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.
