The inner castle also has a portcullis.

History

Blackspire was the third city built by the Drucan Empire in the Forests of Valmont when they came into power. The city was built out of wood from the forest that the city was built in. After being constructed, a band of Orcs from the Deathhawk clan burnt the city nearly completley to the ground, and construction was restarted. The Deathhawks were driven out of the forest after the Battle of Blackspire.
