Dunstop Castle is of course that fortress at the northwest portion of your Dragon Pass map in the Lunar Empire next to Jaldon's Wrong River at the end of the road from Goldedge. In a major offensive by the Sartar, Dunstop had to be taken within three days. Did they succeed? We're not sure, the history is vague on this point. What we have done is set up the situation as it was for you to find out what may have happened. You can play it out and decide for yourself whether the Sartar succeeded in taking Dunstop before finally being driven out by the superior army from Furthest.
