====== Midlands Keep ======

==== History ====

  * Important keep from Old Empire times, at least 700 years old
  * Had a magical barrier guarding the keep
  * Destroyed 150 years ago in a blood ritual starting from the Crypt deep under the Keep.
  * Released magical energies corrupted the ground and made the area impassable.
  * Over the years the barrier kept shrinking as the magic was depleted.
  * Giant eagles in the tower, some of them corrupted by lightning
  * Undeads and animated armors, statues and weapons on lower floors
