Location The Black Keep

[Star Wars Legacies]

Site lore​

The Black Keep is the ancient stone fortress of Ha’rangir’s Chosen. It is situated near the peak of one of Mandalore’s highest mountains and is the final step of an arduous pilgrimage to reach. With high winds and frigid temperatures, it is a place of religious observance and hardship. The Chosen have used it as their main headquarters for thousands of years since their inception, the keep having been built around an eternal flame that is fueled by natural gas.


Description

The Black Keep is a looming fortress of stone atop a mountain that requires an arduous trek to reach by foot. The way is fraught with danger, and many have perished on the steps to the top. In the past, it served as a holy site for the more devout of the Mandalorians, as well as the primary base of operations for Ha’rangir’s Chosen, a monastic order of Mandalorian zealots. Leandros Solus, the eventual Mand'alor, discovered it during a pilgrimage he undertook to atone for his own sins before realizing just what the fortress was.

It is built to last. For thousands of years it has survived the weather, war and creatures of the planet with only minor weathering of the stone. It has been lost, forgotten and empty, but the Black Keep remains for any who would happen to make the trek to find it.

The interior is reinforced stone and durasteel in places to ensure the longevity of the fortress.
