El Manglar was a little town that was almost entirely made up of makeshift wooden shacks that had been built on the water, being guarded by a wall built of stone and providing protection.
There was a little plaza that could be found in the vicinity of the foot of the gigantic watchtower that stood in the middle of the town.
The purpose of the fortified town that was constructed bang smack in the middle of the canal was to act as a defensive fortification for the interior of the archipelago.
The large lookout tower was able to keep a constant eye not only on the water but also on the land that was adjacent to the swamp where it was located.
Large ships would not have been able to access the archipelago under typical circumstances due to the massive stone wall that was there.
However, by the time tonight rolled around, the town had been completely annihilated by the raging flames.
