For years it lay silent, a ghost in the shadows. Over time it faded away to a bare remnant of its former glory. The walls stood abandoned, forbidding, lonely. Its name became only an old-timer's memory. But it was not ready to breathe its last. It would not be silenced any longer.

...and in the darkness something stirred.


The regal castle sits atop a high cliff overlooking the icy northern sea. The gray stone walls stand strong, bold flags fluttering in the wind. The great doors are ahead, tall and solid. On the wall top, the watchful Sentinels look over the land.

Inside the castle, the bustling main hall is noisy and active. The great fire pit in the center of the room burns bright. This is Fort Nightshade.

Anthem of Fort Nightshade
Written by Snowstar Fleetpaws

At the edge of a majestic forest,
Lies a castle, strong and grand.
Where dark creatures never rest,
And their names are feared throughout the land.

Across the restless, dangerous sea,
Lies a castle, strong and grand.
Where evil beasts let none go free,
And blood runs through the sand.

The treacherous castle, strong and grand,
That lies at the edge of a perilous glade,
And high above the bloodstained sand,
Is the marvelous fort called Nightshade.

Ruled by wolf with snow-colored fur,
The castle, strong and grand,
Is a haven to any evildoer,
And the riffraff of the land.

So come to Nightshade if you dare,
All those as evil as nightmare.
You will find a harmless welcome there,
But be you gentle goodbeast, beware.
