History
The Keep was given to the von Carstein family centuries ago after Vlad von Carstein's contributions so long ago. Since then the keep was built in order to keep negotiations with the von Carsteins but over the centuries it was forgotten as the family isolated themselves further and further from society as more were persecuted. Eventually all records of its location was stricken from public records in order to keep their safety.
Only once was the keep set upon, during Revan's reign those who would try to bring his family down and force his forces to retreat attempted to take it down, however Revan did not retreat back to the keep, deciding instead on pushing forward in order to not spread his Revanites thin. Yet the forces their were able to at the least use the Keep's natural defenses to cause a battle of attrition and deter the invaders away.
Tourism
Most friendly citizens frequent the keep as it is a safe haven for them, as well as others of the 'demi-monster' races in order to accept trade at the least with those seeking refuge from the harshness of the more humanoid realm.
