Socral

Socral Fortress is the headquarters of the Phoenix Knights. Over the decades it has grown to a small city which is populated by the order members, their families and allies.

Purpose / Function

Socral fortress serves as headquarters for the Order of Phoenix Knights and is home of house Crane. Over the years, its battlements got extended since more order members settled around the castle. Moreover, Socral can be devided in different section which all serve another purpose.

The Wall Ditch

This is the most outer section which encloses the entire fortress. It is a massive wall surrounded by a ditch. If necessary the ditch can be filled by water or fire. This is possible through a web of pipes.
However this wall only has four wooden gates as entrances facing in each direction.

The Outer Gates (North and South)

Those are the first massive and stone made gates. Both have huge portcullises and fogged up wooden doors. This defense section has some towers to overwatch the land. It also protects the outer ring which contains the homes of veteran soldiers and cunning volunteers. If an attack is accuring, those fighters are able to man the walls very quickly because they are well trained and experienced.

The Middle Gates (East and West)

The middle gates protect the houses of acolyths, order members and workers. Furthermore, they are towers with small drawbridges which provide further ways to enter the inner section.
This section is more like a small city with a marketplace in front of the inner gate. There also small baracks or hideouts which can be used as defense. For example, the marketplace has four stone statues which sockles are can hprovide shelter for crossbow shooters.

The Inner Gate

This is the innerst section which is dominated by the keep of Socral. It also serves as the home for amory, wardens and masters.
