Bhaltair Castle

Bhaltair Castle is one of the oldest structures in all of Falhid. It is built like a fortress, and all the inhabitants can live inside for months on end when put under siege.

The castle is 4 stories high with turrets on either corner. The castle is built from a beautiful reddy sandstone that was said to have been bought from over the Great Sea from a foreign country. The castle has beautiful high arches inside, built from white marble. The ceilings are incredibly high, and it is said the architect was killed as soon as his work was finished so his secrets could never be put to another castle.

Most of the windows are glassless and this is castles greatest downfall, in winter it gets deathly cold, and when it rains the whole building smells of damp and mould. In the dining hall, one of the most spectacular sights can be seen, a huge 12 foot high stained glass window, depicting a scene of the Princess Zaira and the elf Payden throwing themselves into the river.
