High Seat Castle

Midland Castle

High Seat Castle, sometimes called Midland Castle or Ron Castle, was the seat of power for the dukes of the Duchy of Ron in the Kingdom of Toemanshire. While the dukes of Ron rarely stayed at the castle, it being to remote and difficult to get to, it was home to nearly one hundred servants and guards year-round.

The castle was put under siege by the Orc horde that invaded and conquered Toemanshire. The defenders of the castle held for two years. High Seat finally fell to the invaders when the defenders could no longer resist, malnourished and weakened from lack of food. In a final act of defiance, the men of the castle sneak into the orc camp attacking, while the women and children fled into the night. The orcs, in raged by the long siege and attack slaughtered all they could find. The castle was looted and occupied by the orcs for a short time before it was abandoned after infighting over control of the castle wiped out most of the orc occupying it.

The noble families of the duchy are dead, and with no claimant for the estate, king Carab works to establish as a base for a Hippogriff riding team. Its height, spacious yards and gardens, and central location in the east is considered ideal for the possibility for a base of operations. If the team can capture and tame some of the hippogriffs in the Nuna Hills to the west.
