Undumor

Undumor (previously known as Emmech) was a fortress in Aglarond. The fortress was located at the mouth of the River Umber, atop a low hill. It was built from gray stone, and designed with towers and walls with parapets and crenulations.

History
The fortress was originally named Emmech, and was built by King Brindor Olósynne to aid in the defence of Aglarond against invaders from Thesk.

In 1194 DR, it launched forces to repel the invasion of the Red Wizards from Thay in the Battle of the Singing Sands, in which King Elthond Olósynne was killed.

By 1368 DR, the number of troops in Emmech had increased to 2500, which was a large proportion of the total army. There was also a village around the fortress with five hundred inhabitants, who kept the harbor and provided services to the troops.

In 1374 DR, the detachment of Aglarondan griffonriders stationed in Emmech were led by Captain Araevil Darkeye, and the overall command of the troops, known as the Army of the Lion was held by Lord Gante Demelin. The amount of soldiers had been reduced to 1500, but the population of the old village had swelled, with the town of 6100 ruled by Lady Mantelia Parsuns. The settlement outside the fortress had a military feel and most of its buildings were constructed of stone. The two towers facing the River Umber were equipped with a river chain that could be raised from the bottom of the river in order to block the passage of ships.

At some point between 1375 DR and 1479 DR, it fell into Thayan hands and was renamed Undumor. As of 1479 DR, it contained undead creatures such as vampiric knights. Citadel Dantalien conducted regular assaults on the fortress in an attempt to clear the undead, but they were rumoured to be digging beneath the river in order to circumvent Citadel Dantalian altogether.
