Kings Mistake
Designed originally as a fort for the forces of Requiem to rally to in an invasion of the Lordless Lands, what would be Fort Sumner was sacked and left to ruin during the disastrous second invasion of the Lands. Now the old fort collects dust and rots away, even though it was once deigned to be the seat of generals and a king. Instead, it's used as a den for local monsters, a meeting place for various shady groups, and the site of violent acts.
Fort Sumner was just many of a kings mistakes, but it has gained the name of being the singular one.
Purpose / Function
Kings Mistake (or Fort Sumner as it was actually titled) was to be a military fort and keep for the second invasion of the Lordless Lands. Designed by the renowned architect Pynar Valra, known for his work on rebuilding the Fuller Keep for Lord Sumner, and built over the course of half a decade, Kings Mistake didn't last long enough to truly live up to its expectations.
Architecture
Designed as a single story keep with a large basement so that the main building would not be easy to target by mages outside the wall, Kings Mistake is a single story building inside a set of stone walls. These walls and the building itself have since fallen into disrepair, grown over by the forest around it and collapsing at various points.
History
Kings Mistake fell in 410, when the forces of the Lordless Lands shunted the attempted invasion and pushed into Requiems territory. A brief 3 day battle was fought over Fort Sumner. Its believed King Sumner and Pynar Valra were both present in the keep during the battle, and had to retreat out of a hidden passage when it was overrun.
For years Kings Mistake has sat as a point of small battles, monster dens, and meeting points for those looking for a bit of privacy.
