Winterkeep

Winterkeep is a large ruin located on the southern tip of the Yal-Tengri and one of the biggest (if not the biggest) city in Taan. East of Winterkeep are the Glittering Spires. On the surface it is little more than fire scared rubble and smashed bits of stone. Underneath is a maze of halls, crypts and passageways. The royal family and retainers would retreat beneath the surface during the winter months and hence the halls were richly appointed.

To the Vil Adanrath Winterkeep is known as Iket Sotha.

History
Winterkeep was built during the Raumatharan Age as a nobleman's estate. It soon became a place for Raumatharan kings. When Raumathar fell it was simply abandoned.
