Skysword Checkpoint
The gate to the Hastlands, Skysword checkpoint is first and foremost a military installation. A large, modern keep, Skysword was built to act as a wall against potential Hastlands invasion, a checkpoint for traders entering and exitting, and a staging post for Vanreth to attempt to take land from the Hastlands.
Skysword still remains steadfast in that function, and has stood sieges during the Winter War from ambitous dwarven generals that underestimated its construction. One of the most recent builds, Skysword was ordered built by House Duskshard whose own knowledge of military bases saw it become a dangerous structure. Hefty stone walls, strong supports, and a variety of magical defenses (including fire throwers and deployable anti-magic fields) have let it withstand the Winter War. Now, Skysword works as a border crossing and trade stop - with a small village sprouting up on either side of the base to help facilitate its new role.
