The medieval castle of Trostburg sits majestically on a hilltop, halfway between the cities of Tchars and Goldrain but somewhat removed from the main road. Despite its isolation, the castle plays a crucial role in defending the realm's southwestern borders.
The castle is surrounded by a moat and high walls, with imposing gates guarded by a detachment of vigilant soldiers. Within the walls, Trostburg is a bustling hive of activity. Its chambers and hallways teem with people engaged in their daily tasks. The great hall, a grand space with a high ceiling supported by stone columns, hosts a massive fireplace that burns brightly even in the coldest winters.
Trostburg is home to the lord of the realm, his family, numerous knights, and other nobles. A large contingent of soldiers also resides here, tasked with defending the kingdom and maintaining order. Despite its isolation, the castle is well-connected to the rest of the realm through a network of roads and trails, allowing the lord and his subjects to remain informed about the kingdom's happenings.
The lord of Trostburg is a mysterious figure, shrouded in secrecy and legend. Little is known about him, and he rarely ventures beyond the castle walls. Those who have met him speak of his piercing gaze and commanding presence, but he remains distant and aloof, as if lost in thought. Despite his enigmatic demeanor, he is highly respected for his wisdom, fairness, and skill as a warrior.
Rumors abound about the lord's hidden past and possible magical powers, with some claiming he is in league with dark forces. Regardless of the truth, he remains a mysterious and enigmatic figure, respected and feared by all who know him.
