History
The citadel was built as the last human refuge up north and was wardened by the Storks family for centuries. The relations with elves deteriorated over land disputes resulting in the war of monsters. After the war the citadell was broken so the new lord Otho I. set out to rebuild. He made sure he put massive defences and the old fort he rebuilt to a gallery of his battle glory days. The orcs he slew and the trolls which turned to stone at the bright sun. He tragicaly died of sepsis when he cut his finger on the newly made table from orc teeth.
Architecture
The massive walls are stone made from quarry at Nothern bastion. The inside is mostly functin based buildings like the smithy, armory, barracks and stables. It's when you wlak inside the Orcish gate (which got its name from the orcish heads promptly staked to each wing) of the historical citadel where you will see stone-turned trolls in full armor lining the pavement with a dragons skeleton arching over the entrance to the Great hall. The pavement itself is made largely from orcish bones and overlayed with large slab of polished crystal.
Geography
The walls are situated no the division of the Edge river. And built on solid rock cliff.
