Castle Drakan is the seat of power of Morytania and the stronghold from which Lowerniel Drakan rules the region. Following the events of The Blood Moon Rises, it is claimed by Sugadinti Vitur. The castle was built as a replica of House Drakan's original castle on Vampyrium, which is explored during The Blood Moon Rises.
The walls surrounding the castle are frequented by players who are directed there via master emote clues.
Quests
In the quest Darkness of Hallowvale, the player must assist Safalaan Hallow, the leader of Meiyerditch division of The Myreque, in drawing the castle from the north, west and south. While on the walls the player witnesses Vanstrom Klause speaking to Lord Drakan's relatives and a Vampyre juvinate in the castle's garden.
In Sins of the Father, Vanescula Drakan leads the remaining members of the Myreque, whom she has allied with, into the courtyard of the usually inaccessible castle to face and kill Lord Drakan. Lord Drakan appears on the main staircase and descends it to confront his sister. He quickly subdues Vanescula and incinerates most of the Myreque, before returning to the castle with his unconscious sister, and leave Vanstrom Klause to deal with the few remaining survivors, the player, Safalaan, Ivan Strom and Veliaf Hurtz, although the player ends up having to defeat Vanstrom alone in the courtyard. After Vanstrom's defeat Ivan manages to teleport himself, the player and Veliaf out as the vampyre sentinels start to swoop in, but they have to abandon Safalaan.
Throughout The Blood Moon Rises, players revisit the courtyard multiple times, sneak into Castle Drakan via a secret tunnel with Ivan and Veliaf, and explore the interiors of both the Gielinor and Vampyrium castles. Access to the Gielinor castle is limited to the main entry hall and basement. During the events of The Blood Moon Rises, the Vampyrium castle is explored extensively through a series of puzzles. The final fight against Lowerniel Drakan occurs on the roof of the Vampyrium castle. After the quest, the interior of the Vampyrium castle becomes inaccessible, while the Gielinor castle is permanently accessible (with the exception of its courtyard), with Sugadinti Vitur, Efaritay Hallow, and Vanescula Drakan found inside, along with a portal to Vampyrium.
