Ammand Keep

The Ammand Keep, commonly referred to as the "White Keep" due to its unique white exterior, is a heavily fortified keep located inside the city of Ammand. The keep houses the Order of the White Rose, the city's supreme court and it's jail, and the head office of The Lexitar Order.
The keep was constructed under Agustin Andor's orders, who wished to build an impenetrable fort on a hill overlooking Lake Kadia. The keep has changed many hands through the years but has never once been taken by force, and is generally considered to be inconquerable.

Purpose / Function

The keep's main purpose is to watch over Lake Kadia and the marshes south-east of Ammand, then nothing but a small town. During the The Days of Reckoning the keep was used a stronghold for the Order of the White Rose. The keep was home to Ammand's military command since Sandor Amarell took control of the city in beginning of the 5th century AB.

Architecture

The keep is built from dense white stone, similar to marble in appearance but considerably less brittle. It has four original wings, each with a watch tower for a roof, and four more were added throughout the 10th century AB.

History

The keep was built in the 4th century BB and served as a stronghold for Agustin Andor and his band. The building of the keep is one of the major reasons the city of Ammand formed, as many skilled craftsmen were rquired for its construction.
