Storm's Keep
The main stronghold and current headquarters of the Knights of Takhisis is located far north and west of the continent of Ansalon, on a vast rock peak somewhere in the Sirrion Sea. The fortress is difficult to discover, for the elements themselves guard it. The goddess Zeboim and those creatures of the deep loyal to her make certain that no unwanted visitors arrive by sea.
Storm's Keep is immense and impregnable. Some say the fortress was dragged up from the bottom of the ocean floor by Zeboim, as a gift to her son Ariakan. The less romantic maintain that since the structure is similar in design to those favoured by the minotaurs on their isle of Mithas, the knights probably hired minotaurs to build it.
The fortress is not marked on any map. Lord Ariakan has forbidden the making of such maps, knowing that they could conceivably fall into the hands of enemies. The only two outsiders - Tanis Half-Elven and Caramon Majere - purported to have slipped inside the fortress, travelled there on dragonback during a storm-ridden night and are unable to give any indication of the fotress' location.
The layout of the fortress itself is also unknown. Arriving in the confusion of a mock battle, fearful for their lives, Tanis and Caramon were able to furnish few details, beyond the estimation (given to Lord Gunthar) that a direct assault launched by the combined armies of the people of Ansalon, including the good dragons, would likely have no more effect on the fortress than the raindrops that constantly pelt it. (Lord Gunthar, naturally, believes Tanis Half-Elven to be exaggerating.)
It was hoped that Sara Dunstan, the only person ever known to have escaped Storm's Keep, would be able to furnish detailed drawings of the fortress. But - fearful for the life of Steel Brightblade, the young Knight of the Lily whom she loves as a son - Sara has thus far refused to reveal any of the keep's secrets. She is, of course, in hiding for her very life.
It is either known or assumed that the fortress has barracks for the housing of the knights; outbuildings where live servants, slaves, and workers; storehouses; a stronghold for the wealth of the knighthood; stables for horses; a large courtyard; an infirmary; several turreted main buildings with watchtowers; and, at the heart, the Temple of Takhisis. An enormous wall, which appears to have been built of the same rock as the peak on which the fortress stands, surrounds and protects it.
In addition, the Conclave of Wizards speculates that the Knights of the Thorn have their own magical Tower of High Sorcery located on this isle. Here are stored all books and scrolls and other magical artifacts, many of them undoubtedly newly created by the Knights of the Thorn. The conclave estimates that the knights have spent much time and research on the development of magical weapons of tremendous destructive power.
The Knights of Takhisis are not confined to this one fortress. Groups of them are currently abroad in Ansalon. Secret, hidden - even from other forces of darkness in Krynn - the knights and their Dread Queen are quietly preparing to conquer the world.
