Swordpoint

Swordpoint was a large, intimidating stone fortress, that served as home for the Archenriders under command of the Red Sword. It was also the building from which the Swords of Archendale presided over and and led Archendale as a whole.

Location
This old, dense stone keep was located on a rocky outcropping that loomed over the city Archenbridge, and its main routes of entry, the West Road, Dawn Post and River Arkhen.

Structure
Swordpoint featured massive, dense stone walls that have in crumbled in many places since its construction. Despite its wear over time, it was heavily equipped with catapults and ballistae.

History
The keep of Swordpoint was originally constructed in 9 century DR by the robber baron Sangalor the Crag, before the bridge over River Arkhen was constructed by Naiden Stonewright.
