The well was like that one weak spot on the Death Star; it was an
ultimate source of vulnerability. Sure there were dozens of ways to
pour sand and molten substances on oncoming aggressors, and the
structural soundness of the castle ensured impenetrability, but if the
well wasn’t properly-secured, or if it ran dry, the rest was very
useless. Invaders could very well poison the water supply, if left
unattended, and virtually guarantee defeat.
