Alekas Keep

Discovered by the Adventuring Guild of Eskarya, the four floored castle keep was reinforced with battlements and a turret tower and the bottom floor protected by arrows slits to defend against invaders.
The outer wall form an almost perfectly squared barrier around this marvellous castle and are connected by enormous, vast walls made of stone. Small windows are scattered thinly around the walls in fairly symmetrical patterns, along with symmetric holes for archers and artillery. A moderate gate with wide wooden doors and archer holes guards the last stronghold along this rough shorelineand it's the only way in, at least to those unfamiliar with the castle and its surroundings. Fields of nothingness stretch out outside the castle, allowing to see people coming far before they pose a threat. This castle has clearly been around for at least a thousand years, but it doesn't seem like it will collapse any time soon.
Upon discovery, the Adventurer's Guild found the keep to be habituated by Gnolls from the Horde of Fenrir. A trapped keep, with the favoured death of pits filled with snakes, the keep was eventually cleared of monstrous creatures and claimed by the Empire of of Eskarya.
After further expeditions, the once ruler of this castle was found in his stately home further north. Upon courteous introductions and supper, it was revealed that Alekas was no mortal being but a vampire residing away in isolation with his wives, along with an imprisoned mindflayer of the other worlds.
