Castle Drakan

Castle Drakan is the home of Lord Drakan, the vampyre lord of Morytania. Found just north of Meiyerditch, it looms over the Sanguinesti Region and reminds all that are trapped there of the vampyres' dominance. Currently, only four inhabitants can be seen walking inside the walls; three Vyrewatch and a Vampyre juvenile.

Castle Drakan cannot currently be accessed by players due to the walls that surround it. There are also pipes leaking strange liquid to the swamp, these pipes may be related to the Sanguinesti Affliction, which has infected the citizens of Mort'ton.

In the quest Darkness of Hallowvale the player must assist Safalaan Hallow, a member of The Myreque in drawing the castle from the north, west and south. Also below the castle walls at a certain point of drawing the castle, players see a cutscene with Vanstrom Klause speaking to Lord Drakan's relatives and a juvinate.



If a player goes North-East of Barrows, at the very corner, the first floor of the castle can be seen. There are two yellow dots on the map of the balcony; these were thought to be his brother, Ranis Drakan and his sister, Vanescula Drakan. However, if you see to the point with an Orb of Oculus, you can see that these yellow dots are just normal vyrewatch standing under the balcony, if you press the ESC key and very quickly try to right quick while the camera is flashing back to your character, you will find that both of the Vyrewatch are level 130, and has all the normal options a Vyrewatch has. (Talk-to, Examine, Attack) though their purpose is unknown and they never move. If you go in the very far corner possible North-East of Barrows, and click on the rock wall, you will get a messaging saying "You slide back down the rocky escarpment." This is also the case at the stile in the south-eastern corner.
