The Darkstone Castle hunting area is nearest to the town of [[Wehnimer's Landing]]. It is found on the Tsoran map [[:Image:WL-darkstone.gif\|WL-darkstone]]. As of the events of Octaven, part of this original map is no longer accessible. Only the castle itself was moved to the Bleaklands, beginning with the drawbridge room. The initial areas of the Gorge and Cavern (with centaurs and the external roa'ters) is presumed to be destroyed and no longer accessible.

	'''Darkstone Castle''' was built from the ruins of an older castle by a sorcerer named [[Estrion]] near [[Wehnimer's Landing]]. The results of the dark experiments conducted there still reside in the castle in the form of [[huge mein golem]]s, [[stone gargoyle]]s, [[stone sentinel]]s, and the like. Estrion was killed while attempting to destroy the world, after he was abandoned for his failed betrayal of [[Sheru]]. It is believed that his ghost still inhabits the castle, and was summoned there once by a Tehir spiritcaller.

	[[The Dark Path]] would not have had such a temple (unless mockingly) if it was using the castle at the time it was sieged, nor would have it been built by other members of their family. Its haunted ruins and monstrosities would be the meaning of "[[The Legend of the Necropolis of Etrevion\|sorcerous intervention]]" by [[Bandur Etrevion]].

These possibilities would be easy to distinguish if old logs were discovered of the original castle, so it is clear how the room descriptions were changed. For example, the stone pedestal in the Great Hall with its demonic reliefs and the unstable void above it is a [[Lord of Essaence]] style gateway, and would strongly suggest Bandur if it was present before Estrion.
