== Description ==
==Objectives==
As with all of the Dream Weaver worlds, Lofty Castle is a gigantic, beautifully-carved, white and gold monument floating atop various lushly-decorated levitating islands. The spires and towers reach high into a red, pink, and blue sky filled with nearby orbiting planets. The sheer color of this wondrous subworld is extravagant and awesome, with various floating patches of land to skip along and many backwards, forwards, and sideways-flowing rivers and pools. Fairies like to stay here while in the Dragon Realms, and will always lend a helping hand to any lost visitors. The castle itself is beautiful, with blue rooftops and gold-lined walls. It holds plenty of rooms for the Dream Weavers to get their own beauty sleep in, as well as extra rooms for others. A pool is held in its courtyard with a raised platform in the middle, allowing for some neat swan dives.
