Capital city of Enning, and seat of Thelvian Tyrkor. A peaceful and prosperous place, though firmly ruled.


Thelvian Tyrkor's city was well laid-out, and bore less resemblance to what it was 'in their day' than any other unruined Northland town. Never having been conquered or fought over, there were no ruins or repairs, but the considerable Elven influences it once displayed had been very thoroughly removed. The result was completely different and very human.

The one exception was the city's walls; built by Elven masons as a defence against the Orc raiders who came down from the Ereans, and captured intact when the city surrendered to the Dragon, the walls were so much better than anything the Dragonarmy could build that Tyrkor left them up.

In the centre of the city was a large lake, apparently created by flooding the old royal palace grounds. In the middle of this rose an artificial island, and on that island was built Thelvian Tyrkor's castle.

Lordsisle had one drawbridge leading on to it, and was heavily fortified. Castle Skaven itself was a formidable concentric structure, layered walls dotted with turrets, offset gatehouses defended by clear fields of fire, traps, murder holes, strategical tricks, the works. Although not a patch on the fortifications of Thornal (nothing was, after all!), Skaven Castle, like Dun Tolk, was a work of defensive genius.
