Godric's Redoubt

Godric's Redoubt is a small keep nestled within the eastern mountains of Arathor, and is the ancestral stronghold of House Rutherford. It is presently lorded over by Ederic Rutherford, the 9th Viscount of Godric's Redoubt.

Appearance and History
The keep, from above, is almost hexagonal in shape. Its walls are fifty feet high and made of smooth, chiseled stone the same colour as the rocky surroundings. It is built almost balancing on a the top of the mountaintop, the very point of the landmark having been cut away to accomodate the construction. A long and winding path to the front gate and portcullis of the fortress travels through and up the peaks of the nearby mountains, balancing precariously on the side of the slate gorges.

While its front wall is exposed to the elements of wind and storm, there is no back wall, as to the back of the citadel is a steep cliff face in which the main chamber of the castle is hidden. Within the walls, however, is a small hamlet of thatched houses, inhabited by uneducated and grim peasant labourers.
