Blazebane

At the end of the war, as the armies of Nyrond and the Overking ground each other into the bloody dust, Blazebane was where a final stand was made to cover the approach to Mithat.

The stone walled castle boasts five high towers. It also has a dry, 25 foot deep moat which has a ring of standing stones within it which radiate magic strongly. Ghiselinn himself prepared this defense. When the hordes of Aerdi filled the moat and siege engines bombarded the castle walls, magical items with elemental (fire) aspects (wands of fire, flametongue swords, etc.) were flung into the moat to fuel the defense. A huge wall of fire filled the moat, and Ghiselinn conjured meteor swarms from the stones to destroy the siege engines. The mighty wall of fire alone, harmless to the castle's magically protected walls, slew over 1,500 orcs and soldiers.

The, effect of these defenses on the Overking's troops, even the fiends, was devastating. Blazebane held. Ghiselinn is no longer to be found here, but the 1,600 troops remember the mighty defense this castle made, and it is a vital watching post looking eastward to Almor.
