Eye of the Doget (fortress guarding North Gate Garrison)

Steel Realms

The Eye of the Doget is a fortress in the mountains of the Tolkisson Mountain Range between North Gate Garrison and the forest of Gaur Dinuae that guards the left flank of North Gate Garrison proper (it is considered an official part of its defenses). It is the responsibility of the elves of Enthavelaugh Weald to man, supply, and ensure its safety. Honeystone Pollen is always on hand to clear upper fields used by Lich Lords minions in emergencies.

This is the primary contribution of the elves of Rhyl to its defense. Elves from other Wealds are often found here, as well as numbers supplemented by mercenaries in the deepest cold of winter.

The buried ruins of the fortress of Doget’s Burial was once the Eye of the Doget. It fell in CY 8817.

The fortress was constructed with the help of human and dwarven masons in CY 8831. The construction lasted 40 years – without the aid of the Ducateon, it went significantly slower than the original. Honeystone Pollen was used to help keep away the worst of the freezing to aid in its construction. Since the main fortress’s completion, several smaller connected redoubts have been added over the years.

External Responsibility: The fortress of the Eye of the Doget is managed as part of the Defenses of the Enthavelaugh Weald, though outside the proper boundaries of the Weald’s powers. Blood Leaf has worked over generations to ensure some of the Laeyline power can be channeled to its defenses – though the true extent of this is not known.
