Fort Dragon's Eye
Fort Dragon's Eye is the Eastmose Fort of the Kingdom of Amur. Usually the first of the Forts to need to deal with an organized Dragonborn Army. The Fort was actually constructed to keep watch on the Dragon's Council.
Purpose / Function
Built to keep an eye on the Dragon Council and try to provide advance warning if they should decide to invade, the Fort proved quite useless during the reign of the Dragon Council. In the wake of their dissolution the Fort has been repurposed to protect against The Motherland and her ambitions.
Alterations
Extensive alterations were done after the First invasion of the Motherland. Converting it from a Fort designed to protect from arial attacks to prevent a mobile army from ingress into the Interior required the Fort to be reworked from the ground up. In an effort to be more cost effective and quick, not all the old structure was removed, and sometimes old forgotten chambers are broken into.
Architecture
Having originally been built of stone, the remodel reused much of the stone in its construction. Wooden structure only make up a small portion of the structure, and usually only the topmost layers.
Defenses
Heavily fortified, large thick walls bristle with arrow slits and catapult and ballistae emplacements surround an ample courtyard for trebuchet use. A large keep overlooks the courtyard and provides a redoubt that has successfully held on multiple occasions.
History
Built originally to be a forward defense against the Dragon Council, no attack ever came. Built with extensive tunnels and shielded buildings disguised to look plane and not impressive it was a more expensive project than that of the Capital at the time. Slowly descending into disrepair, by the time the Dragon Council disbanded it was practically non functional. When The motherland first attacked it had been abandoned for a generation. Upon repelling the invaders it was reworked into an Fort worthy of due consideration for any future planned attacks. Since its been reworked it has not been completely overrun, though the keep has had to be used a few times.
