The castle has no shop or a service.

The land ruled by the king of Zamoksva includes Zamoksva Castle, the town of Zalenagrad, the village of Taborov, the town of Vrenor, the Vault of Vrenor, the Desert Bazaar, the Birdsong Tower, and the Shrine to Endor.

The castle is a 3-story structure with sleeping quarters for the royal family on the top floor, a throne room on the middle floor, and a treasure room, a courtyard, a kitchen, sleeping quarters for the kingdom's soldiers, and a room that has the look but not the function of a Church.
