Construction: Fifteen feet thick duracrete walls poured over the skeletons of various alloys for reinforcement, completed around 3800 BBY.


Description & Layout
Though derelict in appearance on the surface, the Citadel is far from that upon closer inspection. Located 6,000 miles west of Keldabe in a treacherous mountain range lies the ancient fortress known only as 'The Citadel'. Named thusly, it was built on the highest peak in the region and guarded the only path to the ancient village of Dor'zavayn. Situated firmly on the mountain peaks and constructed to withstand most orbital bombardments of the time, the Citadel was always thought to be impregnable with the only recorded defeats happening there having occurred over three thousand years ago. Believed to be a myth and nothing more, it's secrecy and ability to defend it easily with smaller numbers helped ensure the Survival of the Orar'da'yadr. Beneath the fortress and carved into the heart of the mountain lie bunkers designed to house, feed, and entertain the occupants of the fortress as well as a hangar bay accessible via launch tube.


History
Constructed some time in 3800 BBY, the fortress was originally created by a Clan referred only to as 'Digur'. Digur was a longtime ally of Clan Skirata and even protected the only route through the mountains to attack the Clans home of Dor'zavayn. Betraying Skirata sometime in 3690's, Digur would attack Skirata and nearly exterminate the Clan. Surviving the attack, they would call upon allies to help them attack Digur at the Citadel. Taking the fortress after a bloody war, "Digur" would be cleansed and erased from memory. From then on, the Citadel would belong to Clan Skirata, who would open the doors to the fortress to their allies within the Orar'da'yadr when times fell hard on the Mando'ade. Having thrived in the mountains for thousands of years, the members of the Orar'da'yadr are hardy folk, tireless due to the constant mountaineering.

Clans That Reside In the Fortress
Clan Skirata- Owners of the Citadel and de facto leaders of the Orar'da'yadr. Led by Alor Kira Skirata
Clan Diru- Led by Alor Masano Diru.
Clan Naskar- Led by Alor Hrothgar Naskar
Clan Crabagr- Led by Ca'tra Crabagr
Clan Dha'rekr- Led by Kormac Dha'rekr
Clan Crowholde-

(This may change as other Clans join the Covert)

Intent
To provide a detailed write-up of the already approved main fortress from the original Orar'da'yadr lore post. This is also to provide more info of the Orar'da'yadr Fortress as more Clans rally to the cause. I can update and add more detail as needed.

The amount of defenses the citadel has seems a little excessive. Would feel better if maybe you did some RP's about acquiring some of the turret tech to outfit the place.

10-4 chief. Will scale back defenses or at least notate ones that will be gained via events.

You've got a typo in the defenses part.

"Defenses: 2 AA Cannons, 12 AP turrets (with 18 of them along the walls, the other six are at key choke points within the walls), 2 long range artillery cannons."

Fixed it. Sorry about that!
