Castle L'Anguille, also sometimes simply called L'Anguille, is a fortified port city of Bretonnia and the capital of the Dukedom of L'Anguille.
The site that would eventually become Castle L'Anguille was originally built by the High Elves as a great trading port known during the time of the War of the Beard as Tor Alessi. Following the exodus of the High Elves from their former colonies in the Old World, few of the original structures of the city managed to survive the intervening millennia until it was resettled by the Men of Bretonnia.[1a]
Locations[]
Great Lighthouse[]
Most spectacular is the lighthouse, over three hundred feet tall and with walls so smooth that, at first glance, the lighthouse looks like a single piece of stone. The walls of the city extend from the lighthouse, rise sixty feet above the streets, and are broad enough for knights to ride ten abreast along the top.[1a]

The harbour of L'Anguille
Elves on their first visit invariably climb to the top of the lighthouse, and none of the lighthouse keepers would dare to stop them. The buildings within the walls, however, are all Human-made and much more recent. The oldest is the castle, built on an island in the middle of the harbour and commanding the whole channel with its siege engines. It is somewhat rundown, as the current Duke of L'Anguille, Taubert de L'Anguille, has not visited in years, as he greatly dislikes the city, but the defences are kept up.[1a]
However, the Brethren of the Lighthouse, a cabal of wealthy merchants who control the politics of Castle L'Anguille, have taken advantage of the duke's absence to build four of their own watchtowers. These watchtowers are small castles, armed with cannons, and designed to give the guns the best field of fire possible. The Brethren of the Lighthouse have also installed gunnery platforms on the ends of the walls. The castellan would complain to the duke, but any response would come through the steward; Godemar Fitzgodric, who is also the head of the Brethren of the Lighthouse, making any objections moot.[1a]
