Monte Castello is a famous fortress in Tilea. [1a]
Garison
Around 500 soldiers defend the castle. [1a] All the city-states of Tilea contribute troops to it. [1a]
History
In 2401 IC, the greenskin horde of Ugluth the Vile attacked the fortress and the Castellan General Galeazzo was killed. His daughter, Mana-Lisi Galeazzo secretly donned his armour, and then led his troops, repulsing three further attacks but during the third she lost her helm, revealing her true identity. The men began to to talk of risking everything in a desperate sally.[1b]
Mana-Lisi, a student of Myrmidian strategy, pointed out that if the Orcs were allowed to enter the fortress they would defile Tintoverdi’s greatest masterpiece, The Five Seasons, which adorned the banqueting room. She asked those who wished to defend the work to remain, whilst the others could go and so shamed by her bravery, the soldiers fought to the last. [1b]
Three months later a relief force from Luccini liberated the castle but Mana-Lisi herself had been slain by a Goblin arrow but 25 of the garrison had survived and held film. [1b]
