Royal Keep

The Royal Keep, or Sacra Adelia, was the Great Tower capital of the Kingdom of Workhold and the people of Adelia. The Tower however was destroyed during the Borian War by Charles Perickard. Only members of royalty and nobility, and people of Adelian descent were allowed inside the Sacra Adelia. All Knights of the King's Guard who guarded the Adelia, were required to be pure-blooded Adelians and prefferably nobles.
== History ==
The Sacra Adelia was built upon the lands given to the Adelian refugees by King Elridas Parengord of Edelmaa. The Keep was originally just a small fief and Earldom ruled by the Niskain family, but during their time of vassalage, the Niskains and Varjangarias managed to befriend many of the monarch of Edelmaa. This allowed them to increase funding of the Adelia and granted them power to construct a mighty Towerkeep for the Adelian people.
When the Kingdom of Workhold was founded following the end of the Unification Wars, the Sacra Adelia became the Royal Capital of the Kingdom. And succeeding the end of the Edelmaa Great War, when Jiri Baathúr was crowned King of Workhold, he kept the Adelia as the Royal Capital. 
In 293, the Kingdom of Boria invaded Edelmaa and took control of the Adelia, and Charles Perickard proclaimed it as the new Royal Capital of the Borian Kingdom. A year later when King Jiri returned to reclaim his lands, Charles charged the castle with gunpowder and attempted to assassinate King Jiri whilst he was inside the keep. The assassination failed, but tarnished Charles's legacy as now he became the destroyer of the Sacra Adelia.
=== Reconstruction ===
After the Borian War ended, King Jiri hid himself inside the new Royal Capital, Cainwall. The reconstruction of the Adelia fell upon the hands of the Prime Minister, Lothbrok Voorst who ruled from the nearby city of Antikea. Lothbrok was not too concerned with the reconstruction, as he himself was a Waldisian, but still tried to fund it so that the Keep would eventually rise back up. The reconstruction project was completely cancelled in 314 when the War of the Birds began.
