Fort Witshire and the dungeons below it have been taken over by Hollow Minions loyal to Martine where they are producing Simulacrums in a plot to kill Prince Borelean. The main entrance to the Fort is now barricaded making it impossible to enter except by jumping.

History

From the History of Fort Witshire:

In the very early years after the Olthoi were overthrown, the land was constantly under attack from Tumeroks. Hence, a man named Witshire built a fort upon the ruins of an Empyrean fortress, out to the west of Cragstone. Fort Witshire stood tall and proud for but a short time, for the tumeroks were driven back, and it was soon abandoned. Now it stands alone, out to the west of Cragstone in the fields.
