The Crimson Citadel Formerly known as Ravens Hold, the Crimson Citadel stands as a towering monument to the shifting tides of power in the city of Castlemere. Once the ancestral seat of the Ravencrest family, who ruled with cruelty and calculated governance, the citadel was renamed after the bloody conflict of the Castlemere War, in which Narri Castlereagh seized power and overthrew the noble Ravencrest lineage.
Perched atop the city's highest hill, the Crimson Citadel dominates the skyline with its formidable spires of dark stone, now tinged with the deep crimson banners of House Castlereagh. Its walls bear the scars of the siege—blackened stone where fires raged, reinforced battlements where once they crumbled under siege engines. The grand gates, once adorned with the sigil of the Ravencrest—a silver raven in flight—have been replaced with the sigil of House Castlereagh: a crimson lion rampant against an obsidian field.
Within its halls, the echoes of its past rulers whisper beneath the grandeur of its present regime. Where once the Ravencrest family held court in shadowed dignity, the citadel now thrives as the seat of government and the royal residence of Empress Narri Castlereagh. The throne room, once draped in the dark velvets of the Ravencrest, is now a spectacle of crimson and gold, embodying the Castlereagh dominion.
Despite the transformation, the Crimson Citadel remains a place of intrigue. Secret tunnels rumored to have been built by the Ravencrest still weave through its depths, and shadows linger in corners where ghosts of the past may yet plot their return. It stands as both a warning and a testament—proof that power in the city is never absolute, and that those who claim the throne must ever guard against the whispers of vengeance.
