Cailin Lee
Built to address the constant — and annoying — threat posed by the Principality of Olduvar, Cailin Lee is a massive, squat fortress on a large hill overlooking the lands to the south. The king and his advisors know that Olduvar is a constant threat and ensure that the fortress is well maintained and provided with the most modern of armaments and training. The City-State of Castorhage prefers a free and independent Kingdom of Vast next door to them over any other conquering country and, to that end, provides Cailin Lee with the siege engines and protection it needs to ensure its success.
Dwarves of the Iron Kingdom of Dorriden constructed the walls and buildings of the entire fortress several centuries ago and added to the few structures that were already here. Now expanded to encompass wells, field lands, and even grazing areas, the fortress covers an area the size of many small cities. The tall, crenellated walls and towers provide a wide view of the surrounding area and are patrolled and monitored by trained militia. Both the towers and the walls have shielded placements for ballistae, trebuchet, and other engines of war. General Redmane keeps the fortress in an admirable state of readiness. Forces here regularly patrol the region but are under orders to avoid any conflicts.
Cailin Lee has repelled a number of assaults from the Principality of Olduvar over the years, both direct attacks upon its walls and incursions of forces that sought to invade the Vast though paths that avoided the fortress altogether. Since the dwarven improvements were completed, the fortress has never fallen.
