The Kingdom of Blackwood

The Kingdom of Blackwood

The Kingdom of Blackwood is headed by Sir Kerrell Kal'Amar-Forrester the King of Blackwood. In recent years, Blackwood has regained much of its former lands and glory including some new ones. Below you will find a collection of Dagger's research on Blackwood.

The Lands of Blackwood

Blackwood - In general, Blackwood is mostly woods with small villages and a few main roads through. It is fairly plain medieval European with half-timber housing, some goth architecture with occasional high fantasy elements.

  • Fausts tavern: The tavern is located near Karmha Creations in Shadowdragon. It is a larger size sturdy building...looks like any other bar except for the 2 giants who stand guard at the door checking for weapons - Faust
  • Small lotus temples: Where members of the Iron Lotus stay in just about every province. Members of the Iron Lotus are given permission to stay in as they pass through by Faust. Temples are small buildings with training areas and/sleeping space food etc ie a bunch of small monasteries really. 
  • The Three J's Farming Co. (Formerly the five J's and 1 D Mining Co.) -Niel S. Tozier
  • Blackwood Mithril Mine (Likely co-owned by Creathorne

Shalindar Keep 

  • Sometimes Lord Nigel visits his reserved apartments there. - Nigel
  • A great light colored castle a hill with a village below - Has been darkened to gray near black by the presence of the Planar Shield Stone.
    • "Well, I know Shalindor Keep would be made from a light colored stone, for starters. Nigel's family, while studious, would never have wanted a dark, scary home." - Nigel
    • "Hello? My family is the one that ruled Blackwood for centuries! When Nigel was asked to become heir to Alfheim, he turned it over to his adopted son, Aeryk, and when he "disappeared", it became the default home of those who took over leadership of the Duchy, that currently being Sir K and his household. They still keep apartments available for Nigel's use when he comes through the territory." - Nigel
    • NEW INFO!: The keep was sort of remodeled after Sir Dark took it. The keep's facade was darkened by the presence of the Planar Shield Stone.
