astle Ehb

Not far from the Droog Cliffs of Fire stands

Castle Ehb, deemed the only impenetrable

castle other than the legendary Palace of Night in the Empire of the

Stars. Designed by 10

Legion engineers, Castle Ehb is built on a hill

of solid granite and commands a view for miles in all directions.

Originally occupied by the soldiers of the 10

Legion, the castle is

now the principal residence of the crowned ruler of the Kingdom of

Ehb. The Legion command staff is quartered below the palace levels of

the royal family, and in the deepest levels of the castle, prisoners of

various stripes serve their sentences in the bleak, lightless dungeons.

Like most castles, Ehb has its share of secrets. It is riddled with

hidden passages and bandit holes—and few know where all of the

corridors lead. Stories abound of lost chambers that, once located,

can never be found again. Some believe these are ghost rooms, left

over from renovations to the castle over the centuries. Others, mostly

sorcerers, believe the lost chambers bear the hallmarks of complex

confusion spells.

Hidden deep in the castle is the Chamber of Stars. Under penalty

of death, only the king, queen, or grand mage of the 10

Legion

may enter this mysterious chamber, which is rumored to house

exotic magical artifacts brought back from the

War of Legions—some of which are said to

be more powerful than even the greatest

sorcerers can fathom.
