Haern Caduch
Haern Caduch, known also as Haern Cadvch, Haern Cadwch or Bear Keep, was a seat of the witcher School of The Bear, built on the snowy heights of the Amell Mountains. Though most of the Bear Witchers abandoned the keep due to folk riots, they seek to return to it after appeasing the locals.
Purpose / Function
While its original purpose is unknown, Haern Caduch was used by the School of The Bear until the beginning of the 12th Century, when folk riots forced most of the witchers to leave.
Alterations
The fortress is capable of withstanding the extreme weather conditions of the Amell Mountains. The remaining Bears have done what they could to maintain it.
Architecture
It's a fortress with thick walls jutting into the mountainside, capable of withstanding extreme precipitation and cold. The walls have interior passages between the turrets that are used to navigate the keep. Part of the keep is actually built into the rock of the mountain for more room. This is where the few Bear Witchers hid during the riots.
