Marrow Keep

Marrow Keep was the stronghold that once housed the Black Knights of Gilneas, an order of knights that took in members of Gilnean society from all walks of life as equals to defend Gilneas should the occasion arise. Built during the reign of Aderic I, Marrow Keep has stood as a testament to Gilnean perseverance for generations. The Keep once spanned slightly out of what is now the borders of the Kingdom of Gilneas by the Greymane Wall, but when the wall was erected such minor outcroppings were demolished to make way. Because of this, parts of the keep were quite literally built straight into the wall.

Marrow Keep over looked the sea shore, built right on the edge of the cliffside of the Northern Headlands. Within the keep lays various rooms for the knights to sleep, stables, an armory and various other implements standard to military fortresses. Arguably the most impressive room in the keep was the Bladed Hall, where portraits and blades of the most accomplished Black Knights rested. The keep was raided and the knights killed when the Greymane Wall fell to the Forsaken. It was later re purposed as a forward base by the Forsaken, though was abandoned after the Shattering left parts of the keep potentially structurally unstable, and other parts completely damaged when the Forsaken laid siege to it originally.

Marrow Keep is currently abandoned and there have been no attempts to try to repair or reclaim the keep. It has been reported that most of the keep has been looted, but the fate of the Bladed Hall is unknown.
