Redstone Keep

Redstone keep lies on the road between Erand and Sudala and the path north to the gnomish settlements.

For many years the Keep pledged it's aliegence to the City of Erand, but recently Erand has been uable to send support.  Left to it's own devices the inhabitants are suffering from banditry, failing crops, and dying trade routes.  Both from Sudala and Erand.

Whispers of war are in the air, and the villagers are starting to get skitish.

As Erand trooops are pulling back to guard their own lands and ease tensions with Sudala the races of the dark gods have begun to harrase the keep again.  Lizards from the nearby marshes, gnolls from the hills to the north, and even talk that warbands of Capra (Beastmen) have been seen.  War or no, the keep may fall to the ravages of these forces long before Sudala strikes out, leaving the keep to die in the same obscurity as the ruins down stream the villagers know as 'the Moat House'.

Update:  Year 431

Travelers appeared with the last carivan of the year, routed the bandit leaders and led the pesants in a rebelion against the keep.  The farmers and workers have retreaded to the moathouse for the winter.  The militia of Redstone Keep torched the pesant village, and what remained in the fields.
