Knightsmire

Knightsmire is a castle considered to be one of the most prestigious keeps in Eremere. It is the capital of Dregonvell and the seat of House Whitemount. Partially constructed into a hill, it is an incredibly high and imposing structure over the west of Dregonvell. With a large central keep and various different surrounding buildings - such as a smithy and a stable - all encompassed by a large wall, Knightsmire is one of the larger constructions in Eremere.

Architecture

With a large hill behind it, Knightsmire has an immediate tactical advantage through height. Additionally, the archer towers hold off many besiegers. A moat surrounds what it can of the walls with a single drawbridge, allowing enemies to be funneled into the one entrance. There is a blacksmith, a bakery, a butchery, a stable, a barracks, a keep, and an armoury.

History

Knightsmire was built in the early days of the mass migration from Valysera; it was a primary headquarters for the invasion force led by Jonathor Whitemount in 233 EL.
