Orosantenoye, literally meaning "High-placed Fortress" in Mirselec, is a fortress in Risevne, situated in Hisani Province on the island of Agalmare. It is one of the Four Famous Castles of Risevne, and owing to the highly different cultural and political situation of the region from the kingdoms of Masalne it is easily one of the most distinctive.

Besides its own construction the fortress is also famous for the large groves of Soriseta trees which grow to its west and north, covering the cliffs on which the fortress is set; during mid summer the blooming of the flowers, and the subsequent shedding which leaves the cliffs a deep violet through early autumn, gives it the moniker of Brelkasurenoye, or "Violet Hill Fortress".
