Keep of Belladona

Upon an island in a mist-shrouded lake north of Hashan lies the formidable fortress, Belladona's Keep. Within dwells the undead vampiress Belladona, guarded by her faithful Geh'shya.

Upon the lake are marsh vipers and silent apparitions, while just inside the castle gates roam undead spectral guardians. Those who do not watch their step may find themselves in the sewers of the Keep, where crocodiles, giant toads and leeches await.

Much of Belladona's guard is made up of two-headed ogres and vicious hell-hounds, led by the sergeant Grothgar. Near their barracks lies the grisly kitchen under the command of the ogress Helf'ga. The prison cells are guarded by Grollum, a fearsome troll made entirely of steel.

Within the court of Belladona are a variety of well-dressed courtiers, guarded by bull-headed minotaurs and served by imps. Closer to her bedchambers are her favorites: the handmaidens Ephesia, Eritrea, Malorea, and Minorea, who are looked after by Derryk, the eunuch.
