Gelus Fortress
Gelus fortress is the home of the god Kozrumon, leader of a knightly order of devils contractually sworn to his service. It lies in the most northern reaches of the world, in the mountains of the barren continent of Sasheth. There he builds his forces into a mighty army, waiting for the day when his secret plans can be fulfilled and his evil designs relized. Until then, though, He keeps to his own lands and deals only with those who would seek his power.
Purpose / Function
The fortress serves as the primary headquarters for Kozrumon's knighthood, and the place where his most valuable and trusted servants reside. As Kozrumon's army expands, the devils contruct more forts in the surrounding mountains, expanding their territory outward, but new devils always form in Gelus Fortress.
Architecture
The fortress is built atop, and partially on the side of, a mountain, and is said to contain the cave in which Kozrumon's frozen body is hidden. The structure is large enough to house thousands of soldiers.
Defenses
The fortress is guarded at all times by Kozrumon's devil-knights, and the outskirts are overseen by scouts, watchmen, flying devils, and Gelus dragons. Approaching the fortress is difficult, and infiltrating it is nearly impossible.
History
Kozrumon began contruction of the fortress shortly after his death and rebirth as a devil, and it has undergone continuous improvements in the centuries since. Most notably, when survivors of the Cyrdian Empire were recruited, they brought the use of gunpowder, and cannons were added to the walls of the fortress.
