[edit | edit source]Casle Oversight
[edit | edit source]The main fortification at Pellak, home to the Knights of the Watch, has been variously referred to as both "Castle Overlook"[1] and "Castle Oversight".[2][3] However, the name (Overlook) also refers to a ruined castle in Bissel at Brookhollow.[4] It is unknown if the site was rebuilt as many others were c.591 CY[note 1] or if it is simply a case where the names are simply local variations of names for the same place, as is common with other nomenclature in the Flanaess.[5] It is also possible a new castle (at Pellak) was given the name of its predecessor (at Brookhollow).
