The Alteburg
Perched on the southern edge of the ward, the simple fort known as the Alteburg predated the city for several centuries. When the Old Mountainheartians arrived in the city after the Whimwhirl had destroyed their kingdom, they found the Alteburg in ruins. Desperate for protection, they rebuilt it using local stone, restoring its walls and halls to serviceable strength. It served as King Fredrick’s residence until the completion of Castle Sliberberg, at which point the King entrusted the Alteburg to the city watch.
Today, Alteburg still serves as the city center for law enforcement. Within its 3-acre walled compound lie the watch headquarters, barracks, armory, city courthouse, jail, and mint. Despite the opposing nature of the structure and the buildings within the compound, it has an open door policy; any citizen who needs to do business with the watch or the court is allowed to enter the alteburg and is free to roam about without escort so long as they do not try to enter the mint, the barracks or the armory.
