Mastryne Castle (or Castle Mastryne) is a minor settlement in the Welkwood, centered around a four-towered stone castle.[1] Resisting efforts to be absorbed into the political orbit of the Domain of Greyhawk, and fiercely dedicated to the destruction of humanoids.
History
[edit | edit source]Lord Mastryne often leads his black plate mail-clad men-at-arms and others on raids of the buffer zone in the Wild Coast. On some occasions, spies reported that flame strike spells[2] were cast on these enemies, indicating the presence of formidable priests.
Geography

Lord Mastryne claims "a 15-mile radius east of the Jewel River."[4]
People
[edit | edit source]Lord Mastryne has "50 men-at-arms and an unknown number of spell-casters."[4]
