Endivia

Endivia is the ancestral seat of House End. This wooden castle reinforced by rough rocks is built against the southern face och Pandhorn in the most northern parts of Cillion. The Cillion steeds are bred inside these walls.

History
Endivia was built over two thousand years before the Protectors Arrival by Guston End and has been the ancestral seat of House End ever since. It is said that he was the son of a Plain King of Old Landor that came to the north to seek refuge for his wife and daughter. The location and construction makes Endivia a tough castle. But since it's made out of wood it has been burned several times by attacking lords only to be rebuilt by the current lord of the castle, every time a little more reinforced with rough rocks.

Around threehundred years before the Protectors Arrival most enemies of Endivia understood that the castle is nothing but a cold castle with no value to it and therefore it hasn't been under seige ever since.

Castle
The castle is a built around the core tower which is carved out of the mountain itself, standing on a small hill giving a good view over the vast area around the castle. Just down the hill on which the core tower is built lies the great hall and the great stables made entirely out of wood. In front of the great hall the castle square lies with it's magnificent statue of a Cillion steed made entirely out of granite from the mountain. The rest of the buildings are scattered around the courtyard; the smithy and armory, made of rocks, the servants quarters in wood, the kitchen, the library and the guards quarters. The grey walls surrounding the castle rises in an irregular circle now made of stone, since the wooden walls were too easy to raze or burn. On the walls there are a total of six watch towers raising towards the skies, keeping an eye on the moor around Endivia. The only gate is the south gate provided with double portcullis in thick, black steel and a wooden drawbridge for crossing the spike moat or keeping the enemies outside.

The stables
The stables are the biggest and most remarkable building in Endivia in which the Cillion steed is bred and trained by the lord and his family themselves. The knowledge in breeding the strong horses has been past down since Guston End built the castle.
