Llud's Hall

Llud's Hall is one of the most modern fortifications in Britain, and one of the strongest castles in Britain. Although located in Salisbury, it is a Royal Castle, and as such not answerable to the Lord of Sarum. Though a strategic castle in its own right, its most interesting feature is that it holds the treasury of Logres.

Description
Llud's Hall is a Motte-and-Bailey castle, but with double Baileys protected by with ditches and ramparts. A permanent garrison of well armed sergeants, archers makes sure the walls are kept safe.

Staff and Garrison
The castle is held for the king by a Castellan, currently Lord Baran, and once also housed the Sheriff of Salisbury, Sir Bedwor. With the death of Uther, the Castellan's loyalties and duties are unclear. The garrison consists of knights, sergeants, archers and men-at-arms gathered from Salisbury and Silchester as part of the King's Garrison.

History
Llud's Hall was built by High King Vortigern on the site of an old Roman fort in the latter half of his reign after the rebellion started by his son had been put down. The royal treasury was transferred there, along with much of the plunder of that conflict. No expenses were spared upon the construction, and though the castle can't measure up to the old Roman fortresses, this is seen in its finish. The palisade is built of thick oak with stone ramparts stone, the moat is deep and the towers high.
