Castle Ordine
Castle Ordine was a Cordaintine fortification just outside the City of Renn. Today, it stands in ruins.
Purpose / Function
Castle Ordine was created as a point of power to keep the inhabitants of Renn and it's surrounding settlements in check. This was successful for some time, although it was eventually destroyed by a sudden uprising, an uprising that ended up forming the Kingdom of Erdantia.
Architecture
Castle Ordine bears the steep roofs and flat stone bricks so common in Cordaintine fortifications. It uses a type of limestone only found in the Long Mountains, and wood from the various forests around Renn (although those forests have mainly been used up nowadays). Its roof is made from slate from the far side of the long mountains.
History
The castle was built in 1221, with the eradication of the last resistance in Erdantia. It was manned constantly, one of three fortifications in that area alone. Through the constant vigilance of fortifications like these, order was maintained for over 50 years. However, on the 61st of the Month of Kineva, 1398, the people of Erdantia, particularly of Renn, took up arms. Ordine, despite its well-trained soldiers and strong walls, fell almost instantly. Today, just under 200 years later, it still stands as a reminder of the success of the rebellion.
