Desolation:

Caer Darrow

In the middle of Darrowmere Lake is a solitary island: the Isle of Darrow. The keep of Caer Darrow, perhaps the oldest Human monument in the world, stands upon this isle. When leaders of the Alliance ordered its citizens to evacuate, the Barovs defied their superiors and were determined to defend their keep. When remnants of the Alliance reformed into the Grand Crusade, they denounced it, calling its leaders cowards. Instead, they opted to support the Scarlet Crusade led by Alexandros Mograine who is based in the beseiged city of Stratholme.
