Duskwolf Keep

Perched atop a crag overlooking the Long Road, with a clear view of the X to the south and the Y to the north, is a keep of mortared stone with a high-pitched roof that has wooden statues of baying wolves rising from its peaks. A branch in the road winds up to the keep's gatehouse and bailey. From the keep, the Duskwolf family of Safehaven has watched over the surrounding lands for four generations.   Lord Hathos Duskwolf (CG male human knight) commands Duskwolf Keep, which appears to have no guards to defend it. Many of the hallways and rooms, however, have suits of armor standing in dark corners, metallic wolf statues decorated along the walls, and dusty carpets spread across stone floors. These are actually cogwork guards and wolves, and rugs of smothering that obey Lord Duskwolf's commands.   Lord Duskwolf retains the services of a scribe, a stablehand, a cook, and a musician (all commoners), as well as an old witch (a druid) who is skilled at making herbal remedies and poultices. Lord Duskwolf's duty is to be vigilant and watch for trouble, which could come from any direction. Soldiers patrolling the Long Road on horseback are welcome to use the keep as a place where they can rest as well as obtain food, drink, and lodging for their horses.
