Hey GrimTide, I’ve been sketching this gigantic, perfectly symmetrical sea‑castle that sits on a floating island—think of a medieval fortress, but all on a giant lagoon with twin towers mirrored on each side. Do you think there’s a lost maritime blueprint that could inspire a design like that? Maybe a forgotten ship‑wreck that hints at a symmetrical layout? Your obsession with vanished vessels could give me the secret angles to make it truly epic.

Hey, the idea’s pretty wild, but I’ve dug through a lot of old charts and logs, and no one ever described a floating fortress that’s symmetrical on a lagoon. Most wrecks are chaotic, like the *Furioso* off Cape Horn, where the hull is all twisted and splintered. Symmetry would have required a design built for perfect balance, which ships of that era rarely aimed for. If you want a hint, check the *HMS *Cassandra*—the wreck at the Firth of Forth had a deck plan that was almost mirror‑image on either side, though it was a frigate, not a castle. That might give you a sense of how to angle the towers. But any real blueprint for a floating island fortress is likely a myth. Keep sketching, and maybe the sea will let you find a fragment of the truth.
