Voer Castle is a fortified site in the Northwoods. It is the seat of the Mannake government.

History

The central fortress, wall and other major buildings were originally constructed by the Corthan governorship that previously administered the region. The consolidation of regional power at this location enabled the Mannakan resistance to overthrow the Corthan forces stationed there and permanently regain control of their ancestral homeland.

Attributes

The castle is composed of several connected buildings:

  • The central keep
  • The hall
  • The barracks and storage facilities

Keep

The main building is a large elliptical keep. It is a two-story masonry structure, with rooms built into the interior of the building, against the outer curved wall. The center is mostly open, and is the main court. It is covered by a peaked roof of heavy timber.

Hall

The hall is a four-story masonry building on the site. It is connected to the northern side of the keep. It houses most of the castle's residents.

Other Buildings

The other facilities on the grounds support the day-to-day activities at the castle and in the surrounding community, and include a barracks, storage facilities, and government offices.
