Vagon Castle sits about one day’s ride from Sarum. It is one of the oldest fortifications of Salisbury except for the old hill forts and Sarum the Rock. It was constructed by the grandfather of Sir Roderick, Rudderch, Dominus Sorviodunum in his early years at a great cost and as a major investment. It works as a secondary defensive position in Salisbury, ready to back up any attack against the Rock by major forces. It usually holds a large garrison and the Castellan, Sir Elad, is also the Marshal of Salisbury, ready to serve the Count as a major defensive force against any attack.
In peacetime, the castle is mostly used to train young warriors and squires.
The castle is a Motte and Bailey without any waterworks. It’s well defended and garrisoned by trained troops all year round.
