The castle itself and its catacombs housed the Rivenroar family (living and deceased) long ago.

Some other local families of note used the catacombs as a place of interment as well. These families and the Rivenroars had more than one thing in common, a reverence for Vecna.

It was used by the hobgoblin warchief Sinruth as headquarters for his goblinoid army and undead allies.
