Seastone Keep

Once known as Stonegarde Keep, it is a small Castle, carved out of the side of the mountains by the sea. It serves as the County's primary defense and was built during the rise of the Empire of Arathor. The castle walls are ten feet thick and thirty feet high, making them quite resilient and virtually impossible to fell with cannon fire. The largest of its three towers is twice the height of the castle's outer wall and serves as the Countess' main living quarters.

During the siege of Stonegarde, Joren Marwyn, his wife and many members of their household were put to the sword and the castle itself was put to the torch. After his death, Joren's son, Liam Marwyn took back the blasted ruin and garrisoned it with a small force of his own, but his triumph was short-lived.

Unwilling to allow his victory to go unanswered, the syndicate responded by sending a raiding party to lay siege to the ruined Castle and its already battered defenders. After just two hours of battle, Liam Marwyn was slain in combat and his remaining men fled to Stromgarde with his remains. Fearful that the syndicate would return, his men laid him to rest in Stromgarde's crypts, rather than the family crypts at Stonegarde. After Liam's death, the Castle and its surrounding lands were taken over by his sister. The Lady Melysa has since begun a full reconstruction of the castle and its battlements.
