Citadel
The Citadel was a fortress of the Kingdom of Elanith and the Kannalan Empire in the region of present day River's Rest in the County of Torre.
After the collapse of the Kannalan Empire in 3961, the Citadel became the last bastion of the Kannalan civilization as it was overrun by humanoids. The Citadel and the Kingdom of Elanith (more in name, than true political existence), was under the command of the leader of the Citadel's garrison, known only as the Commander. The first commander was Jaboz Cannfort and the lasted named leader of the Citadel. Per tradition of the leadership, those selected to lead gave up their name for the aforementioned title. The Commander was advised by the Council of Mages on all things magical.
The garrison of the Citadel was reorganized in 4002 by the last Commander into two battalions each composed of three companies named after birds or beasts. The companies were thus named: Boar, Ram, and Thrak; Falcon, Hawk, and Eagle. The beast companies represented a heavy battalion and the birds represented a mobile battalion. Of the six companies, the Falcon company was considered the most elite.
Each company was commanded by one lieutenant, known as First Cord, two sergeants, and twenty-four men, for a total of twenty-seven men. Thus, the total strength of the garrison was one hundred and sixty-two men.
The Citadel, in 4011, fell under the command of the Council of Mages, after the mysterious violent death of the last Commander, and the consequential flight of his favored successor Milah Pradapt who was framed for his death. In 4058, the Citadel finally fell to the combined assault of Krolvin and Trollish forces. Today, its ruins and surviving buildings are accessible through a magical barrier nearby to River's Rest.
