Description

The Wizard's Keep is a large fortification in the town of Aydindril in the Midlands. It towers over the town of Aydindril, nestled against a mountain just outside the town. The Keep is surrounding by a yawning chasm, spanned only by a long bridge that is guarded by a large, gaping gate and portcullis. The Wizard's Keep is a refuge, a place where the wizards preserve important things of magic, such as the books of prophecies, and books of even more importance - books of magic and instruction, such as the Book of Counted Shadows. Some of the books are used to teach new wizards, some are used as reference, and some are used as weapons. Other items of magic are kept there also, such as the Sword of Truth, between Seekers. The Keep is sealed by magic; none can enter but a wizard without being killed. Aydindril is a fictional location in the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. ...
