Battle of Fort Lobo

A massive conflict during the Bandar-Skahlian war. During the fighting, the wall withstood dragonfire and siege. It resulted in a great Bandarian victory and has entered their tales of heroics among the populace.

Architecture & Location

The fort is built into the wall itself, it’s northern fortifications rising more than 100 meters above a large field. The field runs parallel to the wall and extends further northward for 150 meters, acting as a buffer to alert soldiers to incoming attacks. Beyond this field lies the thick forests of the untamed wilderness.

The fortress proper is comprised of multiple large terraces which gradually step down southward until reaching ground level. The upper tiers house barracks, munitions depots, armories, & command rooms. As the tiers descend, one can find storehouses, workshops, mess halls, and various logistical facilities. The lower tiers are home to a small town of traders, brothels, and various sources of entertainment which accommodate the many soldiers garrisoned at the fort.

Passage

Northward passage to the wilderness is usually allowed unless the fort comes under attack, in which case the fort goes into a form of lockdown until the threat is overcome. Southward passage is strictly controlled and usually requires trade papers or a passport from one of the neighboring kingdoms. Currently anyone arriving from Gamba is harshly interrogated, imprisoned, or denied entry as the two kingdoms are at war.
