Location from When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker
Kaan's fortress in Dhomm — a mountain of black stone with chambers beneath that hold secrets worth killing for.
The Stronghold is a contradiction: a brutal military fortress that contains pockets of genuine warmth. The public spaces are designed to intimidate — cavernous halls, echoing stone, the smell of hot metal. But Kaan's private quarters reveal the man behind the king: carved dragons, parchment, the careful arrangement of someone who values small beautiful things. The chambers beneath the Stronghold hold Slàtra's collected shards and other secrets Kaan guards personally. These underground spaces are the physical manifestation of everything Kaan cannot say publicly — his love for Elluin, his knowledge of Kyzari's true parentage, his grief crystallized into obsessive collection.
A massive fortress of volcanic black stone that dominates Dhomm's skyline. Built for function over beauty — thick walls, narrow windows, heavy gates designed to withstand dragon assault. The interior is surprisingly warm (architecturally, not just thermally) — Kaan's quarters contain carved wooden furniture, personal touches, and the small dragon figurines he makes with his own hands. Secret chambers lie beneath the visible structure.
