'The Shadowkeep' is what the locals have taken to calling the collection of buildings encompassed by a wooden bailey that has become the center of their community, but as it's said with pride instead of fear, you leave it be. The keep itself is fairly modest, built atop a fairly small artificial hill, made of wood, and only a couple of stories tall, but the ability to fire sling-stones at any interlopers from safety would deter any threats the area is likely to face. The ground floor of the keep is your home should you choose to claim it, and until then is home to the 'Steward', which is a fancy title for a local lad who travelled all the way to Tarshof to learn numberin'. Apart from the local tradesfolk, the bailey also contains a number of newly-built huts and cottages.

[U]The Imperial Gunnery School, Southern Branch[/U]
Between the large amount of gold and the sheer pride provided by Karak Eight Peaks buying large amounts of Nuln artillery, and Kazrik's actions in Nuln alongside the Grand Count of Wissenland, the Karak was able to score a major coup when it came to the crewing and upkeep of those cannons: the establishment of a satellite campus in Karag Nar.

A distasteful but necessary guild of those that collect the waste from privies and cesspits. Briefly part of the Stirland Watch, they were split off once more after Dame Weber was released from the position of Spymaster of Stirland.
