Turm Neuhaus stands tall in eastern Earlsdale, its spires reaching toward the sky. Despite its grey and dour stones, it is a sight of beauty nonetheless. The tower has been there since immemorial, but only recently have troops from Jarlshelm come to guard it. The capital of Jarlshelm lies a day's travel northwards, so this new garrison ensures that Turm Neuhaus remains safe.
The keep serves as both a stronghold and a sanctuary for those who seek refuge within its walls. Turm Neuhaus also performs an essential purpose: it is being rebuilt into a larger castle with high walls surrounding it.
The workers fortifying Turm Neuhaus face many challenges as they set about their work. Powerful storms lash at them on nights when the moon is full; eerie lights flicker atop the highest spire during dark hours; and strange sounds echo throughout the keep's chambers late at night. But despite these obstacles, they continue to labor tirelessly until one day, when the castle walls finally stand entirely around them.
Word quickly spreads far beyond Earlsdale that something remarkable has happened here: travelers no longer need fear passing through these lands - instead, they now find safety behind Turm Neuhaus' mighty stone walls!
