This freehold was built by the Cat Gang to serve as their capitol and base of operations. It is located deep within the Ostkrag mountains in a fortified location on a mesa nestled between the mountains. The original builders of this natural fortification is lost to time, but the freehold is now ruled by Shump and his followers.

Lord Shump assigned the larger rooms, T1g and T2g for Renly and Giggles, as they have henchmen. T2a would be for Zerkwad and T1a for any quests. T3a and T3g for Mrow as room (lower) and workshop (upper). Castle Shump and its caretakers.

There are several possible settlements adjacent to the hold's fortress.

• On a small plateau, about a mile and a half Northwest of the fortress there is a timber fortified tower with a collection of buildings.
• To the South, the Dwarf town of Dwergontia has around 500 heavily militarized dwarves living in it. The town is run by Father Chanceford, a dwarfish high priest of Mithras.
• * A flock of large (horse-sized) birds live on a mountain to the Southwest. They are kept docile through an Animal Friendship on Ralph the bird as well as regular feedings (Zerkwad pays half upkeep on these 5HD birds).
• To the Southwest, the abandoned village of Goatburg was inhabited by about 100 human goat-herders with an immense number of goats. The village now stands empty, save for a monument to the slaying of the hero Machiste by a hellish hobgoblin warlock posing as a feline.
• To the Northwest of the fortress, a band of powerful adventurers known as the Invincible Gob Squad have built a tower fortress and are thinking about setting up their own freehold.
• To the North set back from a well-travelled goat path, there is a large Roadhouse.
