The day was chilly with the threat of winter upon them. Alcon was the farthest kingdom in the north. Moonstone Castle sat a little less than halfway between the start of Highlands and the south lands; where the king's court was located. It was the closest territory to the boarders of the palace.
Originally, the palace was located in the highlands, by the sea. It often experienced the sea's wrath, but was well fortified. As the kingdoms expanded, they had begun trading with one another. It was decided that the entire capital was to be moved, abandoning the land and castle. Making it easier for diplomats to join the King's court and for trade to prosper. The people left behind gradually became the Nomadic tribes that lived there today.
