History
Fort Radwald was built by Calder 'the Worshipper' out of respect for his father, the namesake of the fort. Radwald was a strong a warrior and united the rebelling huntsmen in the First Hunter's Rebellion. Calder suffered a similar problem and he and his brother Ordwaey defeated the huntsmen in the Second Hunter's Rebellion, 691 S.A, and for his bravery, Calder granted his brother the opportunity to create a new house, House Staghart.

Fort Radwald was destroyed in the Imperial invasion of 864 S.A at the Battle of Red Hill, but thankfully was rebuilt in 914 S.A and earned the name The Mondburg.

During the Thorn Years, the fort was besieged by House Thorn in a bid to get a foothold against Brigard 'the Usurper'. During this time the fort was occupied by House Grim.

Geography
Fort Radwald was built on Red Hill, a hurst that came from a wooded dale, Red Dale. It was a easily defendable position with a steep road and clear view across the land.

Fort Radwald is named after Thegn Radwald of House Sieward, his name meaning, "Red Wood". The Mondburg means "Defender Fort", named so as it defends the Red Dale.
