Azlanti Keep is a stone fortress in the city of Absalom that is so massive, it is considered by some to be its own city district, although it is not one officially and does not formally belong to any other city district.123 From its elevated vantage point along the northern walls of the city, the citadel is in a prime location to defend against overland invaders.1

In addition to serving as a military stronghold, the keep also houses the city watch and the First Guard, an elite force of warriors, wizards, and scouts dedicated solely to uncovering and quelling threats to the city's safety.1

Structure

The structure draws its name from its distinctive Azlanti-influenced architecture, including wide balconies and an immense flat roof accessible from the inside. These are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also provide platforms for siege equipment.1 This design is believed to have been created by the Last Azlanti himself to protect his newly built city.42 Aroden supposedly imbued the keep with twelve magical defenses that could turn back any threat. However, only three remain active, and no one knows how to activate or use the other nine.5
