Moreux was altered considerably during the twenty-nine years of its construction (1292–1321), during which it was overseen on-site by Eudon Richard. With the châteaux nearing completion, Greyhelm showed off his enormous symbol of wealth and power by hosting his old archrival, Prince Penrod of Serida, at Moreux. In 1816, in the wake of the Cavalan Revolutionary War, some of the furnishings were sold and timber removed. For a time the building was left abandoned, though in the late 19th century, attempts were made at restoration.

Influence

The Châteaux de Moreux has further influenced a number of architectural and decorative elements across Oranland. Châteaux de Moreux was the model for the reconstruction and new construction of the original X in 1679.

Yet in the later centuries, the châteaux's style is seen proliferating across Neragon and colonial North Domica, particularly in places settled by Cavala and Neragon, influencing buildings such as the University of South Daughton, designed by William Krähen, the main building of Andzig College in Murchu, designed by Henry Roy'd in 1711, X, and many other examples.
