Thornveil Keep (The Keep)
Thornveil Keep is an ominous forest and dark castle located at the eastern edge of the Heartlands, and it is known to be a sphere controlled by a lockette named Cassandra.
Enter Thornveil Keep at your peril - for the weather will drive you to the castle, and horrors you can only imagine await you there.
The sphere of Thornveil Keep has the following settings or conditions:
-
- It can only be traveled to by walking or in a cart drawn by animal.
- Technology within the Keep seems to be predominantly paused at the level humans would refer to as ‘early Victorian’.
- Most medical technology within the Keep does not work, unless it is being used by Cassandra herself.
- Thornveil Keep only has the seasons of autumn and winter, and cycles unpredictably between them. It displays particularly harsh weather when someone is within the sphere, to push them to seek shelter in the castle. Torrential rains, near-blizzard conditions, and dangerous thunderstorms have all been observed.
- It is always nighttime in Thornveil Keep.
- Decay works much faster in Thornveil Keep than in the Heartlands, and wounds will become dangerous far more swiftly.
