Rockytop Freehold is a basic castle, a central keep with a curtain wall around it and a few small guard towers. The keep is principally defended by terrain, with rocky crevasses, crumbling cliffs and sharp ridges breaking up army groups. A rural keep, it is more involved with local festivals, grain spirits, and hunting traditions than campaigns and war. The township around the castle has a reputation for being lowbrow and inbred. An obscure wizard did create a very powerful and well known spell while working here, though magic is frowned upon by the locals. It's cabbage salad is famous.

"famous for what?"
That is about as excited as I could get about this post.

This seems more like a stub than a sub, not because of its length but its genericalness. Nothing really sets it apart from any other acropolis.

I kind of agree with the others that this post is a bit generic, though I like the detailed bits. Specifically, instead of this: "local festivals, grain spirits, and hunting traditions," I would have preferred one specific such example: "the druidic feasts and white stag hunt" or whatever. Similarly with the sentence about the magic spell. The cabbage soup bit is nice, though, so I at least leave satisfied.
