Coldstone Keep

Coldstone Keep was a fortress belonging to the Knights of Zorn that became abandoned after the Knights of Zorn crumbled. One day, a “Great Lord” decided to make the fortress his home. While he was renovating the fortress, he discovered a passageway into the mountains that led him to the Knights of Zorn. He discussed with them, eventually reaching the conclusion that the Lord and his people would gain ownership of the fortress, while the Knights of Zorn would remain in the mountains indefinitely. The Great Lord made an offer to the Knights of Zorn, that they would let any of them leave if they wished, as the passage would remained sealed. The Great Lord then set up a trial system, that would test the mettle of any who wished to reach the Knights of Zorn. Since the establishment of the trials, the only group to have completed them is the Westbound Fellowship.

The Great Lord operates a system of bandit colonies throughout the nearby area, earning him the name “Bandit Lord” amongst townspeople. The Great Lord wishes to build up his power, in order to create a new nation under his rule. However, due to the low size of his influence as well as the poor reputation of his bandit colonies, he definitely has a long way to go.
