Castle of Shadows

The Castel d'Ombro, or Castle of Shadows as it is commonly called, resides on the coast of Sicily as dark and foreboding now as it was when it was first built by the Lasombra Antediluvian. For countless centuries, the castle was the center of Clan Lasombra, through the Antediluvian himself, and his childer Montano that also roamed the Castle. It was there that the Eldest spent much of his days in torpor while contemplating about the dark secrets of the Abyss. During the Dark Ages, the Castle was a main focus of Lasombra activity, as the Courts of Blood were in upheaval over the Shadow Reconquista happening in Iberia, and the Crusades of the Holy Land. Pilgrims of Clan Lasombra traveled wide distances in order to gain an audience by their founder or one of his childer.

All of this changed in 1405, when the Castle was attacked by the Anarchs with the aid of some Assamites, led by the Antediluvian's own childe, Gratiano. It is widely believed that Gratiano was able to diablerize the Clan founder.

After this, the Castle of Shadows has fallen into disuse. It is rumored that the occasional Court of Blood is still held here.
