Riftgard Fortress
Riftgard Fortress was a large redoubt made of stone on the edge of a fjord in the Riftgard kingdom. It was located near mountains in the far north, and it was at least partially bordered by pine forests. Riftgard Fortress was ruled by the white Pure Ferrets, including King Sarengo, King Agarnu, Prince Bladd, and the bloodthirsty Princess Kurda.
Riftgard relied on slave labor to function. The fortress was guarded by the Ratguard, who also directed the slaves.
After Triss, an escaped captive, freed the slaves from the Pure Ferrets' rule, they adopted Riftgard as their new home. It became a community similar to that of Redwall Abbey.
