History

Ekko Keep was built in 115 A.D.O. to protect the bridge as a choke-point to stop the advancement of the Gralian Army when it waged war against I'ossa. It has attracted permanent residents and a few businesses since the time of the Gralian Treaty. The keep maintains a regiment of soldiers who bring income to these businesses and keep them afloat.
