- The Bailey at Grimescastleton, a once-mighty castle. The castle keep is flanked by 8 bulwarks topped with ballistas. The thick walls of the main structure connect 6 towers, set at regular intervals. The outer wall has a defensive ditch with an arched bridge and flanking towers. Ancient stone guardians stand silent along the main court path, but will spring to life against attackers. Much of the castle was charred and burned in a forgotten war, and its still-standing stonework lends an unsettling eeriness.
- Gooddalewell, a mighty imperial palace. The castle has 3 great towers, each with a trebuchet in various stages of functionality. The walls are lined with oil cauldrons and crested with crenellations and merlons, making it quite advantageous to the ranged defender. The great, deep moat around the outer wall boasts a sturdy drawbridge wide enough for four riders in full war kit. Ancient stone obelisks stand silent along the main court path, but under a skilled mage, they can blast attackers with arcane attacks of fire, lightning and ice. The church here was where Saint Zachary was originally anointed, making the entire site a hotly-contested holy ground.
- The Postern at Arunshireworth, a strategically-placed imperial castle. The castle keep is flanked by 2 bulwarks topped with catapults. The thick walls of the main structure connect 7 towers, set at regular intervals. Its hastily-made defenses include a simple earthwork berm designed to slow attackers and impede siege engines. The main drawbridge is broken in the down position, forcing defenders to barricade the gate against attack. This was the location where Earl Cloud made his ill-fated last stand.
- Unbroken Grove, an old imperial castle. The castle keep is defended by 6 round towers, each with a mangonel in various stages of functionality. The walls are lined with oil cauldrons and crenellated points for archers and crossbowmen. The open fields to the front of the keep is defended by 10 long walls set in a wide, zig-zag pattern. The entire structure was rebuilt after being razed to ashes in the Wars of the Lizardmans.
- Harbridge Crossroads, an archaic imperial palace. The castle stands proudly and fearlessly, with 14-foot-thick main walls, nearly 550 feet tall at its highest point. Recent repairs to the outer walls are evident, with crude rock and mortar as a stopgap to fill in breached points. The warm hearth of the main keep has been an attraction for weary travelers for ages.
