History

This building came way later in the history of this city. At first there was just a group of warbands and merchants hanging together and that worked for a very long time. Following the ways of the tribes, chieftains fought to assert dominance and the strongest became the formal leader of the settlement which then appointed economic and logistics councellors. After an extended period of chaos in the city caused by a lack of provisions and planning, the political system was revised and the creation of the Triumvirate followed. The fort was built to house the leaders of the city and centralize power physically. Since it's creation it did not evolve much besides the interconnection of physical buildings via interior hallways. The buildings are always very well maintained but kept sober from the exterior not to cast shadows over the very strong religious authorities.
