Reichenberg

The Guardian Fortress of the Mountain Pass

Reichenberg stands like a sentinel, guarding the road between the City of Meran and Salern. Its stone walls are tall and imposing, casting a long shadow over the lands below it. The drawbridge is always down, inviting travelers to experience its mysterious beauty within.

Once inside Reichenberg’s gates, guests are amazed by its grandeur. The towers reach high into the sky as if they were reaching up to touch the stars in their nightly dance across the heavens above. Inside those towers lay winding staircases that lead to hidden rooms filled with secrets untold for centuries past.

The main hall of Reichenberg is dazzlingly decorated with colorful banners draped from ceiling to floor and ancient tapestries lining every wall in sight – all crafted by master artisans throughout time who have paid homage to this castle’s rich history through their artistry. A suit of armor stands watchful against any would-be intruder in one corner. At the same time, next door rests an old armory containing strange and exotic weapons – remnants of battles fought long ago on these grounds but now just serving as reminders of days gone by when honor was held higher than gold or glory ever could be.

The ruler of Reichenberg is a puppet of the rulers of Salern, manipulated by those in power for their nefarious purposes. He is a strict and uncompromising figurehead, often enacting laws and decrees meant to benefit Salern while endangering the safety of the lands to the north. He wears luxurious garments and armor, befitting his status and is known for his blockades of the pass to Salern if needed.
