Built by Angar Hulmaster, Griffonwatch glowers over the town of Hulburg, a mile from the harbor, perched atop a rocky spur of the eastern ridge. It is the home of the ruling Hulmaster family, the training and barracks of the Shieldsworn, and a place of refuge when the town is in danger of attack. While it is not very well situated to guard the city against attacks by sea, it faces north, inland, a defense against the savage orcs, ogres, and other monsters who dwell in the desolate hills and moorlands of Thar.
