History¶
Built by Lucien Alvaro de Castillon during the Avari's rise to power, motivated by a desire to secure his family against the threats his growing power was generating. Following Ava Montclair's death in 1249, Elias Castillon was raised here under the Avari's empire.
The castle remained the centre of Avari administration throughout the empire's rule.
