Tr'caselle

== Overview ==
Tr'caselle (Formerly Ch'caselle and New Essa'caselle) was the seat of Tr'clan of C'thardjia and Ch'clan and Ly'clan before them. It was located at the southern end of the C'thardji Hills and was surrounded by the city of Vivita. After a fire devastated much of Essa'caselle early into Duke Ly'gasrón's rule, a new, more modest castle was planned and named New Essa'caselle. Soonafter, as Ch'clan came into power, the castle was promptly renamed to Ch'caselle and began developing into a much more grand structure than had previously been envisioned. 
The castle grounds sat above steep cliffs and a deep chasm divided the castle from the rest of Vivita with a grand bridge joining them. Beneath the castle a system of caves provided passage in and out of the keep to those that knew the way. Within them were the castle dungeons with some cells so deep in to the systems that they had been lost to history. Its cliffside location gave Tr'caselle a naturally defended position with only the bridge to the west or a steep ascent from the eastern gate as visible entry points. If attackers attempted to scale the cliffs they were met with towering walls built up from the rock. Prior to the Uprootings, most of these towers had been scaled down or removed entirely at the steepest cliff sides to favour the beauty of the location. 
During the Annexation of C'thardjia, the castle's recent reduced defences were put to the test. Fortunately no assailants could scale the cliffs or the walls and attempts to enter through the cave systems resulted in some men never returning. While the siege was eventually won, this was not the fault of the castle's fortifications and its legend as impenetrable remained.
As of 301 AG, Queen Tr'millian ruled at Tr'caselle as Queen of C'thardjia and Regia of Tr'caselle.
