From the mind of Benito himself, I give you Highcastle........
In the south western part of the Ellannis continent, resting on a very high cliff is the ivory walled castle called HighCastle. It is a kingdom of the old ways. Rare races co-exist with the humans of the walled city but few outside of HighCastle know that. It’s the old ways that also govern the castle. A king resides on the throne of HighCastle and is a crown that opposes that of Aurelian Castle, however it is rumored that the White Seers. They are senior members of many guilds of the city and their influence stretches across the western coast some say even into Haven and Ashin Castle.
The King is protected by the western regions best knights and fighters. These warriors are proven in the field of battle either in military campaigns or by monster hunting. They are only 13 of them in service to the king, they are known as the Knights of Heaven.
The city has one of the best trained military forces on Ellannis. With very experienced tutors from various campaigns and racial backgrounds, with HighCastle also in one of the most defensive locations it has given the city a superior edge in training it’s forces. The army is often called “The Highguard” for the position to the local towns as well as their air of superiority to others.
The threat of the surrounding kingdoms, especially from Ashin Castle has also created a more personal group, whose mission is to discover spies & traitors. Sometimes they act as judges for local authorities in need. These groups are known as Marshalls. A Marshall may sometimes recruit several individuals for certain missions if many of the Marshalls are spread thin, the Constables are allowed certain power as long as they are in service to their Marshall. It is rare for a Constable to replace a lost Marshall, often after a Marshall’s death a Constable group will be disbanded and often forced out of the region, for some security reasons.
The navy of HighCastle is very good but not very large as its main harbor is away from the walled city. So as not to give away a large fleet, HighCastle developed some of the best warships and crew in Ellannis. It is not uncommon for a vessel from HighCastle to be one of the best and feared ship in the southern sea of Ellannis, one such ship, “The Kiss of the Mermaid”, Captain Eljo Antonsson has dominated the region and sunk 8 pirate vessels.
