Ebon Keep is a region in Gothica. It is the eastern keep of the two castles, the other being the western Ivor Tower. Compared to Ivor Tower, though, Ebon Keep is in a terrible state of disrepair.
Storyline[]
The Hero and his Dog came to Ebon Keep on the request of Camellia Bluegarden to lower the drawbridge to the keep so her troops could storm it. At Ebon Keep Castle the hero met Tinker Tinderbox, who introduced him to the real Queen Bluegarden. The Queen explained the monarch at Ivor Tower was her evil twin, who had moved the kingdom to Ivor Tower after usurping the throne.
After the defeat of Mungola and the destruction of the false Queen, the people of Ivor Tower returned to Ebon Keep.
