  1. Aldenheim Castle, domain of House Scarlet and garrison of the Scarlet Husaria, was an ancient fortress, a former post on the Ostian frontier when Ostia was yet young. Since the loss of the province of Kaffspar to the humans and being forced from his lands, Scarlet Ramilies was granted dominion over the castle by Count Thorvald for his service in the war. Though not filled with works of art like the Three Courts, there is some decoration( mostly tapestries, paintings, and statues celebrating Ostian marshal prowess) in a few of the halls, but overall the fortress is a spartan affair, its massive walls and keep cointaining the Husaria's offices, barracks, stables, and armory. The rest of the castle grounds contain the residence of House Scarlet, consisting primarily of the Crimson Tower(now commonly known as the Scarlet Tower) and a more recent addition, the connected manor house, containing Ramilies' chambers and private offices as well as chambers for those of his childer who reside with him. Along the wall closest to the residence lie the Black Gardens, an extensive and thickly wooded park planted by Ramilies from species native to his former lands in the Black Forest of Kaffspar and immaculately tended to, and contains several carefully planned flower gardens, meadows, and ponds. Few outside the Husaria or the upper echelons of Ostian society have occaision to see inside the walls of the castle, and there is many an obscure rumour passed among children and sometimes their elders of secret passages beneath the castle between the walls, keep, residence, guardian, supposed chambers beneath the grounds secretly constructed by Ramilies and some tales are even tolds of passages leading out of the castle into Ostia or even the Empire.
