Ironwood Keep

Ironwood Keep is the seat of the House of Darkwatcher. Once the seat of the House of Dayne, it was taken by the Wicker Clan of the Gnarled after the House of Dayne was nearly destroyed. They transformed it in a gnarled ruin, with giant thorns erupting from the ground to replace where the walls had decayed and act as a deterrent for intruders. Ironwood was eventually taken back by the Blades of Greymane and the Duchy of the Ashen Coast and was granted to the House of Darkwatcher, elevating them to the peerage of Baron.

The Keep was initially constructed years ago by the Wickers during the Second War of Thorns as a new seat of power for the Wicker King. As a result, the area holds significance to the Galuyn people, as it was the site of their last stand against Gilneas as a nation.
