Castle Corandal

Castle Corandal stands proudly in the heart of Westrun, just north of Westingholt, serving as a formidable stronghold for the forces of Forbin. Commanded by Captain Jianin Shallison, a seasoned Lorin a vertern of the War of Salvation, the castle is a key bastion against potential threats emerging from Remon to the west. Her unwavering loyalty to Lord Guardian Crammor Lantisha is evident in the castle’s vigilance and order.
The castle's imposing architecture features four robust defensive towers, each tailored for specific roles—some equipped for archery, others for surveillance, and one housing a command post from which signals can be sent across the surrounding countryside. These towers rise above thick stone walls, constructed to withstand siege attacks, showcasing the military prowess and foresight of its builders. The walls are reinforced with iron supports, ensuring that Castle Corandal can withstand even the most determined assault.
Inside, Castle Corandal boasts a multi-level layout that encompasses a variety of chambers, including barracks, armouries, and living quarters for its garrison. Spacious courtyards are interspersed throughout the castle, designed for military training and gatherings where the troops can hone their skills and maintain camaraderie. The castle’s extensive underground storage facilities ensure a steady supply of provisions and munitions, crucial for sustaining its forces during prolonged sieges. Tunnels are rumoured to run beneath the castle, connecting to hidden exits in the surrounding hills—an escape route for key personnel, or a way to bring reinforcements in during dire times.
Jianin Shallison’s command at Castle Corandal is characterised by discipline and a strategic mindset, reflecting her experience as a captain in past conflicts. She has earned the respect of her troops through her tactical acumen and fair judgement. The castle remains a vital stronghold in the region, ever-prepared to defend against threats while supporting the overarching goals of the Lord Guardian. Recent intelligence reports, however, have indicated a growing network of Remonese spies operating in Westrun and Gilrim. Captain Shallison has quietly begun investigations into suspected informants within her own ranks, ever wary of betrayal.
Castle Corandal’s strategic importance makes it a constant target for espionage and sabotage, and Shallison’s vigilance has become both its greatest strength and burden. Whispers suggest that an intercepted message, currently locked away in the castle’s archives, holds the key to uncovering the spies’ identities and foiling a plot to destabilise the region. For those daring enough to seek out the truth, Castle Corandal is both a sanctuary and a labyrinth of intrigue, where every shadow could conceal an ally—or a traitor.
