Rose Citadel
A mountain fortress whose red stone conceals a hospice rather than an army.
Rose-colored seams stripe the cliffs beside The Frost Skyline. The citadel was built to inspect packs crossing the eastern passes, then converted after the Rose Mercy when its garrison admitted wounded soldiers from both sides. Its kitchens still maintain separate pots for travelers unable to share salt.
The Sisters of the Unspent Hour shelter exhausted heat-workers here. Sella Halvek sends food, while Aranestel claims inspection rights because the eastern path descends into its territory. One patient remembers the first engine running before the treaty that supposedly authorized its construction.
A mountain garrison admitted wounded travelers from both sides and became a permanent hospice.
A hospice fellowship sheltering people injured by magical work.
A border furnace guarding Brynvale’s most profitable road and its most dangerous secret.
A solitary eastern storehouse where the sea’s approach is measured on the walls.
The northernmost promise in the eastern rescue network.
A root-bound chamber at the heart of Alceria’s disputed history.
