Castle Seh was a castle in the Duchy of Urnst.

Description

Castle Seh was the capital of County Seh and is surrounded by the town of Seh.[1] It was not a grand structure by any stretch of the imagination. At best it was a solid fortification against the dangers of the land.

The East-March Ducal Guard was stationed here and protected not only the Castle and the town of Seh, but also the nearby villages like Scarsdale, Tolann, and Vorleen.[2]

The Castellan of Castle Seh was Margren Waithek, Warden of the Eastern Abbor-Alz March, and Knight Commander of the East March Ducal Guard.

Geography

Castle Seh was located in the Eastern Abbor-Alz March. The rocky rolling hills of the area are rich in natural beauty. Cascading waterfalls, lush forests, and stunning sunsets.

History

Castle Seh held an important tactical and historical place in the history of the Duchy of Urnst. Built around a cathedral over a necropolis that had existed longer than the Duchy itself, it was a massive bastion of defense against the forces of Rary in the Bright Desert.[3] The cathedral was one of the Maure family's holdings and was a temple of Wee Jas.[4] It was ultimately destroyed because of this in 594 CY.[5]
