Travel Advisory/Warnings

  • The crafting table is located in the drawbridge fortress, inside the pumpkin hut.
  • This is a good place to stock up on military gear, as well as get a bit of civ, food, and tool loot.
  • Getting the mil rare requires taking a considerable amount of fall damage afterwards or multiple grapple uses.
  • If you need potions, Grandfather's Curse is to the Southwest.


Trivia

  • This location was rebuilt on April 22nd of 2018. With it, Lore was also added.
  • The old version used to be very simple, composed of cylindrical towers and using mostly one type of block, stone brick. It was mostly hated due to this and the fact that the loot is underwhelming when compared to other locations like Heartless Mansion or even the nearby spawn towns, Carmi and Geuten.
    • The old version was a build submission by RT071198 posted on Reddit. Link
  • This location used to have around 2 mil_rares and some civilian chests before it was nerfed with the Secret Project Update.
  • The head of the builder, Tannatron, can be found on the lake, inside the waterfall.


Lore

  • The two Lore Books here are pretty consistent with the decay and current state of the location:


Captain's Log - Captain Willis

Captain's Log, Day 12

Lord Longton has still not recovered from his illness, yet we've heard reports of the dead rampaging across the region. We've held so far, but I've ordered my men to set up a makeshift barricade at the gate, should we need to defend this place further. I fear we may be in for a seige...

Captain's Log, Day 18
We've lost the main gate to the fortress, alongside several guards inside the watchtowers. Their screams will haunt me 'till the end of my days. Longton has demanded we raise the drawbridge, but that would mean cutting off the rest of the garrison. Those poor men will have to survive on their own.

Captain's Log, Day 20 The mission is fruitless. Longton is dying, and my men have all but taken arms against me. I refuse to order the rest of them to die. A few of us have taken turns digging through the northern watchtower, and we're nearly to the bottom of the cliff. Before we leave, I'm going to get those men out of the garrison, if it's the last thing I do.


Longton's Diary - Lord

Day 3

I just ordered Willis to send a word for a doctor. This cough won't let up, and I'm certainly not feeling up to moving. These men seem to want to abandon this place, but that's out of question.

Day 19
Willis needs to stop questioning my judgement, now more than ever! Sure, we just lost the garrison, but they're holding their own and diverting the horde. Once the doctor gets here, he'll see the situation and call for more soldiers from Worthington. We'll be out of this mess in a few days.

Day 32 <The page is covered in incoherent rambling about mutiny, along with blood spatters>
