Ruins of Castle Ucalodh (OOH-kah-low-dh)
This crumbling fortress once belonged to the Archlich Ucalodh, defeated by the Tiefling Cleric Glory early in the Age of Heroes. Now it lies in ruins, home only to giant spiders and other such evil creatures as would inhabit a castle that still, thousands of years later, reeks of death and dark magic. A respectful mile of distance is the generally advised space to leave between yourself and the castle if you wish to travel past it safely, and there are a number of Imperial Parks Service viewing points at about that range scattered around the castle on the side of various roads which pass through the area. This does not dissuade the young and reckless, or the terminally curious, from approaching more closely, of course. For that, there are numerous signs advertising the danger of entering the ruin. However, there are no guards posted to keep people out, as one might expect of such a perilous piece of history. Whether the lack of supervision is due to an oversight on the part of the Kefdolit and Whisperwild Provincial governments, a disregard for the lives of those foolish enough to ignore several layers of signs and fences, or some supernatural resistance on the part of Castle Ucalodh itself to being guarded by outsiders, none can say.
