Location: Lagath – um Castle



Lagath – um castle sits just north of the center of the town of Lagath – um, and has been standing in the same spot for more than a millennium. The interior and exterior have been redone many times as the reign of each king came and went.

If you search thoroughly around the castle, especially in the several basement levels, you will be able to find cracked and chipped walls that show the layer over layer construction used by the former kings of Lagath – um to fortify and redecorate the castle.

The castle itself is large enough that an unescorted guest might become lost in its numerous corridors. One part of the castle in particular, the basement, hasn’t been explored much, and therefore, very little is known about it. What is known, however, is that the castle seems to extend as deep into the earth as it is tall, some five stories into the ground.

The castle of Lagath – um is the pride of the town which bears its name. It has stood for over a thousand years, and will most likely continue to stand for another thousand against any natural forces.
