Reese Eddings's castle in Firilith province. Some stuff about where it's located and what the weather is like and the sea and stuff and maybe some compass directional data or whatever.
History
The original capital of the Eldritch, abandoned after the fight with Corel. (Purportedly). [1]
Recent history: the Castle deeded to Reese Eddings, just prior to the Eldritch civil war; used for refugees from Ontine during the war; then its post-war history (from Jubilee Summer and Heartskein).
Physical Attributes
Weather, the land around it (coast, fields, forest, and the town down the path to the south: "To the south, though, the coast zagged inward toward a forest, and there if she squinted she could see gray roofs."[2] ).
Facade and Exterior
The castle wall has enormous doors, "centuries old," which were originally levered open and closed with chains. The walls have narrow corridors, for defenders to move through them.[3] The keep is set back from the forecourt, and is entered by way of a set of stone stairs leading to another pair of large doors. These doors open directly onto the main hall.[2]
The towers all have walkways around the conical roofs, accessed by stairs with landings. [2]
Layout and Rooms
Great Hall
The great hall is accessed immediately off the doors leading into the keep, and has a hearth that is "longer than Reese is tall." The floor is stone, and communicates the cold well. [2]
Towers
- The nursery is in one of these, above the ground floor, and it's separated into halves for sleeping children and playing children. There are windows on both sides. [4]
- Kis'eh't's office/lab is on the ground floor of one of these [5]
Imperial Suite
Laisrathera has a suite set aside for imperial visitors in one of the towers: a round room so large it had been partitioned into a receiving chamber, a bedroom, and a thankfully modern bath. Its balcony runs almost half its circumference and offers a magnificent view of the sea to the east. The balcony door has to be physically opened by sliding, and the balcony itself has a couple of wrought iron chairs. This suite has no genie (as of the events of Sediryl's investiture) [6]
Grounds
Rose Point Forecourt the town that has grown up in the immediate vicinity of the castle.
