Stonewall Keep

Stonewall Keep is a military base that is occupied on the border of where the Aldmeri territory and the Cragmeri territory meets. It is a historic military base, and one that is critical in the current socio-political landscape between the Cragmeri and Aldmeri today.   In 0589 4.E., Senso, the Ungod of War, appeared before a village of Cragmeri near the border close to Stonewall Keep. He released the gas within his body that causes anyone who inhales it to go into a blood rage, and thus an attack on Stonewall Keep ensued.    The attack was bloody, and long. Though it was an impromptu attack, the Cragmeri were well versed in unarmed and unarmored combat. The Cragmeri took the Aldmeri by surprise, and the response to the attack was weak at first. Luckily, the base was well fortified enough to hold back the Cragmeri forces until the Aldmeri were able to mount some sort of counter attack.    The battle raged on for nearly a full day, and both sides suffered many casualties. Cragmeri and Aldmeri alike lay bloody and beaten on the battlefield. Walls and doors were broken and destroyed. Important symbols were desecrated and in some cases burned. And at the end of it all, the Stonewall Keep narrowly kept itself from being completely annihilated by the Cragmeri forces that had ravaged the military base. Of course, when all was said and done, Senso appeared once more on the battlefield and fed on the blood of the fallen warriors that he had caused to shed that very blood for his cruel amusement.    Stonewall Keep was rebuilt over the course of the next 20 years, and was kept as a reminder of the shameful display that the Cragmeri had been forced into by Senso. It also served to exaggerate tensions between the Cragmeri and Aldmeri, the effects of which can still be felt to this day in the form of discrimination and subtle racism.
