Anyway, my research has led me to find that there were 8 original components
before TLC abandoned this idea.  I'll list them for you if you are not
familiar with these sets. 6034 - Black Monarch's Ghost, 6040 - Blacksmith
Shop, 6041 - Armor Shop, 6059 - Knight's Stronghold, 6061 - Siege Tower, 6062 -
Battering Ram, 6067 - Guarded Inn, and finally 6074 - Black Falcon's
Fortress. One small bit of trivia is that 6081 - Kings Mountain Fortress, has
a connection pin in the appropriate spot for adding to the other sets, it's
just a bit low because it's on a baseplate and not on a full plate. Arguably,
this could be considered as a 9th, but it might be stretching it.

Nitpick!  You forgot 6073 Knight's Castle!  6073 and 6074 connect well
together, too.  :)  On top of that, 6080 King's Castle and 6085, when
opened, can both accept wall pieces, although they are on baseplates.

Anyway, I'd love to see TLC return to this concept, myself.

Well to some extant they did, with Ninja.  Not between the sets, but
both the Ninja's Flying Fortress and the Stone Tower Bridge are
modular and you can put parts for more than one sets together.  One of
the few things I have built is most of three Stone Tower Bridge's.  I
have the tall structure/covered part on each end and the three center
sections in the middle.  I think it looks pretty neat  Some time I'll
have to add another center section or two just because I can :^)

All other themes are just spare parts for Castle!
