The Gost Citadel
Home to the Knightly Order of the Black Veil
(The Black Veil Knights are Brightshore's Purple Dragon Knights option from the Sword Coast's Adventurer's Guide.
Simply replace the words “Purple Dragon Knight” with “Knight of the Black Veil” when reading the descriptions.
However, you do not need to take this class to be a member of the citadel. If you're interested in joining reach out to Nickolas - PC/DM)
The Gost Citadel is one of the largest lots of private land within the city walls of Brightshore.
It is located in the heart and center of the tower district and is owned by Lord Knight Sir Galvan Gost, Head to the Knightly Order of the Black Veil. It was awarded to him by the council for his contributions to the economy and positive efforts toward the enrichment of the City of Brightshore.
The first and foremost goal of Gost Citadel and the Order of the Black Veil is to serve the peoples of Brightshore, even if it means questioning the laws or powers that be. They are one of the largest employers of displaced River District workers and new Brightshore arrivals. You'll find them often seeking the most dangerous and lucrative work, but donations from the estate are distributed widely. They have invested in shelters for the destitute, the temples of the four, and in a school called the Gost Academy at the Cleo Catra House. Individual families have also been selected for aid during Galvan's time volunteering as a manual laborer in the River District.
The lot is still a construction zone, being built from the ground up. At this time it contains the large ruins of what was once a grand three-story mansion, a stable, two-story servants' quarters, garden and topiary. Some space has been established for use including:
- Some rooms and basement in the servants quarters.
- Wine cellar and attached rooms beneath the main house kitchen.
- The Sun Room, a noble prisoner's quarters which locks from the outside.
