The battle that had killed High King Castor had taken place nearly fifty years ago. Nodaria had been the last kingdom to fall to Praiton. “Castor was one of the most powerful High Kings—save maybe for High King Ulf in Bridah. But he not only continuously held the top floor of the palace, Atlas Keep, above the clouds to help with their astronomers’ stargazing, but he also kept it permanently at the twilight hours. When he died, they said the top floor came tumbling to the ground.”
