Stronghold Hjerrin Building / Landmark in The Lost Lands | World Anvil

Stronghold Hjerrin

Stronghold Hjerrin occupies the tops of two adjacent mesas and is built up between them to create a stone tunnel through which caravans may pass without entering the stronghold itself. The fortress is a vast construction of drum towers and thick walls designed to pour destruction down onto the road below. It flies a huge banner of the Kingdom of Suilley over the highest tower.   In the vast, shaded underpass through the fortress, one finds two inns, stables, a store selling general supplies, and the forge of an experienced blacksmith, all to allow caravans a safe rest stop and supplies for the next leg of their journey. The long, arched tunnel is as ancient as the stronghold it passes through, but the stonework remains as sound as the day the Hyperboreans built it.   Only travelers of very high station or fame are admitted to the stronghold itself for reasons of security. Most visitors are limited to the small community in the huge, arched underpass beneath the fortifications.
