Aderburg (Ad-air-burg)

Overview

  Aderburg is the fortress that guards the heart of the Ascendancy, and is where about half the Justicar garrison resided. It is a formidable fortress, with a small town grown up around it.   Located on the temperate coast, Aderburg is surrounded by golden-brown fields of long grass dotted with patches of clay and sand. The land sharply rises to the North, where chalky white cliffs meet the raging waters of the Gulf of Caratae. To the South is a sparse forest of Eucalyptus and Ash.    The Castle itself is surrounded by a moat, and the curtain wall forms a triangle. From all walls and towers hang the Blackthorn Banner and the silver standard of the Justicars.    The Keep itself is a towering rectangle with three stories, each smaller than the last.    Around the moat are small buildings and tent encampments, much that houses the Justicar reserve. to the East of the castle is a small village that supports it's soldiers. The road runs through is and into the castle, and then continues North. All travelers are stopped and made to pass through the castle.
