- Chosen, a sturdy brick-built castle with a 10′ woodwork palisade on all sides, with a large double-gate. Its 50′ outer wall has been improved over the years with murder holes at the main and postern gates, and dozens of embrasures to give defenders a marked advantage. When defended, the hold has never fallen to an attacking force, despite decades of full-scale war in the region.
- The Bridge at Berkworth, a spooky motte-and-bailey castle with a 40′ stone wall on all sides, with a large double-gate. This was historically a welcome stop for traveling merchants and common-folk on long pilgrimages.
- Doldrums of Suffering, a venerable fortress with a 40′ wooden palisade on all sides, with a large double-gate. It has a crenellated stonework wall standing 30 feet high. The defenses are bolstered by a deadly arcane minefield. Viceroy Augustus is buried in the cemetery here, making it a popular pilgrimage spot.
- The Garrison at Bromburgh, an old brick-built castle with a 30′ wooden palisade on all sides, with a small gate. Its well-planned defenses include a 60′ stone outer wall with 7 turrets. Some of the key ditches are filled with an awful mixture of noxious poison and acid. When defended, the hold has never fallen to an attacking force, despite decades of full-scale war in the region.
- Rhoswoodstone, a daunting motte-and-bailey castle with a 30′ wooden palisade on all sides, with a large double-gate. It has a crenellated stonework wall standing 50 feet high. Some parts of the thin outer walls will intentionally fall on a breaching force, burying them alive in tons of rock and rubble. Much of the castle was charred and burned in a forgotten war, and its still-standing stonework lends an unsettling eeriness.
