The Castle of Kostravald

Introduction
The castle is currently ruled over by Count Waldemar Revenfeld(Juhl7701) and his trusted advisor and friend Jakub Vitek(Ragzriff). It is the seat of power within the county of Karred.
== Lore ==
The castle used to be a rundown ruin, but after it was given to the the Revenfelds by the former Count Diviz Taepe of Kanberk, it has been restored. It is placed upon the mountain called The Zelky Peaks. Kostravald is famous for the old statue outside the gate, the statue consists of a man holding an iron and gold block, the origins of the statue is still a mystery.
The origins of the city remain unknown and the count isn’t fond of people investigating the origins. Some speculate the city used to be the stronghold of an old order, while others speculate it was merely an old castle. Although most do agree it is an old and strange castle, with no clear reason for existance, since the castle has no strategic influence upon the area.
== Traditions ==
The traditions of Kostravald are heavily influenced by joran culture, although there are key differences. It is customary to bring a gift, these gifts symbolize the intention of your visit. Animal products would show intentions of a friendly visit and respect for the ruler of Kostravald. However a gift of iron would be seen as the gravest of insults, as you would be insinuating that the ruler is poor and their iron is of low quality.
The residents within Kostravald strongly believe in the old joran tradition of welcoming strangers and letting them dine, rest and bathe. They're almost fanatical when it comes to this tradition, to great dissatisfaction for the count.
== Archeological findings ==
An old stone tablet was once found nearby the castle of Kostravald, by a local potato farmer. It tells the tale of a society, where men had suns for eyes and the women had moons for eyes. When the farmer was questioned by the nearby curious lords where the tablet went, he said the count seized it and threatened to flay him alive and sell his daughters to brothels.
== Economy ==
The Castle of Kostravald is wealthy in earthly materials such as iron and rare gems, although extremely poor in animal products, wood and other materials not easily acquired on top of a mountain. The Kostravald mines fuel the economy of the Duchy of Stribrna Joraje and gather the metals required for the minting of Kanberk Groschen.
