![[battania 1.png]] # Car Banseth ## Castle of Banseth - Vantage for Spotting Vanished [[Mon]] --- # Backstory & History [[Car Banseth]] sits high on the cliffs of Ailta Druin. Staring north on a clear day, across lands that were once [[Battanian]] ([[High-Kingdom-of-Battania]]) but are now held by the Sturgians ([[Principality-of-Sturgia]]) and Vlandians ([[Kingdom-of-Vlandia]]), one can see the waters of the Bay of [[Varcheg]]. It is said that those who keep faith will one day witness from this high point the ships of the vanished [[Mon]], who shall return to deliver his people from their enemies. But today, one is far more likely to see the sails of [[Nord]] ([[Nord]]) adventurers and mercenaries, coming to assist the foreigners in their relentless push into [[Battanian]] land. This could be the place that [[Fiogrin]] was referring to when mentioned Basciath, Shield-Snack and the hero [[Calain]]. According to [[Fiogrin]]: (See page [[6]].) Over here is where the hero [[Calain]], gripped by battle-madness, bit his shield before fighting an enemy and spit out the rim and formed that clump of rocks, Basciath, Shield-Snack (Not sure where this "Basciath" is, it's a "clump of rocks" so a mountain or hill? Not sure. Could be [[Car Banseth]] as the names sound similar and is directly next to Diantogmail and mentions [[Mon]].) A town of [[High-Kingdom-of-Battania]] owned by Melidir of the [[fen-Uvain]] and governed by Alcaea. --- # Game Files / Developer Diaries "Geunat [[Nal]], the village where [[Nal]] left his head, is a fur-trapping village near the site of a duel famous in [[Battanian]] legend ([[High-Kingdom-of-Battania]]). The villagers are known for their skill as foresters, helping the nearby cliff-top fortress of [[Car Banseth]] to guard the northern approaches to the [[Battanian]] heartland from [[Sturgian]] ([[Principality-of-Sturgia]]) and other raiders." !-- "Town of the Sons of Cyd" --> (!-- "castle of banseth"-->) ![[Pasted image 20240102140400.jpg]]
