Fort Punish

Fort Punish a small town located in the Northern Wilds and built on top of the Whitehills Mountains. Located to the east of its capital, Minnerath, it is a settlement of the Kingdom of Minnheim. Inside the town, it houses Castle Punish where the current lord/lady sits. Formerly a mining village, the previous lady, Seal of Pearidge, and her companions overthrew the prior lord, and began the work of necromancy and reanimation of the dead inside the town.

History
Originally, the site of Fort Punish used to house a small tribe known as the Punished Antlers. As time went on and with the word of materials to mine, miners and settlers seeking a fortune began slowly migrating into the tribe and established a village. It was not before long when the village found itself under the rule of Minnheim and a lord was placed in charge.

As time went on, no noble family was able to hold onto the wild settlement for long. During times of friction, a ruler would be usurped from office without much effort. Before the arrival of Seal, the lord/lady of Fort Punish would live in a longhouse, which did not do much for protection.

When Seal and her companions took over the village, her rule was with an iron-grip. She raised the dead to keep as loyal guards and slowly murdered off her companions when they got too ambitious. Fort Punish was transitioned from a rebellious mining village into a safe haven for necromancy. The village was far too insufficient to receive aid from the capital which left Seal's rule unquestioned.

During the end of the Conquest of the Living, one of Archon of Deeprun's henchmen, Orocho of the Sisters, heard about the necromancy haven. As he was inflicted with the curse of vampirism and his husband, Creto of Karphago, being an undead servant himself, he set sights upon the village and slew Seal overnight. He seemingly was able to control her undead with the aid of his husband.

Once Archon broke through to Adramalik with a breach into Shadowfell, he unintentionally displaced elves of the shadowy plane into the material plane. Most of the elves were invited by Orocho to take refuge in his village, because of their innate affliction with necromancy.

Castle Punish
Castle Punish was built by Seal of Pearidge when she took over the village. The castle largely consists of a tower that overlooks the entire village and is built on the tallest point of the settlement.

Old Home
This district houses most of older buildings and homes before the rule of Seal. Old Home encompasses most of the population of Fort Punish.

Shadar Home
This district is much newer than its counterpart and is the home of most of the displaced elves that found their way to Fort Punish.

Defenses
Fort Punish's primary defense are the armed necromancers and their undead soldiers that walk the streets. During the night, the streets are protected by the current ruler, Orocho, who afflictions of vampirism leaves his without sleep every night. This gave rise to his nickname, Lord Nightwalker. Fort Punish also has a small wooden wall around it that is actively patrolled.
