Location from The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb
A border fortress between the Six Duchies and the Mountain Kingdom — the gateway through which Kettricken came and through which Fitz's fate was often redirected.
Moonseye is strategically important and consistently neglected — a metaphor for the Six Duchies' relationship with its borders. It guards the pass to the Mountain Kingdom and serves as a checkpoint for trade and diplomacy. The fortress is cold in ways that have nothing to do with altitude; the stone seems to drink warmth.
A stone fortress perched in the mountains at the border pass. Cold, wind-scoured, and perpetually understaffed. The kind of posting that ambitious soldiers avoid and loyal ones accept without complaint.
