Fort Nibelheim

Named for the Queen's wolf, this castle is Nightfall's headquarters. The Queen and her daughter live here, along with the main body of Nightfall's army, who currently serve as guards. Nightfall wolves who don't have humans yet—namely pups—are confined within the walls of the fort. The fort itself is built to withstand a siege; the outer walls are over five feet thick at their bases and are lined with ramparts to accommodate archers. Unlike other castles, this one is built for war, not for beauty, and it lacks major design common to other buildings, such as gargoyles or elaborate windows.
