Dragoncrest ruins

only silence comes from the ruins of what had once been Androns greatest and proudest achievement. Dragon fort had been sacked and ruined by Lord Akuma, leaving only ghosts and a large cementery behind. Many warriors still live close to these ruins, searching for lost glory and hope. Scavengers search teh area for abandoned weaponry and scraps of it's former glory.
The ground is sour and bone dry, unsuited for farming. This mostly because of the many battles fought over the barracks and its grounds. Blood, ash and rot have seeped into the dirt, making it difficult for people to settle here.

Purpose / Function

The barracks in Dragoncrest used to serve as home to king Leopold III and his kin. The surrounding barracks held Leopold's army. From the master bedroom you could look over the training grounds down below, which in it's hayways could host up to 1000 men in training. This was only one of the training grounds surrounding Dragon fort, but it was the one where Leopolds closest generals and lieutenants were trained. The king would watch over his men, even when war was well on leopold's doorstep.
Nowaways the barracks and castle are nothing more than the remainder of grandure. After Dragoncrest fell, Akuma and his men were quick to reduce the training grounds to rubble and ash. Walls have been torn down, structures burned and inhabitants murdered. today the Dragoncrest ruins are silent and host the lands most inpressive graveyard, filled to the brim with the soldiers Leopold used to watch over.

Alterations

The castle was adjusted in the years on the needs and whims royal family, the castle had been expanded, a moat has been dug, walls have been reinforced and during the time of Leopold II there was even a royal garden. Leopold III himself altered relatively little,due to his preoccupation with the war on a young half demon lord with an impressive army. The garden died and in it's place tents, towers and walls appeared.

Architecture

A stone, raised castle at the center of what seemed a small village, but was actually a military complex to the most advanced army of Andron. The barracks were mainly wooden structures, insulated with animal pelts in winter.
