Before all of this, Winterhold Castle had never been considered a major stronghold within human territory.
Its only significance was its proximity to the Abyss, which made it a strategic fortress meant to defend against abyssal threats. That was the sole reason it had been built in the first place.
Because of its remote location—far from the heartlands of the human race—Winterhold Castle had always been neglected.
However, the moment Daniel's fiefdom was designated here, everything changed.
The entire northern frontier, along with Winterhold Castle, immediately became the most desired region among the human population.
Even before the influx of ancient knowledge, Winterhold Castle had already become as important as the capital of humanity.
And now—with the addition of those priceless books from the Artists—it was no exaggeration to say that Winterhold Castle had become the most important city in all of human civilization. Period.
