Highwater Keep
Continent Basin of Life
Plane Prime Material Plane

A mysterious crater within the Southern Mountain range called the broken mountain, houses Highwater Keep. Deep within the crater lays an ancient keep created by the empire to watch for threats coming from outside the Basin. Currently occupied by the Ironhoof family, the keep and adjacent mansion have seen better days. Rumours have spread that those living within Highwater have begun to plot against the current Duke for reasons unknown.

History

Holy Celestine Empire Era

  • The Empire constructs Highwater Keep facing the south of the Basin to watch for external enemies.
  • Gonore Ironhoof, captain of the guard at Highwater Keep, takes command to allow refugees from across the empire.

Estarra Era

  • On 6 Dvarish 443 CE, Gonore alerted the Basin to intruders because a pair of Goldenclaw wiccans, Jyoath and Anaara, had crept into the Basin from across the Southern Mountains. This is also the day Highwater Keep reconnected with the larger Basin. (Events #350)
  • A stolen treasure is returned to Duke Gonore. (Events #357)
