Not to be confused with The Citadel on Doggo Island

The Citadel or Old Citadel is a structure located in the Southeast corner of the world, on Citadel Island. It was brought over from the season 1 world. It seems to have some connections to Rabo, as there are references to Him in the basement of the building.
