Castelli is a city in Erdrafos, Canstice. It is surrounded by swampy land with unique reeds. It is on the banks of the Malibarda River and on the border of the Hamës Forest. Castelli is surrounded by marshlands which grow a unique reed called hobb-reed that is harvested and sold. It is 12 miles away to the Prasinus Imperator in the Mnemerian Highlands. Also, across the river to the north-east is the ruins of the Lýantine Empire city Monovo.

Castelli is a fortress town, built around fortifications built by the Order of the Iron Spear during the Hellgate Wars. It is populated mostly by humans (sofian and dheanfolk), deva, teiflings and dragonborn. Though it has a small population, the town sees many people traveling by road on short trips. Most traffic from Quatermass to Evandra is done by lake.
