Citadel Rashemar

Citadel Rashemar is a ruined village in the Sunrise Mountains in east Rashemen. It began as a ring-shaped fortress until it was besieged by the Tuigan Horde and although the horde was conquered, the village was never rebuilt.

Present day
As of 1374 DR, the fortress is in a ruined state, with most walls and buildings heavily damaged, inhabited by goblins and monstrous spiders. The keep remains partially intact, and its upper levels are inhabited by goblins. Its lower levels are the home of Chaul, an evil spellcaster, and her ally Durakh Haan.

History
Citadel Rashemar was constructed to be a ring-shaped walled fortress on a hill with a diameter of around 300 yards, with a stone keep. It garrisoned around 2000 Rashemi troops. The keep was connected via underground passages with towers in the outer walls.

Tuigan invasion
In 1359 DR, the Tuigan Horde invaded Rashemen. Its main invasion force continued deeper into the country, leaving behind 5000 attackers to lay siege to Citadel Rashemar. The defending troops held out for three months but then succumbed, and the horde slew everyone who remained inside the fortress, destroying its walls and buildings.
