Travel Advisory/Warning

  • This is a good location in the Northeast of the map for military gear. However, better military loot can be found at Zerbia not too far up North.
  • The Secret Room can be accessed by finding the button hidden near the iron ore. To exit you must find the other secret button hidden under the wooden shelf inside the secret room.
  • Lord Aaron's Private Panic Room is hidden near the Northwestern tower, close to the castle's walls. You must find a ladder to get to this room.
  • The ground floor of the prison contains 2 zombie spawners. Be careful!
  • If you're in need of bandages, milk or potions, you should go to Virway Tower towards the South.
  • It's not rare for zombie pigmen to spawn around and atop the general area of the Northwest tower, so be prepared.
  • If you need a larger amount of food, Ragtag's Cove is to the Southeast.

Trivia

  • At the North wall there is a small ditch that appears as though someone was trying to escape. You can climb under to exit the fort.
  • The Private Room has the name of the creator of this location, Lord_Aaron.

Lore

Lore Block

When the plague began spreading, an old military order was issued to seek refuge inside the fort.

Despite the harsh discipline and the preaching of the lord commander, soldiers defected one after another, either because of fear or hunger.
The lack of men defending the gates soon caused the fort to fall apart. It is said that the lord still roams inside the fort, to command his army of now dead soldiers.


  • There are multiple signs scattered around the fort with personal accounts of soldiers.
