On a hill above the Blue Fork stand the tumbled walls of a castle raised by the Kings of the Rivers and the Hills. Grass and moss have taken the courtyards, and only foundations mark most of the buildings.
A weathered tomb on the summit is said to hold Tristifer the Fourth, the Hammer of Justice, who reputedly fought a hundred battles. Travellers on the road between Fairmarket and Seagard sometimes shelter in the ruins overnight.
