Fort Agar

Fort Agar was the last fortress built by the Amaran people before the seas devoured their lands. It then stood as the last city of the greats and the mythical world that was forgotten. For centuries it was thought to be the only proof of the old world ever having existed, but then the ruins of Stormgate castle were discovered upon an island east of Arzuria.

When the ash and waters had gone the only people that survived from the Amaran race were those in the mountains. They found their lost city, abandoned and incomplete. They then finished its construction and it quickly became their home and kingdom following the only Lord of Amar to survive. He was the nephew of the last King of Amar.

The day came when the three brothers decided to split and look for their own lands. Alorn went west and had a fortress built upon the tallest hill in the old lands of Barthor. Erivan went south to the lost lands of the lesser clans and had a fortress built upon the mountain face which overlooked the forests. Arzorn however, behing the eldest, stayed behind and ruled Fort Agar.

Fort Agar was still standing strong some thousand years later, after many assassinations and guerrilla battles had occurred within its walls. It finally fell into ruin when the twin sun children of the following Era split away and went to war with one another. The city was the scene of a violent fire fight and even after that a great civil war saw the city fall. It was then shadowed by the fort of Lord Korvon who built his base high up in the mountains.

During the fourth era of the third age, two Kings, one of Arzornia, and one of Alornia drew the last people from Agar and were split in two, those following the Arzornia king went on to found Arzuria, whilst the otehrs reinforced Alornia's notion as the capital for the time being, or so they thought. no one really accounted for the hundreds of others left in the city who went on to form the people of Othornia.

When the newer capital of Arzuria (Arncourt) was being built, the top of the tower from Fort Agar was taken in pieces on hundreds of carts and reassembled in the centre of the new city. its beacon is still lit if news about the sun child is about.

The olf fort plays a key part in many stories, as it is in the cetnre of the country, it overlooks the inhabited (west) side of Arinalgar/Arzutare, and also the abandoned waste of Amar (east side)

When the region/dominion of Othornia rose in the early third age, they immediately moved into Fort Agar and used the ruins as their home until their own cities or forts were cmpleted. Even towards the end, Agar remained a vital part of the Othorian dominion.
