Krak al-Niraan

Krak al-Niraan, or the Castle of Flame, was an important military stronghold of the Brotherhood of the True Flame in Zakhara in 1367 DR.

Though not the main seat of power for the Brotherhood, Krak al-Niraan served as the hub of the Brotherhood's sinister influence among Al-Badia and the Free Cities of Zakhara.

Location
The keep's stark towers rose from the broken hill country along the very edge of the Weeping Desert in the Haunted Lands.

Defenses
The skilled wizards of the Brotherhood wove special spirit wards into the stones of the fortress, preventing any undead from approaching within 100 yards (91 meters) of the perimeter.

History
Krak al-Niraan was constructed centuries in the past to protect a vital trade route passing through the Weeping Desert which during that time was actually a fertile land. The flame mages of the Brotherhood claimed the abandoned fortress for their own during the 1350s DR. The Brotherhood quickly added their own imposing fortifications to solid foundation of the ancient ruins.
