<h3>At a Glance</h3>
<p>The <b>Castle of Al&#8217;hanar</b> is a crumbling fortress just south of the <a href="https://xaeyruudh.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/sharawood/" title="The Sharawood">Sharawood</a>, inhabited by the <a href="https://xaeyruudh.wordpress.com/2014/09/15/knights-of-the-undying-dragon/" title="Knights of the Undying Dragon">Knights of the Undying Dragon</a>.</p>
<h5>Discrepancy</h5>
<p>The 4e Campaign Guide places the Castle &#8220;Atop a great precipice in the <a href="https://xaeyruudh.wordpress.com/2012/02/10/toadsquat-mountains/" title="The Toadsquat Mountains">Toadsquat Mountains</a>, overlooking the Gulf of Luiren.&#8221;  It also typos or renames the Knights of the Undying Dragon the Knights of the <i>Eternal</i> Dragon.  Given 4e&#8217;s lack of respect for existing lore, it seems only fair that 4e be ignored in cases where it disagrees with previous Realmslore.</p>
