Adrik's Folly
Adrik’s Folly has stood sentinel over the land for generations and is locally known as one of the key stepping stones to allow the Province of Piliser to finally wrest what is now Village of Rybalka from Vikmordere control. Undermanned since its original purpose was served, the castle fell in 976. The commander of the keep at the time (Lord Adrik Holmir) had begun to grow more and more paranoid of a Vikmordere attack they would be unable to endure. He commissioned an escape route built under the castle and to ensure it remained secret, Adrik ordered the laborers executed.
Yet with magic, even the dead tell tales. Having seen the graves they were not responsible for, Vikmordere insurgents conjured the souls of the dead laborers and ripped from them their secret. By using the hidden passage, a lone assassin stole into the castle, wiped out the soldiers and slew Adrik himself; the next morning, the castle fell.
Once conquered, the Vikmordere did not claim the castle for themselves, suspecting that the original soldiers would not rest quietly. They abandoned the fortress to the dead, and to the dead it had remained until several months ago when the drow discovered the place and claimed Adrik’s Folloy for themselves.
