Ancient Aerdy Watchkeep

Little known history is of obvious note about this keep in particular, unless one search through the tomes of record in Muskrad. In any case, this ancient keep is located north east of Muskrad along the Duvik's Pass Road. When the party encountered this 500 year old keep it was in ruins and was occupied by a few goblins. If one would remove such menace, then the keep could be restored and serve as a outpost for Muskrad's Militia fighters, who would be better to equip with the bandit menace.

Back History of The Great Kingdom
New kingdoms and petty principalities arose in the Flanaess after the twin cataclysms, and the usual sort of wars ensued. Eventually, one tribe of the Oeridian people, the Aerdy, rose to dominance in the Flanaess, controlling almost all of its area. This empire (for such it was), called itself the Great Kingdom of Aerdy, and dating in the Flanaess is from when the Overking was first crowned - we called it the Common Year.

The Great Kingdom serves a role very similar to Rome did in our own world. Since its days of controlling all the Flanaess, it has declined. It is now ruled by the fiend-seeing Naelex dynasty, and only controls the eastern half of the Flanaess, other kingdoms and states having taken over its area. It has slipped into decadence and evil, and now only marginally considers what is occurring past its borders.
