The Broken Citadel
The Iron Throne
An abandoned fortress that once served as the kingdom’s military stronghold. It was abandoned after a terrible siege three decades ago when the defending garrison mysteriously vanished. Now it stands as a monument to loss.
Recent reports suggest movement within the Citadel’s walls. The Cursed Knight Meredith has taken residence there, and her presence seems to be drawing other cursed individuals like moths to flame. Count Malvyn has been seen meeting with figures in the Citadel’s depths, suggesting it may be a nexus point for the House of the Endless Night.
The Citadel’s architect appears to have been familiar with the seal locations—maps carved into the stone show connections to places far beyond the castle itself.
