Dargaard Keep
Dargaard Keep is a stronghold located in what was Knightlund and is now called Nightlund. Before the Cataclysm, Dargaard Keep was the home of Lord Loren Soth, then a Knight of the Rose. The keep was planned, designed, and built by Loren Soth in homage to the god Paladine. Built out of the rose-colored granite that can only be found nearby, it was shaped like the bud of a rose, an ancient symbol of the Knighthood.
Dargaard Keep is located in the Northern portion of the Dargaard Mountains. Built high upon a cliff, the road that leads to it winds around the cliff face. Legends say that about 100 years before the Cataclysm, Loren Soth’s grandfather had Dwarven craftsmen begin the construction of the keep. During that time, a small city called Dargaard (City) grew up nearby. Construction was completed by the time of Loren’s first marriage.
Cataclysm :
After the mountain came crashing down the keep was blackened with flame and wrough with huge earthquakes that left portains of the landscape scared. A huge pit opened up in the earth near the keep, where it is said many dark things crawl out. The once beautiful architecture now resembles an ugly, blackened rose. The gardens are now overtaken by weeds, the only rose that now grows is black, its thorns deadly to the touch. The roads leading to it are now split and cracked. Chunks have fallen off into the chasm leaving huge gaps. What remains is strewn with rubble from the old stone path once traveled
War of the Lance :
During the War of the Lance, the keep seems to be one a home of a powerful Night King. And has near it some cult of Chemosh using a powerful artifact.
