Cragmaw Castle
Cragmaw Castle is a dilapidated and crumbling castle located in the edge of the Kryptgarden Forest of the Wyldwoods. It received its name from the Goblin tribe that currently inhabits the castle, although they didn't build it themselves. It is medium sized castle that can hold a number of people as a garrison but due to its ruined nature, only the ground floor still stands.
Description - The castle is made up of seven overlapping towers over various diameters and the space between. Originally up to four stories in height depending on the tower, it has long since been left to ruin and now only the lowest floor is accessible. A view from the outside shows that a the walls are particularly damaged and worn on the North side, while a small secluded entrance is accessible on the South side.
Interior - Inside the castle there were a number of rooms still intact. There was a large entrance way, flanked on both sides by small rooms for positioning archers on watch. Also include were an old dining room that fell to disrepair (much like the rest of the castle at the time) and was fowled by the Goblins. The was an old chapel as part of the main hall as well as a ritual prayer room and alter. These rooms held the icons of the Gods Oghma, Mystra, Lathander and Tymora worked into the stone, a clear indication that the original builders of the castle were Human. The throne room is little more than a large room which lacks even a throne.
Local Knowledge - After the Goblins were removed, the castle was occupied shortly by Hobgoblins apart of The Sovereignty; which were in turn routed by adventurers.
Regional Knowledge - Cragmaw Castle, long since abandoned by humans, has been forgotten by those of the region beyond the Goblins themselves.
Global Knowledge - Cragmaw Castle is not known to people beyond the regional level.
