Forlorn King's Hold
A rare sight of Settlers from the Second Age that tried to settle on this wild lands. The natives lets so few survivors or remains of their trace it is rather surprising they keep parts of this construction in the landscape.
-Sadim Al-Bhakari, geographer and historian
Purpose / Function
The tower was expected to serve as a barracks for the military that accompanied the settlers on the fridge of Bloodroot Marsh.
The tower was also planned to be used as a secure settlement for the to-be annointed King of the region if the settlement would have remained a stable colony for the kingdom of (X).The reigning man, Gallus Scyllona, was given the reins of the colony.
Alterations
It has been expected that if the natives tribes did not razed the incomplete building, that they used it as a landmark and safe spot from wild animals as well. Some remains of natives tribes remains partially inside the ruined tower, including the parts of a now collapsed bamboo roof.
Architecture
The original tower was made of stonework made of stone gathered on a nearby stone quarry near the southern coast of the map
History
As it was under progress of construction, the natives cleansed the settler's camp clean, leaving to survivors to tell the tale. After the bloodshed, very few explorer's imported ressources were wiped clean aside from a handful of items hidden in the tower's basement. Centuries later, the remains of the (population clan) were also left to ruin under circumstances unknown which left the historians puzzled.
After the colony was confirmed to have been razed, the authorities of the kingdom tried to remove the name of Scyllona from the registeries to reduce as much remnants of the colony failure as possible. His family also fell in disgrace for his failure and lost many political power in the aftermath.
