The Dreadfort, sometimes referred to as Castle Maekar, is the ancestral home of House Maekar and a major military installation of the Balancín Kingdoms. Stationed on the border between Balancía and Shipley, the castle is the seat of power for the Duke of Mountbatten. Historically, the Dreadfort has been a major hub for military activity. In particular, it was the headquarters for Lancastrian-Maekar military forces during the 3021 War of the Balancín Succession. The Lord of the Dreadfort is currently Zacarias Maekar, the Duke of Mountbatten.
Built in the 2800s during the Pius Revolution by Queen Elisa II. It was conquered by the first Lord Maekar, known as Maekar the Brutal, on behalf of the Crusade to restore King Antony Edmund II. Since, it has passed down through the House of Maekar to Lord Zacarias. Zacarias' son, Roberto, died in 2996 and so the heir to the Dreadfort is Roberto's only child, Mary Maekar - the former Queen who abdicated in 3022.
