Fortress of Jorhat

The Fortress of Jorhat was a fortification located in the Hordelands.

Location
The ruins of this fortress sat halfway up the mountain of Jorhat Shan.

Structure
Though a mess of ruins, the Fortress of Jorhat covered several acres of the mountainside. Tightly packed buildings, alleys, and walls were in various state of disrepair. Much of them had collapsed and tumbled down the steep cliff faces.

Interior
Many tunnels and passageways were carved into the rock beneath the fortress, most of which were only accessible from the ruins.

Rumors and Legends
Locals believed the fortress was initially constructed by rebels engaged in a conflict with Mulhorand, serving as their main base from which they executed raids through the Howling Gap and Teyla Shan. The rebels were eventually cornered by a force of wizards, priests, and soldiers and were slaughtered to the last man.

Inhabitants
Most sane people avoided the ruins of the Fortress of Jorhat. Passing caravans on the Iron Road hurried quickly by the mass of crumbling buildings, choosing to camp far from the ruins which were believed to be haunted.
