Argynvostholt

Ruined Castle of the Order of the Silver Dragons

High above the river valley juts a quiet promontory upon which looms a sepulchral mansion, its turrets capped with fairy-tale cones, its towers lined with sculpted battle­ments. A third of the structure has collapsed, as has part of the roof, but the rest appears intact. A dark, octagonal tower rises above the surrounding architecture. Out of the fog comes a distant peal of thunder, quickly accompanied by the howling of wolves in the woods below, but the house stands silent, seeming like the fos­silized remains of some long-dead thing smote upon the mountainside.
