The King’s Castle

Author

Rolindar

Level Range

10 – 45

Area Description

The castle of Good King Welmar was built ages ago near the city of Thalos. Upon the city’s destruction, it lay empty for many years, many claiming it was cursed along with Thalos. However, when our King Welmar united the five great cities and thus created hope in the battle against Darkness, he found himself without a keep. Risking death, he and his troops crossed through the ruins of Thalos, eventually reaching the magnificent, impregnable fortress. The castle stands as a tribute to honor, good, and law.

During the Shattering, Thalos was swallowed whole by the Realms and the castle now stands as the only reminder that the city ever existed.
