Grandcast Citadel

The Grandcast Citadel is the seat of the Diarchy of Uthodurn, located on Uthodurn's Grand Disc.

Description
The Grandcast Citadel is carved into the stalactite pillars found in the Grand Disc such that it appears like an inverted tower or a tornado. The walls are made of marble. The stairway to the entrance curves around the pillar and is also carved to look like a stalactite.

The entrance to the Citadel is a pair of double doors. The throne room is at the center of the Citadel. It is a large chamber full of pillars, with the two thrones at the top of a large staircase. One throne is stone, and the other made from wood that came from a tree native to Molaesmyr. There was formerly a statue of a massive bull in memory of that city in the throne room as well, but it came to life during the 843 PD apogee solstice. Behind the thrones is a symbol of the Allhammer, which, when pulled, leads to a secret door and a staircase leading down to a small chamber. The chamber door leads to a small statue of a tree, in the elven style, and an escape tunnel back into the city.

When Bells Hells visited the Citadel, it had sustained heavy damage from the former statue.

Campaign 3: Bells Hells
Bells Hells went into the Grand Disc, which had been sealed off following an attack. They learned that a statue of a giant bull had come to life and attacked the people. Imogen invisibly went to the Citadel to see if she could find a pedestal for the former statue to learn more, but the engraving was in Elvish, which she could not read. She noticed the Citadel had taken significant damage, and also detected the thoughts of the creature and found it seemed scared, angry, and lost. The rest of the party joined her. The bull initially attacked them, but Fearne and FCG were able to magically charm it and grant it the ability to communicate. It told them its name was Umudara, that the people had attacked first, and it only wanted to go home to the forest, which Chetney and Deanna realized likely referred to the Veluthil Forest, now known as the Savalirwood. Chetney remained in the Citadel while the rest of the party escorted Umudara out of the city. He carved his initials into the back of the wooden throne, stole several gems, and found the secret escape hatch, which he followed out.
