D for
 DANCE OF THE GIANTS

The Shrouded Castle has a flaw.  "The castle walls would crumble if giants ever danced there."  That is why Stangmar has been hunting down all the giants.

When in the darkness a castle doth spin,
Small will be large, ends will begin.
Only when giants make dance in the hall
Shall every barrier crumble and fall.
