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.
Summerhal Palace was a summer palace and hunting lodge owned by the Kythiran imperial House Viromaro. It functioned as a tranquil place away from the busy metropolis of Helmira. During the Fourth Era, it was burned down by rebel slaves during the Massacre at Summerhal. Several weeks later, the burned out palace was used by Aqumis forces as target practice during their Siege of Solleria. After the rebellion was broken, the palace remained abandoned, resulting in the remnants being looted for remaining valuables. 


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.
