Although intact, this castle has been decommissioned from use as a military installation, as part of a treaty between Vilan and Orchalannon. It is considered a "Customary Ruins" for legal purposes, so that the land is open to all travelers, provided they do not openly carry arms. The town itself is quiet, small, and exceedingly peaceful. It houses traveling nobility, and is known for its gallery of statues (NSFW).

The surrounding village (Dale) is peopled by an intermingling of the people north of Old Basom and Viltmank. Here more than most places, it is remembered that the two peoples were once as one, sundered though they are now by political differences.
