Dragonsfall

The keep at Dragonsfall was originally built as a seaside palace for a local duke named Thomas Grendel sometime around the time of the second war, and was previously known as the Grendelkeep, in his name. During the Third War, however, it was the site of a historic stalling action by then-general Mizuki Urameshi. This stalling action against the encroaching Mauritanian army is credited with giving the dwarven rebellion enough time to put their plans into action. However, this came at the cost of every Dragon-mounted division in the Coielian army, hence the name Dragonsfall. The population of Dragons in Pern has never since returned to pre-war levels.
