While in [[AWAB]] this castle is relocated somewhere in Wicklow, the genuine castle which inspired it is located near Rathkeale in County Limerick.

The original castle was built by the Earls of Desmond in the 1400's. Apparently at one point Sir Walter Raleigh lived there, and tradition suggests that, somewhere on the Matrix lands, that strange new vegetable the potato was first cultivated.

During the late 1700's and early 1800's the castle was falling into disrepair, and was used (among other things) as a linen manufactory and a flour mill. By the 1930's it was a ruin except for the shell of the original keep.

It was then that [[Shaun O'Driscoll]] found it, bought it, and restored it, and stocked it with a truly astonishing library and many medieval-period (and later) historical artifacts.

After "Johnny" died, his wife and son took over the management of the castle. ([[AWAB]]
