Setting

Calvarre Fortress
"A rebel refuge and home to Asher Thrawn."

Light's Deep is a large valley in the Southern part of Ashmere (Three - four days ride from Wolfiel). The valley are blocked over its entire width by a natural series of hills called Light's Peek and behind that lay the fortress of Calvarre, at the entrance to the Black Caves.

A long causeway wound up to the great gate of the fortress itself. Inside the keep there are stables and an armory, as well as a great hall in the rear which was dug out of the mountainside. The Deep which stood next to the fortress was barred by the long Deeping Wall , which consisted of solid rock except for a small culvert which allowed water from the Deeping Stream to enter; this rendered a fresh supply in sieges of great length. Access to the fortress from within the Deep was made possible by a long stair which led to Calvarre's rear gate, where there was a massive system of caves behind the fortress.

Places

Tent Area

In this semi-large area there were about three hundred tents packed together where all the people inside of Calvarre live. Here they prayed, ate and worked all day, not as slaves but as free people with a honest goal in mind. In the northern part of this area there were also a larger tent where one could seek shelter when wounded or felt ill. Close to one of the eastern stairs that lead up to the lower outer wall there was a poorly built smithy where the smith would make all sorts of weapons, tools and equipments that were crucial if there would ever be a siege of some sort.

The Great Hall

This hall was built by the dwarves particularly to the human lords humbly request as the crown on the jewel of their work. It's literate with red and dark brown carpets hanging from the walls as well as marble floor that glittered brightly when the sunlight from the several windows shone down upon it. In the middle of the hall there was a large table where twelve big men could sit and still have room to move their arms and at the end of it there was a dark green and brown colored throne that was broken in pieces; Unrepairable. This is were Asher and other important key figures discuss their next move against Azrael.

Black Cave

The Cave makes up for it's name. The wind howls so often in the cave that no fire could be lit there without being extinguished in a few seconds because of the strong winds. It's pitch black and it's full of giant spiders and small insane goblin war bands that hunt the spiders in the dark with their dark seeing eyes using any kind of weapon they get a hold of. It's a dangerous if not suicidal path to take, but it's also the only rear exit if Calvarre would ever fall from a siege.
