 “There, straight ahead, with its summit blown off.”
 Not only was it big but wide, perhaps twenty miles from side to side. The walls towered, despite missing their heights, snow-crowned, black and forbidding below. Trickles of smoke rose from several points in the interior.

Urakarn, sometimes called the Black Keep,[1] is the stronghold of the Karnids, a religious sect. It was attacked by the Southern Host by the order of Genjar, son of Caldane, Lord Caineron, in an attempt to make a name for himself. He went against orders from the Host's employer, the King of Kothifir. The Battle of Urakarn was a debacle and led to the capture of a great many Kencyr; the Karnide fanatics attempted forced conversion of many to their religion, which was unsuccessful since the Three-Faced God gave the Kencyr no choice. Many died in captivity, and only a small number escaped.
