Keep of the Immortals

Westerpark District in Seregon

The Keep of the Immortals, located in the Westerpark District, serves as a significant enclave for dragonborn within Seregon. Positioned next to the government building, it ensures that new dragonborn register upon entering the city, adhering to the strict monthly quota. The Immortals of Karsis, a group that has known no life beyond their comradeship in living and fighting together, find solace in the enclave, preferring to remain with their kind rather than drift into the city.

This enclave operates as a training camp, with facilities such as barracks divided by dragonflights, a dining hall, infirmary, and training grounds. The Immortals uphold the tenets of self-sufficiency, continual self-improvement, and the maintenance of honor, principles that guide their daily lives and interactions.

However, the large presence of dragonborn mercenaries has sparked tension within the ward, particularly among the leadership on Temple Way. These leaders have raised complaints with The Assembly, though the Assembly finds it beneficial to keep the temples in a state of discomfort, especially since some priests have shown a tendency to overreach their power.

Reasons to Visit

  1. Soldier

    • Connection: A character who served with or trained alongside the Immortals of Karsis may have a deep bond with this group. They could be a former recruit, a veteran who now mentors younger warriors, or even a non-dragonborn who earned their respect through shared battles.
    • Potential Role: They might visit to seek guidance, reunite with comrades, or fulfill an oath of honor to the Immortals.

  2. Outlander

    • Connection: A dragonborn traveler seeking kinship and purpose might have grown up in the wilds and found their place among the Immortals of Karsis. Alternatively, a non-dragonborn raised by dragonborn might have ties to the Keep as their cultural homeland within Seregon.
    • Potential Role: The character could return to reconnect with their heritage, rekindle relationships, or participate in training or rituals central to dragonborn culture.

Reasons a Character May Wish to Visit the Keep of the Immortals

  1. Training in Combat or Tactics

    • The Immortals of Karsis are renowned for their martial skill and disciplined lifestyle. A character may come seeking advanced training in weaponry, tactics, or the philosophical tenets of honor and self-improvement that the Immortals embody.

  2. To Register as a Dragonborn Resident

    • Dragonborn characters new to Seregon are required to register at the Keep, aligning with the city’s regulations. This could be a formal introduction to life in the city or a chance to forge alliances with their dragonborn kin.

  3. Investigating Political Tensions

    • With complaints raised by Temple Way leadership and the Assembly's deliberate balancing of power, the Keep could be a hotspot for political intrigue. A character might visit to uncover plots, mediate disputes, or exploit tensions for their own ends.

  4. Recruitment for a Dangerous Mission

    • Characters in need of elite warriors for a perilous quest might visit the Keep to hire members of the Immortals of Karsis. Negotiating with these honorable and disciplined mercenaries would require respect and careful diplomacy.

  5. To Resolve or Fulfill a Debt of Honor

    • The Immortals place immense value on oaths and debts. A character may need to repay an old favor, seek restitution for a past slight, or hold one of the Immortals accountable for an unfulfilled promise.

The Keep of the Immortals is more than a military enclave—it is a bastion of dragonborn culture and honor, offering opportunities for characters to delve into rich traditions, martial discipline, and the political dynamics of Seregon.
