Burg Karmens

The Stalwart Sentinel of Earlsdale

Burg Karmens stands tall and proud as the first line of defense against invaders to Earlsdale. The castle is impressive in size and grandeur, with high stone walls rising over twenty feet above the ground and towers reaching high into the sky. The garrison protecting this castle is battle-hardened and ready for any threat from the south on the Blood Road to Aman.

Beyond the water ditch, the entrance itself is imposing, with a drawbridge and two giant oak doors reinforced by iron bands. Inside the walls lies an impressive courtyard filled with barracks and other military structures necessary for housing men and supplies in preparation for an attack should it come to pass. On top of these gates sits a guard tower with soldiers always vigilantly watching the surrounding lands.

Sir Ewan, the lord of Burg Karmens, employs a seasoned mage named Kondrack, who wields powerful spells to protect the castle. Kondrack’s magic strengthens the castle walls and creates powerful defensive enchantments, ensuring the fortress's safety from any potential threats.

However, Burg Karmens isn't just about being prepared for war—it's also a symbol of strength and stability within Earlsdale that inspires confidence in the people who call it home. Its presence reminds them they are safe here under its protection, no matter what fate awaits them outside its walls or beyond those of its neighboring castles along the southern borderlands.
