Castles and towers of Remon

The Kingdom of Remon boasts numerous fortifications across its diverse landscapes, from coastal strongholds to inland bastions. Some of these sites are still occupied and play an active role in the kingdom’s defence, while others have fallen into ruin, their histories shrouded in mystery and intrigue.

Occupied castles and towers

Castle Biltar

Situated on the southern coast along Berin Sound, Castle Biltar serves as a critical coastal stronghold. Commanded by Lord Drannis, the fortress plays a vital role in protecting the timber-rich Denerth Woods and securing the coastline. However, the mysterious disappearance of a heirloom blade, the Song of the Tide, has caused tension within its walls.

Fort Dayn

Fort Dayn is the kingdom’s first line of defence along the Straits of Jaltra. Commanded by Lord Karvas Mannakar, this sprawling fortress is a vital military hub. Recently, concerns about supply irregularities and the growing influence of Mannakar’s son, Althus, have troubled the garrison.

Fort Rolmir

Fort Rolmir stands on the road between Fort Dayn and the coastal towns, providing a strategic outpost in the network of defences along Remon's southern coast. Commanded by Captain Storn, the fort has recently been caught up in the intrigue surrounding Fort Dayn, with suspicions of corruption lurking in the background.

Irestone

A sturdy fortress on the Bay of Laknas, Irestone guards the southern Plains of Daraneen and nearby trade routes. Lord Commander Venrick oversees this outpost, where he contends with raids led by the elusive warlord Jalash Karnoch.

Laknas Keep

The great Keep at Laknas controls the vital Ogir River crossing in the north of Remon. Under Lord Garron, a cousin of King Dastan III the keep has become a hub of corruption and ambition, as Garron turns the once-honourable fortress into his personal fiefdom.

Nalyn Tasad

This lighthouse and lookout tower stands at the northern edge of the Bay of Harsann. Commanded by Captain Inshenn, Nalyn Tassad ensures safe passage for ships. Unknown to others, Inshenn secretly serves as a spy for Forbin, gathering intelligence on Remon’s naval defences.

Old Palace of Jaltra

The Old Palace in Jaltra once served as the royal residence of Remon’s monarchs before the capital moved to Harsann. Now occupied by Princess Karenth, the King’s younger sister, the palace still houses a small garrison and the Royal Crypt, while its crumbling western wing falls into the sea.

Royal Palace of Harsann

The Royal Palace in Harsann is the current seat of the monarchs of Remon. Built on a rise overlooking the River Dayn and Bay of Harsann, it serves as both a symbol of power and a hub for political affairs. Its strategic location and strong defences make it one of Remon’s most secure fortifications.

Soldra Garrison

Perched above the cascading falls of the River Dayn, the Garrison at Soldra is a critical outpost controlling trade with the Norran. Commanded by the strict Captain Yuldan, tensions have risen as Yuldan’s harsh policies have damaged trade relations with the Norran cities.

Tiran's Keep

Tiran’s Keep overlooks the Straits of Jaltra and serves as both a military outpost and the seat of Lady Fenna Larshiss. Though loyal to the crown, Larshiss has subtly expanded her influence, positioning her sons for future political power in the kingdom.

Tower of Keskus

Once used to keep young prince Keskus safe from his foretold doom, this slender tower in the Denerth Woods is now a military outpost under Captain Felthor.

Ruins

Fort Sarlindal

Located on the edge of the Plains of Daraneen, Fort Sarlindal is now a crumbling ruin haunted by legend. Once a key northern sentinel, it is now a base for brigands led by the feared Drask the Black, who uses the ruin to launch raids on the surrounding lands.

Hibressand

Hibressand is a ruined fortress from the 11th century wars between the new Kingdom of Remon and the Norran of the mountains.

Ralshan Darn

Ralshan Darn, once the stronghold of Tiran III, lies in ruins in the Krund Hills. Destroyed in a great siege, the fortress now harbours colonies of dangerous Narshax and whispers of twisted sorcery. The hidden tunnels beneath the ruins are perilous, said to conceal ancient secrets and magical remnants.
