Riverrock

Riverrock
Built by magic at the end of the reign of the Rommulite Empire, Riverrock has benefited from magically enhanced fortifications and architecture. It straddles the fast running river Rox, holding ownership of the only safe crossing point of the entire river. As such, it serves as the guardian between the Sellederre Empire and the Grand Imperium Arcarnum.

Politically, Riverrock does not pay allegiance to any other power, and is instead ruled by a council of knights. Those knight pass their title to their children upon their deaths, and new members are very rarely admitted to the council, meaning that numbers have dwindled over time. It is expected that the council shall eventually reach a single member, or else be forced to change.

Currently, Riverrock refuses to allow members of either the Sellederre Empire, nor the Grand Imperium Arcarnum to pass the river Rox, a diplomatic move which has allowed the castle to remain neutral in the conflict.
