Barrestow Keep (888- present)
Barrestow Keep (now spelled "Barstow" by mundanes) is an ancient hill fort located in the real-world location of Maesbury Castle.
Winchester Castle from c. 600-888
After Stranggore as a kingdom ceased to exist, the wizards migrated (some would say they fled) to the site of what is now (in the late twelfth century) Winchester Castle. They preserved the claim that they were stewards of the Kingdom of Stranggore.
When the wizards of the British Isles were offered the opportunity to join the Order of Hermes, the Wizards' Council of Stranggore resisted. They were reluctant to renounce their allegiance to the ancient throne. Eventually they were persuaded to swear the Code of Hermes, but only by threat of violence. As a condition for their acceptance into the Order, the wizards were compelled to relocate. They secretly brought the ancient throne with them when they moved.
Keepers of the Heirs of Stranggore Lords of Wessex
Shortly after the fall of Camelot and the dissolution of Arthur's Britain, the Wizards' Council was founded by the newly-independent petty king of Stranggore. Stranggore was sooner or later absorbed into Wessex.
