Kragen Keep
Largest castle on the mainland. Incredibly expensive to maintain. Patchwork of mud and mortar holding it together. Ruled by Lord Galagos Tung
Kragen Keep is either a monument to engineering or one of ineptitude
Like a fungal gross spread low and wide of the land but instead of cordyceps it is mortar and brick.
The central stone tower stands above all and the rest rolls down a gentle slope, uneven and unmanaged. Some towers attempted to reach the heights of the centre but alas, the soft ground beneath them gave way, giving a silhouette of an uneven mound, covered in vine and dark stone.
There is not enough crops nearby to supply the needed garrison to fully man the Keep.
slaves and prisoners were sent to build outer baileys around the original keep. they were not told to stop so they just kept adding more and more sections in increasingly askew shapes. over the years the size and mishapdn footprint continued to grow. turrets and pallisades were added once the wet ground could no longer build outward, they used the rough foundation to continue building upwards in uneven towers, half collapsing by their poor mortar and the other half sinking into the moist clay below.
