The Torquoise Castle
"How does one talk about the Torquoise Company? Depending on your sides in some conflicts, your moral code or even the way the wind blows your opinion on the group might be different. But one thing that we can all agree on is that when they turned up things changed for the better. I believe it was Uystina who used to say that 'Gold moves all, Gods included' and it seems he was right. While Gold wasnt the major reason for a lot of them to keep working as they did, it did make the rebuilding of there Castle much easier." - "The Torquoise Company" A memoir and collection of Stories by Theoderios Klymanassa, Historian.
Defences
The last few meters to get to the castle is a large enchanted draw bridge that can be retracted at a moments notice. The walls are strong enough to withstand most of even the most modern siege equipment as there is very little space nearby to set up any sort of siege situation.
The walls are designed for a large amount of people to set up on them with ease. This allows for several ranks of archers
Infrastructure
The Castle was abandoned many centuries ago by forces of various faiths that when the gods voluntarily left, many of those forces left with them to continue the fight elsewhere.
It was re-discovered in 1404 by The Torquoise Company, the members decided to rebuild the castle, using it as a staging ground for there escapades.
The castle has a watermill, a trio of courtyards, roads and a achient enchanted blast furnace. With large walls surrounding the castle
Assets
The Castle itself contains several specalist workers. Including a Blacksmith, Bowyer, Fletcher, Cobbler, Enchanter and Doctor. It is also on a major connecting point to the dieties of the people.
Pilgrims of any legal faith can often be found making there way up the mountains to pray to the gods, bathe in the sacred pools or meditate on the peaks. Due to the high number of people in and out of the castle there has been a big rush of merchants.

The building itself is a achient stone building, mostly made out of the natural volcanic rock of the mountain around them. It is a malgimation of various styles of holy building. Though Lathander makes quite a prominant show in the iconography.
