Glad to hear you’ve been well. I’ve been well, keen to get back to Lady Alterac.

My bad for not giving you any explanation of what the Barony was like. The White Gate is set in a long valley that acts as one of two entrance into Aurellia via Alterac Superior, though it possesses a cobblestone road that winds its way through the valley, it is rarely used by any except military personnel. The land climbs up rather steeply into the mountains, which causes the air to become rather thin the further one travels. Blizzards and storms are also common occurrences within their respective seasons.

There is a single-tower keep attached to a large gate that blocks off any entrance into the valley from Alterac Superior to the south. While small, the keep’s walls are made of thick Alteraci granite and the tower is tall, making it a formidable and easily defendable keep. The keep is also the name sake of the Barony, as its granite masonry appears to be alabaster amongst the snow-covered terrain.

As you know, the terrain of the barony is rocky, steep, constantly covered in a thick layer of snow and home to hundreds of tall Alteraci pines. The keep is rather small, so when I write up the page I can add that the Brotherhood have built several log cabins behind the keep’s walls, to house their growing members. It could be the foundations to a future village.
