The Reaver Castle
Stronghold where Tagg expects to finish his body-swap procedure, unaware it has already been nuked.
Story so far
Epitome Tagg proposes over Warlord Chat that the procedure be finished at the Reaver castle: the brain would be kept intact and reimplanted, and Louis would cease being a crawler. He complains that Fang was being an ass and would not allow the brain implant until he too was free.
Carl pauses and exchanges a look with Donut — the guy is truly in the dark. Tagg has no idea the castle has been nuked, which makes his entire proposal impossible even if anyone were willing to entertain it.
Role
The destroyed facility at the center of Tagg's plan, proving how blind he is to events outside his host.
Relationships
Epitome Tagg — Bases his body-swap plan on a castle that no longer stands.
