Wardenfell Fortress

"When the dead rose, we fled to our greatest stronghold. When the men and women of our country rose to defend it, we did so with great purpose. In our victory, we were broken."

- Memorial from the Risen War

Wardenfell Fortress, also known as the Eagle's Nest is the current citadel of the Order of the Blooded Eagle and refugee enclave of the defunct Kingdom of Astheria. Wardenfell was built as one of the oldest strongholds of the Knight-Lords as early as the Leaf Era and is reputed to have never been breached by foreign armies. Its inner sanctums can hold thousands, yet its current occupiers are only capable of filling sections of the great-hold.

From the armory of this great fortress was the reforging and reshaping of the Astherian Army following the initial outbreak of the Plague of Undeath across northern Aiscoria, and while Scyeria opt to abandon humanity to its dark-fate others chose to fight. Men, women and even young children were armed for war lead by the Knight-Lords and joined by the other kingdoms of men in a great war against the Risen Legions, defeating both them and the Risen King of Astheria at the Battle of Aerie Hill.
