Eagle's Nest
The Eagle's Nest is the residence of House Meados, the royal family of Aguilear. It is built on top of a sandstone formation near the city of Meador. It is accessible only by one road that winds around the sandstone base. From any other direction, the vertical cliff faces and the smooth walls on top make it almost impossible and definitely very dangerous to get near the castle. Therefore the Eagle's Nest is very well protected and easily defensible. It was constructed shortly after Aguilear became a kingdom in 647 CE as the royal residence.
The keep is separated from the rest of the castle by a deep but narrow chasm that runs trough the stone formation and both sections are connected by an open air staircase. The outer walls also span the chasm with bridge-like sections on either side. Due to the danger of falling in, a waist-high wall was built at its courtyard-facing side.
