Barren Keep is a keep in the Kingdom of Nyrond.

Description

By Spring 585 CY Barren Keep was a half ruined keep standing in the middle of nearly a hundred square miles of semi-barren land supporting only scrawny grass. The land was not farmed by anyone, and was allegedly cursed and certainly infertile.[1] The keep was said to be haunted.[2]

In Spring 585 CY Cunhal Blackmar was hiding out in the dungeons there with a group of half a dozen young nobles planning to overthrow corrupt and weak rulers of Nyrond, and supported Prince Lynwerd taking over as a king. From the keep they rode out masked fighting the bandits plaguing the northern lands, ranging as far as the Flinty Hills.[2]
