Altair Pass (ruined castle and barony)

Steel Realms

Altair Castle once stood proud at the south side of Altair Pass – the best way through the north Altain Mountains to South Cut and onto the Aaldian Plateau. Now the castle lies in ruins, brought down by the blade of legend Stone Cutter.

The pass and lands of the barony are a frozen wasteland of roaming spirits, broken bones and everyone that once lived is incased in hoar frost. Though the ancient fallen barony is on the south side, its frozen covering makes all consider it part of the Hinterlands rather than the Heartlands. It is cursed, and the very ground swallows the undead, and the biting cold eventually killing anything that lives. Only the spirits of the restless dead wander its confines.
