At a wind-beaten crossroads, this small but stubborn fortress has stood for generations. Traders passed through its gates, patrols rode out from its walls, and raiders broke against its defenses. It has seen fire, siege, and desperation — but never defeat. 

Some say it’s the terrain — steep hills and narrow paths guard its flanks. Others credit clever construction: overlapping lines of fire, narrow stairs, choke points. Or maybe it’s luck. Maybe it’s simply never faced an army large enough to truly test its limits.

But that may be about to change.

Smoke rises in the west. Stories of warbands razing even fortified towns drift from tavern to tavern. The question is no longer if, but when. 

Will these walls hold once more? Or is it time to reinforce, expand — and make it really unbreakable?

There’s an old tale of a mountain fortress where five defenders held off three hundred attackers for days, thanks to nothing but stone, steel, and a clever layout. If your castle is to endure, you'll need all three — and perhaps a bit of that same stubborn defiance.

This set gives you everything to begin — or to rebuild. A stronghold not of crumbling dreams, but of lived history and coming war.
