Chateau D'Epee

The epitome of Aquitainian fortification, Chateau D'Epee is located almost exactly in the centre of the dukedom. The current Lord D’Epee’s great-grandfather was a highly successful adventuring knight, involved in many feuds. He used his wealth to build a nigh-impregnable castle with several moats, curtain walls that formed a maze of killing grounds, mighty gatehouses, and three great keeps, each of which could hold out against a siege for months.

The current Lord D'Epee lives in the outermost gatehouse, along with his whole household. No one has reached one of the great keeps and returned alive in ten years; it is fifteen years since anyone came back sane. That was the current Lord D’Epee, and he never speaks of what he saw.

He does, however, hire adventurers, asking them to bring him a particular stuffed stag’s head from the closest keep. He offers a significant amount of money and the right to keep any other treasure that they find, as long as they bring the head. Several groups have gone in, but none have yet returned.
