Vindale is the castle of the Baron of Koln. The Baron is the incredibly rich son of a warrior who rose to baron from knight during the early years of King Nimlaure Aglarion's rule. He is a gambler and a duellist who has many enemies.
Koln is the name of the barony over which he presides. Being on the border, Koln is heavily garrisoned and defended. A moat circles the walls; it is full of crocodiles and other predatory animals, and makes an effective barrier. The castle sits on a hill, with 30‑40' long slopes at a 40 degree angle. The walls are 40' high, 12' thick at the base and 8' thick at the top, which are battlemented. 324 men live in the barracks and man the walls during battle. The captain (who is a 9th level fighter) and another score of picked men (all level 2 to level 7 types) live in the manor house. Each tower has two ballistae.
