Arkiv

Beside the mountain wall and with a frozen lake all to their own this hold has a wooden wall etched with assorted runes and sigils. Smoke billows from within, and in guard towers by the gates figures can be seen watching the road.
Arkiv is the hold of Clan Forsker and a centre of learning for the valley. Access to Arkiv is more restricted than most holds with the Forsker maintaining a degree of isolation ever since the days of the Emerald King. They prefer to send their clansmen bearing copies of knowledge than share original texts of their wisdom and rarely allow outsiders to spend much time beside their lake. 
The Lake itself is named Lake Forsker, after the clan, and is the home of a sea serpent named Ygtruul. The serpent is generally peaceful but responds with violence to enemies of the Forsker. The Forkser use Ygtruul to hide magical relics and items that they do not wish the other clans to find believing it to be safe under the lake in their hidden repositories that only Ygtruul can access.
