Upper Blood Keep

The Upper Blood Keep constitutes the internal portion of Blood Keep, in additon to its helipads, which can be found in the north-west corner and mark the spot where players first enter Grothmar Valley during the Bound by Blood story. Within this practical brick and metal building can be found the Blood Legion's barracks, dining area, fahrar, War Room, and Imperator Bangar Ruinbringer's office.
