This castle was built as a border defense to protect the mining towns nearby. It is inhabited entirely by six companies of soldiers, and their support staff.
November 1 1167 - The party passes through, and does some magical building improvements, and builds a stone kitchen building with a permanent firepit for cooking.
They meet the fort commander, Ragnar Lottbrok, who they learn is the first son of a wealthy family, working his way through military assignments on his way up the ranks in the army. His troops know this, but he is good at his job and treats his soldiers well, so he is well liked.
He has five lieutenants: Hard, Astrid and Estrid (twin blondes), Inga, and Revna.
