The Shifting Keep

The Verdant Guard has a secondary base of operations beyond Syngorn's walls, called the Shifting Keep. It is built within and around a cluster of massive living trees that form the heart of the Verdant Expanse, and enchanted with the most powerful illusion magic that could be mustered by Syngorn's military arcanists and their guild of Spellbenders. Enchantments woven into the keep's foundations allow it to cloak its presence, seemingly vanishing and reappearing elsewhere within the forest at will.
The Shifting Keep can't teleport, but it can turn invisible and project an illusion of itself to any point within a mile of its true location. This remarkable enchantment has made it almost impossible for invaders to besiege the keep, and it played a major role in Syngorn's victory against Neminar Drassig in the Scattered War—tales of the unassailable Shifting Keep are told in Syngorn to this day. Nearly a thousand trained elven warriors, hunters, and spies call the Shifting Keep their home, though many spend their time wandering the Verdant Expanse. These rangers are vigilant, seeking signs of whatever foolish invaders would dare trifle with the might of Syngorn.
