Lancemount

Lancemount is the massive structure in Strongfield that houses the seat of government for the Kingdom of Lancia. Before 155 MR, Lancemount was the site of a druidic stone circle, which was destroyed when Verbonia was built. When the Age of Tyrants began in 356 MR, Verbonia began a state of decay, and a Motte-Man war-chief constructed a motte against the eastern wall of the city, to build a hall upon. By 358, it was completed, and in 360 MR, a Jokastrian chief ousted the Motte-Men, and rechristened the city Strongfield, as it was called before the Malthusians. Since 360, the motte was expanded and built up, to the point where it became the hulking mass it is today, housing the family of the King of Lancia, the Chamberlain of the keep and his family, an Ehlonnic abbey, and the local garrison.
