Rabblegard, also known as Isengard, is a monumental fortress towering over the southern region of Oldeshire. It stands as a striking example of architectural and engineering prowess, located strategically between Venezia Nuova to the north and Lythia University to the south.

Overview

Rabblegard is nestled in a unique geographical setting, with the impressive Mount Sammgard to the north almost mirroring the height of the fortress. Its positioning between two significant locations in Oldeshire adds to its strategic importance.

The fortress is renowned for its grandiose scale and intricate design:

The central tower, crafted almost entirely from natural stone, stands at an imposing height of 170 meters. Intricately detailed, it sits precisely in the center of a ringed walled area. Inside the tower, visitors can explore a library, study, and living spaces, each reflecting the tower's historical and architectural significance.

Encircling the tower is a mighty outer wall with an impressive diameter of 300 meters, serving as a formidable defensive structure.

Located in the southeast corner of the walled area, the Flying Prison is a daunting structure built over a lava pit on towering stilts. The prison, with its 10 cells, is known for its inescapability, adding a layer of mystery and dread to Rabblegard.

Beyond these imposing structures, the space within the walls is surprisingly serene, featuring grasslands and numerous trees.

Adjacent to Rabblegard is a train station, styled similarly to the tower, which connects to the Franco Line and the Empire Line, facilitating access to and from the fortress.

Rabblegard was constructed centuries ago by a wizard named Rabblerouser0, and its history is steeped in the lore of Oldeshire. The fortress's architecture and the wizard's legacy contribute to its mystical and historical allure.

The fortress's northern boundary intersects with Mount Sammgard, a steep mountain almost equal in height to the Rabblegard tower. Inside Mount Sammgard lies a large cavern, adding to the geographical intrigue of the area.
