Verigan's Hold

Verigan's Hold is the headquarters of The Templar Order of the Crimson Cross. It is located across the Skull Pass from Mistral City, along the Wall and adjacent to the Desert. For a time, the Carnivale Del Banjo was set up beneath it.

The castle was built by the Crimson Cross to provide a headquarters along the Wall. After the Sand War, Karpath Antioch founded the Crimson Cross, and constructed Verigan's Hold as a staging area for the defense of the Wall. He named it for his father, the war hero Verigan Antioch. One month after the end of the Sand War, Karpath disappeared. The Templars remained in Verigan's Hold to await his return.

One Templar, Adaephon, still lives in Verigan's Hold. He also wrote The Tale of the Sands, which is housed in the castle Archives. It also contains a Map Wall, which was intended to hold Karpath's Map, but the map was lost.
