Lucian's Castle

In fact, the text explicitly states that Lucian recruits slaves to build a force against vampires and later storms the vampire fortress where Viktor resides. The narrative centers on the conflict at the Vampire Fortress, not a separate Lycan stronghold named 'Lucian's Castle'.

Lore & Background

Instead, it details events at the Vampire Fortress, where Viktor raises Lucian as a slave and later imprisons him. The plot focuses on Lucian escaping this vampire stronghold with other Lycans, recruiting human slaves and werewolves to build an army outside the castle walls, and eventually storming the fortress back to rescue Sonja. The 'countryside' is filled with savage werewolves born from William's rampage, but it never describes a specific Lycan castle or headquarters named after Lucian.
