Fortresses of the Crowndom

Daratag

The royal palace of Mehirea, in Kanana. Built as a fortress long before it became the seat of royal power — its walls have stood proud and indomitable against every storm, literal and political, that Book One throws at it.

The Judar

Fortress of the Covenant of the Jud, atop the highest mountain in Deeja. Effectively impregnable, home to the Amulet of the San of Talorad.

Shamandar

Seat of Dar Samasar, on the Leften Coast. Home to the Seasprings, marked with twelve notches — one for each hour of the day, twice over.

The Barrier

Seals the Scruff, the narrow pass between the Mage Mounts and the Tar Mounts, separating the Crowndom from the cursed sands of purged Salarad. Guarded eternally by the Sentry, whose vow binds them to the wall until "the sands may take me, but now I remain."
