Candlehold lies north of Argentum, at the end of a road that leads nowhere else.1 It is a military fort, the forward operating base of the Dragoons of Bahamut.2 People can be held there: Dalric Ironmark feared that Luma’s drawing of a double crescent moon coin alone could get him, Luma and Hazel all thrown in Candlehold.3
History
Session 16
Amber Deepdraft told the party on 3 Nightdeep, 1714 PSF, that Luma had lost her job instead of being hauled off to a cell at the Order barracks or Candlehold.1 Asked about purification, she said it might be done at Candlehold. On rare occasions a small caravan leaves the Order of the Lantern barracks, usually in the early morning, through the northwest gate and up the road that goes only to Candlehold.1 A contact of hers said the barracks was built by that gate for that reason.1 The party had passed Candlehold a few times, across the river.1
Session 17
Rhea Larnas told Temerity on 7 Nightdeep, 1714 PSF, that the Dragoons of Bahamut do a lot of staging at Candlehold, and that it is where mages are sent. Its position suits it to several roles: it is a military fort first and foremost, and does not also have to serve as a city.2 The High Censor there is the sister of Mika Voss.2
