Perched atop a hill overlooking Naturns, the once-proud Burg Schenna now stands as a testament to the ravages of war. Decades ago, this formidable stronghold fell to the forces of the Duchy of Jarl after a brutal and protracted siege. The moat, once a formidable defense, and the high walls failed to withstand the relentless assault.
Today, Burg Schenna is a shadow of its former glory. The outer walls are cracked and crumbling, with the courts smashed by catapults and trebuchets. The once-majestic towers lie in ruins, and the arrow slits, now broken, remind visitors of the fierce battles fought here. Inside the fortress, the main hall's stone walls still stand, albeit cloaked in dust and decay. A marble statue of a fallen hero remains in the center, a poignant tribute to the bravery of Karneid's defenders.
Despite its dilapidated state, Burg Schenna retains a haunting beauty. On clear, sunny days, the light catches the ruins just right, hinting at the fortress's past splendor. It stands watchful over Naturns, a somber reminder of the glory and tragedy that once unfolded within its walls. Wildflowers now grow amidst the rubble, adding a touch of color to the gray stones, and birds have made nests in the cracks and crevices of the ancient structure.
