Crosswinds Keep

Crosswinds Keep was a fortified town in the Elserryn Cluster, within the Astral Plane.

Geography
The keep was built on the head of a dead god.

Government
The Stalwart Lions banned entry to githyanki, githzerai, illithids, yugoloths, devils and demons.

Defenses
To gain entry, one would have to swear to leave any regional conflicts outside the keep. In spite of this rule, conflict was common both around and within the keep; the Stalwart Lions protected the place against attack, and were often joined by the patrons.

To counter githyanki raiders, the Stalwart Lions employed five astral ships. Lookouts were often posted on astral balloons, wearing goggles of astral seeing.

History
Crosswinds Keep was built by the Stalwart Lions at some point between and, after Bran Oakenshire pledged his love to Moala Addrell; they departed for the Astral, looking for a place where Bran's lifespan would not lag behind Moala's.

At some point, they retrieved an astral ship from the Pyre, and built others, managing a fleet of five more as of.
