Castle Eaglehold

History
The castle is presumed to have been built in the very early foundations of the Kingdom of Azeroth (now known as Stormwind). In more recent times, the House of Adrilam claimed it, and made it their home. The castle is located deep in the mountains of Deadwind Pass, near the desolate town of Durnatel. For the locals, Castle Eaglehold was a place to fear, as villagers sometimes disappeared, presumably kidnapped and taken to the castle for unknown purposes.

The castle managed to endure the assaults done by the Horde in the First War and was not affected any further by the dark taint that spread across Duskwood and the Pass. Count Guy of Eaglehold was the last of the Adrilam dynasty to hold possession of the castle, after his life was lost in a vicious raid led by Lord Reginald of Whitehaven. Since Guy's death, the castle remained haunted, presumably due to the experiments and black magic conducted within the fortress throughout the many years.

The Sovereign Order's first affairs with Castle Eaglehold began as various expeditions to explore its ruins, and eventually a purge, resulting in the death of a mad Reginald and the burning of the castle. Despite the flames, the castle prevailed, as did its taint.

Under Clothair Ravenot's governance of the Sovereign Order, the abandoned castle was claimed by him as no rulership of the castle was given to any, most likely due to its broken and haunted condition. The ill omens that traversed the hallways of Castle Eaglehold have since weakened with the Sovereign Order's presence.

Present Day
Clothair Ravenot misplaced his trust in a known of accomplice of Count Guy Adrilam and the Silver Eagle. Averylle Beone convinced him to believe she sought redemption, she assisted him in ridding the evil from the tainted region and vowed to aid the Sovereign Order to triumph over the Silver Eagle.

She was later responsible for the abduction of the pregnant Victoria Ravenot, and while the Grand Master searched for his beloved wife, Averylle Beone gathered the remnants of the Silver Eagle, together with the assistance of a man known as Alduran, and butchered the Sovereign Order from within. A great eruption of magical energy shook the region, and the castle was further damaged, as the darkness once again consumed the region.

Appearance
The castle is built of large flagstones and has many stone columns. It is lit by candles and decorated with paintings and tapestries though, the castle's wards have fallen into a state of decay and ruin. Its libraries and archives burnt from the fires lit by the Sovereign Order a few years prior.

Castle Eaglehold is a large, almost labyrinthine and rotten compound. At the time of the Sovereign Order's arrival, many areas of the castle had begun to fall into ruin. In recent years most of the upper sections have now collapsed, but this has also revealed the underbelly of the castle, a place known as "the pit".
