Location from Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence
The fortress Jorg takes as his first real stronghold — a mountain castle that becomes his base of operations and Miana's domain when he rides to war.
The Haunt is the castle Jorg captures in the highlands and makes his own — his first real acquisition, taken by force and held through cunning. It becomes the seat of his growing power and Miana's administrative center. While Jorg campaigns across the Hundred Kingdoms, Miana rules from the Haunt with a competence that ensures the kingdom doesn't collapse in his absence.
A mountain fortress — defensible, remote, and built into terrain that punishes attackers. It is less grand than Tall Castle but more practical, more honest about what it is: a place to hold against the world. Miana makes it a functioning seat of government while Jorg makes war.
