CastleVille Beginner's Guide - First 10 Quests ~ THEGAMETECH

You start CastleVille by customizing your avatar and then introduces you to Duke, your neighbor, and Yvette, your kingdom's first citizen. They are being attacked by Gloom Rats, a kind of Beastie that has become a drain on the land. Duke rules the kingdom next to yours, and he offers you this spot of land to create your own kingdom.

Yvette is excited to join your Kingdom, but you need to build her a house so she'll be safe from the Beasties. And so begins your first quest in CastleVille.
