For some very good reasons...From the ground the crystal is difficult to target as most of the solid stone castle is in the way.Attacking from the air would at first seem to be the easier option. Note however, the four spacious archery/wizardry platforms located both fore and aft to the port and starboard. Also, the crystal is overshadowed immediately fore and aft by two SOLID STONE TOWERS... which also happen to feature battlements for archers and wizards intent on defending this stronghold.To first get close to the crystal, you have to get even closer to the defenders protecting that crystal. Good luck with that... The archery platforms port and starboard are quite useful for sweeping the surface of the ground during a low altitude flyover as well. This stronghold does egregious and wanton damage when sieging traditional ground based fortresses as it can hover directly over walls and defenses and overlooking the castle walls from the defenders side can rapidly clear those pesky defenders who are intent on raining rocks, arrows, and flaming objects down on your hapless ground based castle assault group.Even if you could bring it down, it's probably not the best idea to wipe out the magic that is sustaining flight, while the flying stronghold is directly over your castle walls, or the Royal palaces... Nothing says loving like tons of rock suddenly falling directly down on you....</blockquote>
