Description
Morl0ck's castle is a fairly old and relatively well-known base on Simpvp. The main reason for its notoriety is its sheer size. The grounds of the castle spans a 450x450 block area, with a large two-layer curtain wall surrounding it. Due to the immense size of this wall, it was noted by morl0ck to take close to an entire inventory of stone bricks to raise the outer layer's height by a single block.
It was abandoned on 6 January 2017, due to fears it would not be long until it was found, due to the advent of elytra rocket flying.
The main centerpiece of the castle is the Tower Keep, which is a 30 block diameter tower that reaches height limit. Sitting on top of the tower is a 41-block diameter sphere made of blue stained glass, which is filled with water and acts as a PVP arena. Underneath the tower is The Undercroft, the main functional area of the castle. The undercroft is mainly a series of long hallways which contains storage, automatic farms, and the like.
Harrenhal was once stated by the admin to be the largest base on the server by number of blocks, however this was several years ago and possibly no longer true, likely superseded in size by one of the more recent large-scale team city projects (see Aggersel).
Harrenhal was noted by the OPs to be, at the time of this editing, the oldest team base on the server with active members that is still yet un-discovered and un-griefed.

Iron Trench

Unfortunately, the 1.8 update completely changed village mechanics and so this build stopped working along with the update. However, the massive structure still sits in the desert as an old relic and reminder of the good ol' days.
