeps travelling with Dart and for a while lives as a Dragoon, like Lavitz.
