Kiensburg

A Fortress of Timeless Vigilance

Kiensburg stands tall, majestically overlooking the River Etsch and the northern valley around Wolkenstein. Built of great grey stones, it is a formidable fortress that guards the city of Reifenstein from any threats that may come from beyond the Trollheights. Its towers are high and can be seen for miles around, providing safety and warning to all nearby.

Within its walls lies a small but bustling village full of life—merchants selling their wares, farmers tending to their fields, blacksmiths hammering away at armor and weapons for those brave enough to venture out into danger. The castle's drawbridge opens once in a while as travelers pass through on their journeys or when traders bring news from afar. But mostly, Kiensburg remains watchful and silent like an ever-present sentinel ready to protect its people against whatever evil might threaten them.

At night, the glow of torches lights up the ramparts while guards patrol along them, keeping vigilant watch over the river below. People gather outside by bonfires telling tales of old battles fought here long ago, which have secured peace in this part of Earlsdale until now.

Kiensburg stands strong even today after centuries past—protecting its people with strength, courage, and honor as if no time had passed at all since it first rose above these lands so many years ago. As long as Kiensburg watches over the Trollheights, no harm shall come unto them!
