Description
Ortin's Keep is a fortress that is carved out of the mountains in the north. The Keep is almost a thousand feet high and a league long from west to east, and riddled throughout with tunnels, corridors, storerooms, barracks, halls, stairways, courtyards, balconies, and a single gardens. The Keep even has a Sacellum to the Rock Gods, which is a small hall with candelabras and an altar for praying. Its front gate is harshly chiseled into a massive work of art, its gate is known as a wonder across the world. Ortin's Keep receives its water from a reservoir created at the peak of one of the mountains, it is purified in the stone of the mountains and is piped into the Keep itself. If hot water need be, the water is passed by a burning furnace in the lower levels of the Keep, this makes Ortin's Keep one of the more comfortable castles in the harsh winters.

History
Ortin's Keep is the huge mountain castle, built by Ortin the Builder. It started as just a courthall, but as the years went on, Ortin's sons expanded the keep into the mountains further, creating what it is today. It has been proven to be impregnable to attacks, a siege assault would repel all who attempted to rush.

Through legend, Marius Winborne was the first to successfully siege the Keep. With his dragons and phoenixes, he rushed the Keep and killed the King. But the Keep itself was not broken or even damaged.
