Lakvan's Stronghold Reborn - Shadowkey Dungeon and Home

Here the slightest of things, a memento, a merchant's pack, align a hero's path toward destiny. Forces revealed now are needed later... if the new hero can survive a meeting with a master of shadow.

Lakvan's Stronghold is a dungeon & player home located near the border crossing between High Rock and Skyrim. It is occupied by a clan of powerful and bloodthirsty marauders, feared for their cruelty and gall -- for no band of lawmen have yet been able to threaten its denizens.

The Castle

The origins of the fortress now known as Lakvan's Stronghold lie in the silver age of the Duchy of Jehanna, when the strategically-placed fort held a position of high prestige for its noble occupants. With humble beginnings as a simple hillfort, the castle was later expanded with a watchtower opposite the main gates, and the undercroft was dug further to accomodate ever-increasing stockpiles.

During the War of Bendr-Mahk, the stronghold was seized by the bandit lord Lakvan, by whose name the castle is now called. Lakvan met his end at the hands of a hero whose identity has fallen out of memory. The castle subsequently fell into disuse until the upper levels were occupied by an Imperial legion as a border post in the 4th Era.

After most of the legionnaires had been recalled from the castle, which was a non-critical border crossing during the Skyrim Civil War, a band of mercenaries-turned-marauders massacred the remaining custodial force and moved into the stronghold. They were tracked to their new base by one Halvor Grey-Loam, a former member of their band with a burning oath of vengeance for atrocities committed against his family.
