This set is essentially the last in the best era of Lego castle in my opinion. From 1894 - 1992 Lego released believable and historically based castle sets which made sense, fit well within the theme and had many modular components allowing you to combine sets into townships. This era of castle came to an end in 1992 with all of the original factions being replaced by new versions which didn't make as much sense and were less well thought out. 6086 was the final large castle with the same charm of this greatest era of castle and it was a worthy set to say goodbye to the Black Knights, Crusaders, Black Falcons and Forestmen. There is a good reason why Lego re-introduced these factions in 2021/22.
