Fenrow

– The Fractured Bastion

Fenrow stands as a shattered relic of an ancient stronghold, perched amidst jagged rocks and whispering winds. The walls are weathered and broken, their once-proud towers hollowed out by time. Vines crawl over crumbling archways, and faint traces of footsteps mar the dusty stone. Shadows pool in darkened corners, while faint murmurs, like the echo of forgotten voices, linger in the cool air.

Points of Interest

1. The Fallen Hall
The largest chamber in the ruins, its ceiling collapsed long ago. A faint, acrid smell wafts from cracks in the stone, and strange, unidentifiable symbols are scratched into the walls. In the center, a broken stone altar hints at rituals that may have shaped the fortress’ fate.

2. The Weeping Gate
This heavily weathered entrance is adorned with eroded carvings of mournful faces. When the wind blows through its twisted iron bars, it creates a haunting, almost human wail. A trail of dried blood leads just beyond its threshold.

3. The Sunken Stair
A spiral staircase that descends into darkness, its lower steps flooded by murky water. A faint light flickers at the edges of vision below, as though something waits in the depths. The air grows colder the closer one gets.

4. The Skyvault
The remains of a tower open to the sky, where only shards of its roof linger like jagged teeth. Mossy stone benches encircle the base of the tower, and faint lines of chalk spiral outward from its center. Birds roost here but flee at the slightest sound.

5. The Whispering Hearth
An ancient fireplace set into a corner of the ruins, its chimney long broken. At certain hours, faint whispers can be heard emanating from within, though no source can be found. Scorch marks outside suggest fires have been lit here recently.

6. The Shardpool
An unnatural pool in a sunlit clearing, where shards of shattered glass glimmer beneath its surface. The water is icy and impossibly clear, yet when disturbed, ripples reveal distorted reflections that linger too long.

7. The Bastion’s Claw
A jagged outcropping of stone that juts out from the ruins, resembling a massive claw. Scratches along the rock suggest climbing attempts, though many trails end abruptly at its edge. The view reveals miles of untamed wilderness—and something moving far below.

8. The Keeper’s Den
A low chamber beneath the ruins, accessible only through a narrow crawlspace. The walls are lined with gnawed bones, both human and animal. At the center sits a nest-like structure of debris, as though something—or someone—still calls this place home.
