Asheron's Call Manual Text

One of Dereth's newest towns, until a few months ago Lytelthorpe was nothing but an abandoned Empyrean Fortress overrun by Banderlings, led by a human warmonger named Wardiel the Mighty. Recently, however, a band of brave warriors and wizards slew Wardiel, drove out the infestation and claimed the keep as their own. Since then, shops and homes have arisen in the fortress's shadow. Wilder and younger than nearby Rithwic, Lytelthorpe has yet to establish itself. Surrounded as it is by rich farmland, however, it promises to come into its own with the passage of time.

points of interest

Lytelthorpe Keep was built long ago by the Empyrean. At Present, little is known if its history - not even its original name. Until recently, it was overrun by a clan of Banderlings, and had fallen into disrepair. It has been restored and is now claimed by Lord Aleval, one of the towns' liberators.
An unusual subterranean complex lies beneath hte rolling, fertile hills south of town. It appears to be an ancient distillery, constructed by the Empyrean to brew exotic liquors. What drink remains, after the passage of centuries, would be of great value to connoisseurs. In order to retrieve it, however, delvers will have to brave drudges and other beasts who now stalk he halls.
