Thanatos Stronghold

A near-impenetrable fortress, shielded from one side by the vast mountains of Moramroth, and by a 12-foot thick, 30-foot high massive granite wall on the other side. There is no way through the wall; if you want to take the fortress, you have to scale the walls. The stronghold is designed in such a way that a small force can defend it from a much larger army, something that Norland has experienced the hard way. They attacked the fortress with a vast army when it was protected by only a handful of soldiers and sentries, and they were driven off the walls time and time again. The top of the walls have only a narrow walkway, so attacking forces have to tread carefully to avoid risking a deadly plunge. Only the strongest infantrymen can defend the walls, as they are the best when it comes to pushing back attack ladders and fighting man-to-man on the narrow ledges. The fortress keep has space for up to 8 garrisons of archers, who are able to cover the entire length of the wall with archer fire, creating a second, very deadly line of defense. Thanatos Stronghold is currently governed by Duke Hades Reaver.
