The Royal Observatory
Purpose / Function
At one time this edifice had been a strictly scientific location, a great wonder of engineering with the sole purpose of studying the heavens. Since the restructuring the location on the very edge of the Blighted Lands has allowed for a new form of study. The telescope now fixed on the soiling darkness that covers the Ephemeral Sea, the station allows many scholars to study and puzzle over the mysteries that are hidden within.
Alterations
The exterior and yard of the edifice has been reinforced and fortified to hold back the horrors of the Void. The yard now contains a small armory and barrack for a regiment of troops tasked with keeping the location and its researchers safe.
Architecture
The construction was done is a grand and classic style, borrowing from the elves a great deal.
Defenses
Aside from the reinforced stone walls that ring the entire area, there are now five defensive towers that are manned at all times, each outfitted with cannons and a small compliment of firearms.
History
The structure itself was built only a mere four years prior to the Blight being called down, and was an extension of the The University of the Lighted Way , hailing some of the greatest minds in specialized fields of the time. Considered at the time to be a jewel in the crown of Sovereign Daimus III , there was a great deal of hope that the discoveries they hoped to make there would further the global culture as a whole.
