Castle Summerhal is a lightly fortified castle used as a summer palace and hunting lodge for Kythrian royalty. It was constructed during the early Third Era by Emperor Richard I Viromaro, and it offers a place of tranquility away from the busy metropolis of Helmira.
Due to the castle’s relative isolation it has been a preferred rendezvous point between Imperius and Kythiran dignitaries during both the Third and Fourth Era. During the Alcanzar Slave Rebellion of the Fourth Era, the castle was the site of the Massacre at Summerhal, and the death of Emperor Charles II Viromaro. The palace fell into disuse, with Charles III Viromaro building Fort Winterhal in Helmira, and Alexander Viromaro building the Skaði Palace in Ardoragh as a new hunting lodge. Emperor Louis Viromaro renovated Summerhal, and used it occasionally for royal hunts. After his forced abdication, he used the palace as a residence for a few years, until he was ordered to move to the smaller Villa Isla de Peligro.
