Warden Keep is a ruin and former fortification and prison in Darguun , lying near the mouth of the Ghaal River at the northern edge of the Khraal . [1]
History
While the kingdom of Galifar stood strong, this place was a prison operated by House Deneith . The inmates here were among the most dangerous convicts in the custody of the Defenders Guild . [1]
After the Last War broke out, however, it was taken over by the Cyran army and repurposed as a fortress. But in 969 YK , when the hobgoblin mercenary Haruuc led a rebellion against Cyre , his goblinoid forces besieged Warden Keep. The Cyrans would neither escape nor surrender, so Haruuc encircled it and blocked both supplies and reinforcements from getting in and then waited and watched as the Cyran soldiers starved and succumbed to disease. [1]
Inhabitants
Before its fall, Warden Keep was home to some 2,000 Cyran soldiers. [1]
Rumors & Legends
The goblinoids of Darguun now avoid Warden Keep for fear that the Cyran soldiers who would not surrender in life now haunt it in death. [1]
